    Abstract At present, atmospheric and room-temperature plasma (ARTP) is regarded as a new and powerful mutagenesis technology with the advantages of environment-friendliness, operation under mild conditions, and fast mutagenesis speed. Compared with traditional mutagenesis strategies, ARTP is used mainly to change the structure of microbial DNA, enzymes, and proteins through a series of physical, chemical, and electromagnetic effects with the organisms, leading to nucleotide breakage, conversion or inversion, causing various DNA damages, so as to screen out the microbial mutants with better biological characteristics. As a result, in recent years, ARTP mutagenesis and the combination of ARTP with traditional mutagenesis have been widely used in microbiology, showing great potential for application. In this review, the recent progress of ARTP mutagenesis in different application fields and bottlenecks of this technology are systematically summarized, with a view to providing a theoretical basis and technical support for better application. Finally, the outlook of ARTP mutagenesis is presented, and we identify the challenges in the field of microbial mutagenesis by ARTP.

    Abstract Antibiotic resistance has become a comprehensive and complicated environmental problem. It is of great importance to effectively determine the abundance of various antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. Here, we attempted to find a practical method for monitoring environmental antibiotic resistance. The results of culture-based analysis of antibiotic resistance and metagenomic sequencing indicate that egrets inhabiting along the urban river (Jinjiang River) can be used as the sentinel of environmental antibiotic resistance. The antibiotic resistance in the environment fluctuated with time, while that in the wild bird was relatively stable. The network analysis based on metagenomic sequencing data gave the co-occurrence pattern of ARGs. The overall situation of the antibiotic resistance in the river was determined by quantifying several module hub genes of the co-occurrence network in river sediments. The temporal and spatial distribution of ARGs in Jinjiang River is highly correlated with that of human gut-specific bacteriophage (crAssphage), which indicates that one main source of the antibiotic resistance in the river is likely to be municipal sewage. The mobility potential of ARGs varying among different niches suggests the transmission direction of antibiotic resistance in the environment.

    Abstract Levilactobacillus brevis strains can be isolated from traditional Chinese pickles and used as the starter cultures to improve the nutritional profiles of fermented juices. Three L. brevis strains (LBG-29, LBG-24, LBD–14) that produce high levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA; >300 mg/L) were isolated from traditional Chinese pickles. The strains showed tolerance to low pH and high bile salts and exhibited safety in vitro. Litchi juice was fermented using each strain at 37 °C for 48 h. The litchi juice was determined to be a good substrate for fermentation as the process enhanced its functional profile. Overall, cell vitality increased (above 8.7 log₁₀ CFU/mL), the antioxidant activities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were significantly increased, and the antioxidant capacity of the 2,2′-amino-di(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline sulphonic acid-6)ammonium salt (ABTS) was decreased. There was also a significant increase in the GABA and acetic acid content after LBG-29 and LBG-24 fermentation. It was thus determined that the LBG-29 and LBG-24 strains could be used to improve beverage functionality and aid in the development of new products. This is the first report of litchi fermentation using L. brevis as a starter culture. Further research is required to elucidate the functional benefits for the human body and the nutritional and functional properties during its shelf life.

    Abstract Wastewater-based epidemiology has become a powerful surveillance tool for monitoring the pandemic of COVID-19. Although it is promising to quantitatively correlate the SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentration in wastewater with the incidence of community infection, there is still no consensus on whether the viral nucleic acid concentration in sewage should be normalized against the abundance of endogenous biomarkers and which biomarker should be used as a reference for the normalization. Here, several candidate endogenous reference biomarkers for normalization of SARS-CoV-2 signal in municipal sewage were evaluated. The human fecal indicator virus (crAssphage) is a promising candidate of endogenous reference biomarker for data normalization of both DNA and RNA viruses for its intrinsic viral nature and high and stable content in sewage. Without constructing standard curves, the relative quantification of sewage viral nucleic acid against the abundance of the reference biomarker can be used to correlate with community COVID-19 incidence, which was proved via mimic experiments by spiking pseudovirus of different concentrations in sewage samples. Dilution of pseudovirus-seeded wastewater did not affect the relative abundance of viral nucleic acid, demonstrating that relative quantification can overcome the sewage dilution effects caused by the greywater input, precipitation and/or groundwater infiltration. The process of concentration, recovery and detection of the endogenous biomarker was consistent with that of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Thus, it is necessary to co-quantify the endogenous biomarker because it can be not only an internal reference for data normalization, but also a process control.

    Abstract Improvement in the survival of the edible probiotic Pediococcus pentosaceus during the preparation and storage is important. In this study, the protective effects of isomaltose oligosaccharide in a protective agent (sodium glutamate, skimmed milk, and trehalose) on P. pentosaceus during vacuum freeze-drying and low-temperature storage were evaluated. Cell damage, and texture were evaluated using fluorescence analyses, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively, and a water activity assay was performed storage after 1 month of storage (−80, −20, 4, 25 °C). The viability of P. pentosaceus agents (24444, QK-1, MQ-1, and RQ-1) were evaluated for 9 months storage. The results showed that IMO increased 11.02% survival rate of P. pentosaceus QK-1 during the freeze-drying process, which was better than that of 24444, MQ-1, and RQ-1; the texture of the protective agent was thin, with a compact and granular cross-section. Decreased water activity (18.71–34.26%) and cell damage (8.32–10.53%), also enhanced survival rate (5.98–12.85%) were observed in the IMO-containing groups in storage. The survival rates of P. pentosaceus (QK-1, MQ-1, RQ-1) direct-injection agents (9 months) exceeded 90% under gastrointestinal satiety-mimicking conditions in vitro. Our data indicate that IMO has a good protective effect on the freeze-drying and storage processes of P. pentosaceus.

    Abstract Protein engineering is an effective method to improve the thermal stability of biological macromolecules. Cytidine monophosphate kinase (CMK) is a key enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism and participates in the production of cytidine triphosphate. It has previously been confirmed that CMK shows low thermal stability. This study aimed to enhance the thermal stability of CMK. Herein, we first analyzed native CMK using PoPMuSiC. Thereafter, we constructed single point mutants (Q30G, P62R, E85I, D148W and K165L) and multipoint mutants of CMK with higher thermal stability using site-directed mutagenesis. The thermal stability of the mutant Q30G/E85I/K165L was observed to be 1.2-fold higher than that of the wild type. The mutants were then allowed to catalyse 3′-sialyllactose (3′-SL) synthesis. After 51.72 mmol/L N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) was consumed in a 25 mL reaction system and 50.67 mmol/L 3′-SL was obtained, a decrease of 2 h was recorded in the reaction time, whereas the yield rate increased by 33.6%. The results suggest that the mutant Q30G/E85I/K165L can improve the thermal stability of CMK and its catalytic efficiency for 3′-SL synthesis. These findings are crucial for various applications involving enzyme conversion.
