Abstract Bacillus velezensis strain DMB07, isolated from the traditional fermented Korean soybean meju, exhibits resistance to streptomycin [minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 128 mg/L]. To shed light on the genetic background behind this phenotype, this study determined the complete genome sequence of strain DMB07 and compared it with the genomes of two B. velezensis strains that are sensitive to streptomycin.

1. Introduction The genus Leuconostoc, belonging to the order Lactobacillales, exhibits high morphological and physiological homogeneity []. Meanwhile, Leuconostoc citreum displays the significant characteristic of not metabolizing lactose [] and demonstrates negative activities for α- and β-galactosidase and β-xylosidase. In contrast, L. mesenteroides, a representative species of the genus Leuconostoc, exhibits this activity []. L. citreum was originally isolated as a L. mesenteroides subsp.

Abstract Palmitic acid (PA) is the most common fatty acid in humans and mediates palmitoylation through its conversion into palmitoyl coenzyme A. Although palmitoylation affects many proteins, its pathophysiological functions are only partially understood. Here we demonstrate that PA acts as a molecular checkpoint of lipid reprogramming in HepG2 and Hep3B cells.
