    Abstract The aim of this work was to study the capability and mechanism of enhancing the yield of pulcherriminic acid (PA) produced by Metschnikowia citriensis FL01 with the help of tryptophan for the control of postharvest diseases on citrus caused by Penicillium italicum, Geotrichum citri-aurantii and Penicillium digitatum. The adding of 10 mmol/L tryptophan to the growth medium resulted in the widest pulcherrimin pigment zone produced by M. citriensis FL01. The adding of tryptophan to the growth medium upregulated A3136 and A3022 gene expression (responsible for leucyl-tRNA biosynthesis from leucine), downregulated A1350 gene expression (responsible for the biosynthesis of leucine to branched-chain fatty acids), and decreased the content of intracellular leucine in M. citriensis FL01, speculating that the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium induced leucine conversion toward leucyl-tRNA in M. citriensis FL01. Moreover, the adding of tryptophan to the growth medium upregulated PULs (responsible PA biosynthesis) and Snf2 (transcriptional regulator) gene expression and promoted intracellular, extracellular or total PA production by M. citriensis FL01 in liquid medium. In addition, the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium showed no effect on the growth of M. citriensis FL01 itself in liquid medium, while the population dynamics in citrus fruit wounds of M. citriensis FL01 with the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium were increased compared with those of M. citriensis FL01. What's more, M. citriensis FL01 with the addition of tryptophan in the growth medium completely inhibited the growth of pathogens in vitro. The disease incidences and lesion diameters of blue mold, sour rot and green mold on citrus fruit were lower in group which treated with M. citriensis FL01 containing tryptophan in the growth medium than that treated with M. citriensis FL01 alone. Overall, the postharvest biocontrol of citrus with M. citriensis FL01 containing 10 mmol/L tryptophan in the growth medium is a promising approach to protect these fruits from blue mold, sour rot and green mold.

    Abstract Background: Few studies have focused on the relationship between the traditional Chinese medicine constitution (TCMC) and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in older populations. We sought to investigate the distribution of MAFLD and the TCMC in older people, and provide a theoretical basis for TCMC-based management of MAFLD in this population.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among older (≥65 years) individuals in Zhongshan, China. Information on common sociodemographic characteristics, medical history, anthropometric measurements, and the TCMC was collected. The chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and inverse probability weighting of the propensity score were used to explore the relationship between MAFLD and the TCMC.
    Results: Of 7085 participants, 1408 (19.9 %) had MAFLD. The three most common TCMC types in MAFLD patients were "phlegm-dampness", "gentleness", and "yin-deficiency". After adjustment for gender, age, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, abnormal waist-to-hip ratio, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, MAFLD was positively associated with the phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC) (OR
    Conclusions: A positive relationship was observed between MAFLD and the PDC in older people living in Zhongshan. Early detection and treatment of the PDC (especially in men and smokers) could prevent the occurrence and development of MAFLD.

    Abstract This study investigated the effect of arginine (Arg) on the antagonistic activity of Metschnikowia citriensis against sour rot caused by Geotrichum citri-aurantii in postharvest citrus, and evaluated the possible mechanism therein. Arg treatment up-regulated the PUL genes expression, and significantly induced the pulcherriminic acid (PA) production of M. citriensis, which related to the capability of iron depletion of M. citriensis. By comparing the biocontrol effects of Arg-treated and untreated yeast cells, it was found that Arg treatment significantly enhanced the biocontrol efficacy of M. citriensis, and 5 mmol L⁻¹ Arg exerted the best effect. Additionally, the biofilm formation ability of M. citriensis was greatly enhanced by Arg, and the higher population density of yeast cells in citrus wounds was also observed in Arg treatment groups stored both at 25 °C and 4 °C. Moreover, Arg was shown to function as a cell protectant to elevate antioxidant enzyme activity [including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX)] and intracellular trehalose content to resist oxidative stress damage, that directly helped to enhance colonization ability of yeasts in fruit wounds. These results suggest the application of Arg is a useful approach to improve the biocontrol performance of M. citriensis.

    Abstract Background and purpose: In recent years, the incidence of obesity in people aged 60 and over has increased significantly, and abdominal obesity has been recognized as an independent risk factor for diabetes. Aging causes physiologic decline in multiple body systems, leading to changes in obesity indicators such as BMI. At present, the relationship between abdominal obesity markers and Diabetes mellitus (DM) in people aged 60 years and older remains unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to study the correlation between anthropometric indices and diabetes and explore potential predictors.
    Methods: The basic demographic information of participants aged 60 and above in Zhongshan City in 2020 was collected. Physical parameters, blood glucose and other biochemical indices were measured comprehensively. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between abdominal obesity indicators [Waist circumference, Neck Circumference, Waist-to-hip ratio, Chinese Visceral Obesity Index (CVAI), and visceral obesity index] and diabetes mellitus. ROC characteristic curve was used to analyze the predictive ability of abdominal obesity indicators to DM, and the non-restrictive cubic spline graph was used to visualize the screened obesity indicators and diabetes risk.
    Results: Among 9,519 participants, the prevalence of diabetes was 15.5%. Compared with low CVAI, High CVAI level was significantly associated with increased prevalence of DM in males and females (all
    Conclusion: Among these anthropometric indices, CVAI is consistent with the features of fat distribution in older individuals and shows superior discriminative power as a potential predictor of DM, compared to traditional anthropometric parameters.

    Abstract Metschnikowia citriensis FL01 has great potential for biocontrol applications for its excellent biocontrol efficacy on postharvest diseases of citrus fruit, and the iron depletion by pulcherriminic acid (PA) and then formation of insoluble pigment pulcherrimin had been speculated as an important action mechanism. To identify the genes involved in pulcherrimin synthesis and reutilization in M. citriensis FL01, we de novo assembled the genome of M. citriensis FL01 based on long-read PacBio sequencing. The final assembled genome consisted of 12 contigs with a genome size of 25.74 Mb, G + C content of 49.16% and 9310 protein-coding genes. The genome-wide BLAST of the PUL genes of M. pulcherrima APC 1.2 showed that the four PUL genes were clustered and located on Contig 4 of M. citriensis FL01. In order to further clarify the role of pulcherrimin pigment on biocontrol of M. citriensis FL01, CRISPR/cas9 technology was used to knock out PUL2 gene that was responsible for PA synthesis and the pigmentless mutants with stable phenotype were obtained. The mutant strains of M. citriensis FL01 lost the ability to produce pulcherrimin pigment, and simultaneously lost the ability to inhibit the growth of Geotrichum citri-aurantii in vitro. Moreover, the biocontrol efficacy of pigmentless mutant strains against sour rot was about 80% lower than that of wild-type M. citriensis FL01. These results directly proved that the iron depletion was an important mechanism of M. citriensis FL01.

    Abstract Bacterial soft rot is a devastating disease that harms vegetables. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can be effective antagonist against soft rot pathogens. In this study, Lactobacillus paracasei WX322 and its produced bacteriocin had antibacterial activities against a variety of foodborne pathogens and spoilage bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially the soft rot pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. brasiliense BZA12 (Pcb BZA12). The in vivo antibacterial test proved that the bacteriocin produced by the L. paracasei WX322 could control soft rot disease of peppers caused by Pcb BZA12. The L.paracasei WX322 produced bacteriocin after fermentation for 36 h, which had broad antimicrobial activity. In addition, the bacteriocin produced by L. paracasei WX322 had good thermal stability and broad pH adaptation. Then, the complete genome of L. paracasei WX322 was sequenced with one circular chromosome and eight plasmids. Three bacteriocin gene clusters were identified in the genome by antiSMASH. Furthermore, seven genes in the three gene clusters were identified to be bacteriocins. Moreover, three of the seven bacteriocins were novel. The complete genome sequences of the L. paracasei WX322 can provide a better molecular basis of its antibacterial activity and biocontrol effect on bacterial soft rot disease.
