Mechanism by Which Laser Irradiation Combined with Spirulina platensis Enhances FeSO4-Induced Ferroptosis in Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes by SUN Jinyue, PAN Jianeng, CHEN Yiying, LIU Rencheng, ZHOU Wenwen

“…Additionally, the Fe + SP + L treatment led to increased lipid peroxidation and ROS production and decreased proportion of GSH, thereby damaging the integrity of the cell membrane, increasing the permeability of the cell membrane, decreasing the membrane potential, increasing the leakage of intracellular nucleic acids and proteins, and ultimately resulting in the death of bacteria. In addition, the biofilm inhibition and inactivation experiments showed that the 4 mmol/L Fe + SP + L treatment had an excellent antibiofilm capacity. …”

Bacterial communities of diverse Drosophila species: ecological context of a host-microbe model system. by James Angus Chandler, Jenna Morgan Lang, Srijak Bhatnagar, Jonathan A Eisen, Artyom Kopp

“…Despite this, the internal bacterial microbiome represents only a highly reduced subset of the external bacterial communities, suggesting that the host exercises some level of control over the bacteria that inhabit its digestive tract. Finally, we show that laboratory strains provide only a limited model of natural host-microbe interactions. …”
