Elucidating Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Daphnetin against Pseudomonas fluorescens and Shewanella putrefaciens by Wenru Liu, Jun Mei, Jing Xie

“…The results of intracellular component leakage and cell viability analysis illustrated that daphnetin destroyed the morphology of the cell membrane. According to scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope observations, the treated bacterial cells displayed obvious morphological and ultrastructural changes in the cell membrane of the two tested strains, whichconfirmed daphnetin’s damage to the integrity of the cell membrane. …”

Optimization of osmotic pressure swelling method in the process of hemoglobin extraction from red blood cells by ZHANG Honghui, ZHOU Wentao, HAO Shasha, WANG Hong, LIU Jiaxin, YANG Chengmin, LI Shen, LI Fengjuan

“…[Conclusion] Compared with the original preparation process, the hemoglobin extraction process which optimized through orthogonal experiments greatly reduces the cell membrane fragmentation rate and minimizes the entry of cell membrane matrix into the target solution, ensuring a slightly higher hemoglobin dissolution rate, and reducing the preparation difficulty for the subsequent cell membrane separation and further purification.…”

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. …”

Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench crude extract combined with citric acid inactivates Cronobacter sakazakii isolated from powdered infant formula by Peng Fei, Yaping Yu, Chen Liang, Ruxue Fang, Yujun Jiang, Ling Guo

“…The results of time-kill analysis showed that after combined treatment with 1 MIC of EE and CA (pH 3.0) for 30 min, approximately 8 log cfu/mL of C. sakazakii were inactivated. Cell membrane hyperpolarization, damaged cell membrane integrity, improved cell membrane permeability, decreased bacterial protein and DNA levels, increased and then decreased intracellular ROS contents, and deformed and ruptured cell morphology were found in C. sakazakii treated by EE combined with CA, and these phenomena were more pronounced than in C. sakazakii treated by EE or CA alone. …”
