Microencapsulation of Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus subtilis using baker’s yeast cell wall: characterization and stability assessment under stress conditions Saima Rehman, Adnan Hussain Gora, Qurat ul Ain, Shahina Muhammed, Brijit Xavier K., N. K. Sanil, Krupesha Sharma S. R., Kajal Chakraborty Frontiers in Microbiology, 2026 Yeast cell wall components, being natural, biodegradable, and generally recognized as safe, offer a promising alternative to synthetic encapsulants for probiotic delivery. This study aimed to evaluate baker’s yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) cell wall as an encapsulant for improving the stability and gastrointestinal survivability of probiotics. Two probiotic strains with complementary functional traits were selected: Lactobacillus plantarum (a non-spore-forming lactic acid bacterium sensitive to gastric stress) and Bacillus subtilis (a spore-forming, robust probiotic widely used in feed and pharmaceutical applications). Probiotic cells (≈10 8 –10 9 colony forming unit mL –1 ) were encapsulated within hollow yeast cell wall particles obtained via sequential acid-alkali treatment. Encapsulation efficiency, particle size, surface charge, structural integrity, and probiotic survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions were evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a porous, honeycomb-like yeast cell wall structure (3–6 μm) facilitating probiotic encapsulation. FTIR analysis confirmed the successful encapsulation of Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus plantarum within the yeast cell wall matrix. Spectral changes indicated that encapsulation was driven primarily by non-covalent interactions, dominated by hydrogen bonding between yeast β-glucan hydroxyl groups and probiotic surface biomolecules. Dynamic light scattering showed a narrow and uniform size distribution of unloaded yeast cell wall (D50 = 0.63 μm; span = 0.42), while microencapsulation increased particle size, yielding a relatively uniform distributions for B. subtilis (D50 = 0.89 μm; span = 0.79) and a moderately polydisperse profile for L. plantarum (D50 = 1.67 μm, span = 1.28). Zeta potential values shifted from −16.4 ± 0.53 mV (unloaded yeast cell wall) to −32.73 ± 1.39 mV ( B. subtilis ) and −30.36 ± 0.42 mV ( L. plantarum ), indicating enhanced colloidal stability ( p < 0.05). Encapsulation efficiencies were 89.6% ± 3.19% ( B. subtilis ) and 86.57% ± 1.50% ( L. plantarum ), significantly higher than their non-encapsulated counterparts (75.0% ± 2.26% and 40.6% ± 16.3%, respectively; p < 0.05). Encapsulated probiotics exhibited significantly improved survival in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids compared with free cells ( p < 0.05). Baker’s yeast cell wall-based encapsulation significantly enhances probiotic stability, colloidal behavior, and gastrointestinal tolerance through strain-specific physicochemical interactions. This approach offers a safe and effective delivery platform for functional feed and pharmaceutical applications.
Molecular adaptations of the estuarine fish Etroplus suratensis in response to salinity fluctuations M. A. Pradeep, Saima Rehman, Irine Maria Jose, T. V. Arun Kumar, Vinaya Kumar Katneni, Adnan Hussain Gora, N. R. Dhanutha, Ashok Kumar Jangam, T. S. Azhar Shahansha, K. K. Vijayan Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026 Climate-driven shifts in salinity regimes pose significant challenges to aquatic organisms, particularly those inhabiting dynamic coastal ecosystems. Etroplus suratensis (Pearl spot), a euryhaline cichlid capable of thriving across fresh, brackish, and marine environments, offers an excellent model for understanding molecular strategies underpinning salinity acclimation. This study investigated the transcriptomic reprogramming in the gills of fish acclimated for 21 days to freshwater (0‰), brackish water (18‰), and marine water (36‰) conditions. Freshwater exposure elicited a coordinated metabolic response characterized by activation of mitochondrial energy pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport, to support ATP-intensive ion uptake, alongside enhanced ion transport functions and epithelial remodeling. In contrast, marine water exposure triggered a more pronounced osmoregulatory shift, with activation of calcium-dependent exocytosis and vesicular trafficking pathways central to maintaining ion balance under high salinity. However, prolonged marine water exposure also led to suppression of key antioxidant and immune pathways, revealing a potential trade-off whereby resources are redirected toward ion regulation at the expense of physiological defense mechanisms. Concurrent enrichment of cortisol synthesis, autophagy, apoptosis, and other stress-responsive pathways further reflects cellular remodeling and adaptive stress management under salinity stress. Collectively, these results demonstrate the remarkable metabolic plasticity and molecular resilience of E. suratensis , highlighting its capacity to deploy distinct, context-dependent mechanisms to maintain homeostasis across fluctuating salinity environments.
Salinity-induced modulation of hepatic morphology, enzymatic responses, muscle fatty acid composition, and gene expression in the euryhaline teleost Oryzias dancena Mariselvammurugan A, Chandrasekar Selvam, Tari Tejas Santosh, Kamini Jothi Sri N, Linga Prabu D, Sanal Ebeneezar, Adnan H. Gora, Sayooj P, Ambarish P. Gop, Tejpal C. S, Chiranjiv Pradhan, Kajal Chakraborty Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026 Salinity strongly influences osmoregulation energy metabolism, and physiological performance in euryhaline fishes. The marine medaka, Oryzias dancena is an emerging model for investigating the molecular and physiological basis of salinity adaptation. Here, fish were exposed to hypo- (5 ppt), near-isoosmotic (23 ppt), and hyperosmotic (35 ppt) salinities, and assessed integrated physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses. Hepatic histology showed pronounced vacuolization at 5 and 35 ppt, whereas 23 ppt supported more uniform hepatocellular morphology. Whole-body digestive and antioxidant enzymes exhibited salinity-dependent modulation, with elevated protease and SOD activity at 5 ppt and higher lipase activity at 23 ppt. Gene expression analysis showed upregulation of nka under salinity extremes, while lipid oxidation genes ( ppar-δ , cpt1 ) peaked at 23 ppt, indicating a trade-off between osmoregulatory demand and lipid catabolism. Muscle fatty acid composition remained largely conserved; however, hyperosmotic stress (35 ppt) caused a significant decline in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), together with a concomitant increase in monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly palmitoleic acid (16:1), indicating selective changes in membrane lipid composition under high salinity. Although hepatic fatty acid composition was not measured in this study, the combined evidence from hepatocellular morphology and lipid metabolic gene expression provides clear indications of salinity-dependent shifts in hepatic lipid handling. Collectively, this study provides foundational insight into the osmoregulatory and metabolic strategies of O. dancena , establishing its value as a tractable marine model for integrative studies on salinity adaptation.
A review on metallothionein research in marine and estuarine realms: past paradigms and future vistas Adnan H. Gora, M. P. Sreeram, Saima Rehman, Qurat Ul Ain, Kajal Chakraborty, D. Prema, R. Lavanya, Prabhugouda Siriyappagouder, P. S. Asha Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025 Oceans and coastal waters, vital for human survival and climate regulation, are increasingly threatened by heavy metal pollution due to human activities including industrialization and urbanization. Heavy metals including tin, zinc, mercury, copper, nickel, cadmium, cobalt, vanadium, strontium, titanium, arsenic, lead, molybdenum, and chromium are persistent pollutants that can accumulate in marine organisms, posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health. While some heavy metals are essential in trace amounts, they can exert undesirable biological effects at higher concentrations and even become toxic. In response to such toxic exposure, terrestrial and aquatic plants and animals are known to have evolved inherent mechanisms to subdue heavy metal toxicity. These responses often involve the activation of various stress-related proteins, including heat shock proteins, antioxidant enzymes, and metal-binding molecules that work collectively to restore cellular homeostasis. One of the mechanisms to mitigate metal toxicity is through the activity of metallothionein proteins. Metallothioneins, low molecular weight, cysteine-rich proteins, play a crucial role in mitigating the toxic effects of heavy metals. These proteins bind heavy metals, aiding in detoxification, protecting the cells from their undesirable effects, and maintaining metal homeostasis. Thus, metallothionein expression and activity also serve as valuable biomarkers for assessing heavy metal pollution, providing insights into the biological impact of these contaminants. The present review explores the role of bacterial metallothioneins in detoxification and their potential in environmental risk assessment, focusing on their importance in marine species exposed to heavy metal pollution. We explore the studies that report heavy metal contamination in the coastal waters, followed by elucidating the effects of heavy metal exposure on metallothionein activity and expression in marine fish, crustaceans and mollusks. Finally, we provide possible future perspectives of how bacterial metallothioneins can be employed for mitigating ecological damage caused by heavy metals. By understanding the interactions between heavy metals and metallothioneins, we can develop more effective strategies for monitoring and mitigating the effects of heavy metal contamination in marine environments.
Mixture toxicity of 6PPD-quinone and polystyrene nanoplastics in zebrafish Shubham Varshney, Olivia L. O'Connor, Adnan Hussain Gora, Saima Rehman, Viswanath Kiron, Prabhugouda Siriyappagouder, Dalia Dahle, Tanja Kögel, Robin Ørnsrud, Pål A. Olsvik Environmental Pollution, 2024 Plastic pollution, including micro- and nanoplastics, is a growing concern. Tyre-wear particles (TWPs) are the second largest source of microplastics in the ocean following abrasion of synthetic fibres. In addition to the particles themselves, TWPs contain many harmful chemicals, including 6PPD. This chemical reacts with atmospheric ozone and forms the toxic compound 6PPD-quinone (6PPDq), which poses a danger to aquatic life. There is a knowledge gap in understanding risks associated with the combined toxicity of nanoplastics (NPs) and 6PPDq. The present study aimed to investigate the toxicity of NPs and 6PPDq on adult zebrafish using phenotypic (behaviour, histology) and transcriptomic endpoints. Zebrafish were exposed to four treatments: control (contaminant-free), 50 μg/L 6PPDq, 3 mg/L polystyrene (PS)-NPs, and a combination of 50 μg/L 6PPDq and 3 mg/L PS-NPs. We did not observe locomotory dysregulation in zebrafish exposed to NPs. However, we found significant hyperlocomotion in zebrafish exposed to 6PPDq and this effect was even more substantial after co-exposure with PS-NPs. This study explores the molecular mechanisms behind these effects, identifying genes associated with neurotransmitters and fatty acid metabolism that were dysregulated by the co-exposure. Transcriptomic analysis further showed that both 6PPDq and PS-NPs impacted cellular processes associated with sterol biosynthesis, cholesterol metabolism, and muscle tissue development. The effects on these mechanisms were stronger in co-exposed zebrafish, indicating a heightened risk to cellular integrity and mitochondrial dysfunction. These results highlight the significance of mixture toxicity when studying the effects of NPs and associated chemicals like 6PPDq.
Fish as the lesser-known counterpart to mammalian models to explore the biofunctionality of polyphenols Yousri Abdelhafiz, Adnan Hussain Gora, Saima Rehman, Soumitra Chowdhury, Youngjin Park, Saraswathy Bisa, Viviane Verlhac Trichet, Jorge M.O. Fernandes, Mette Sørensen, Viswanath Kiron Journal of Functional Foods, 2023 Dietary polyphenols improve gut health either through their direct effects on the intestinal barrier and antioxidant and immune systems of the host or through the action of metabolites produced by the microbiota. We have focused on phenolic acids like gallic acid and curcumin, stilbenes like resveratrol, and flavonoids such as quercetin, daidzein, and anthocyanins that can chelate metals and scavenge free radicals to prevent or treat intestinal inflammation and brain disorders. Although polyphenols undergo both phase I and II metabolisms, only a tiny fraction of the catabolites is bioavailable. The gut microbiota catabolizes these compounds to produce beneficial metabolites for the host. Fish can be suitable models for obtaining in-depth knowledge about the absorption and metabolism of polyphenols, and their breakdown by the gut microbiota. Gathering such knowledge along with their effects on the immune system could reveal the effectiveness of bioactive compounds like polyphenols in tackling intestine and brain disorders.
Polystyrene nanoplastics enhance the toxicological effects of DDE in zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae Shubham Varshney, Adnan H. Gora, Viswanath Kiron, Prabhugouda Siriyappagouder, Dalia Dahle, Tanja Kögel, Robin Ørnsrud, Pål A. Olsvik Science of the Total Environment, 2023 Anthropogenic releases of plastics, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and heavy metals can impact the environment, including aquatic ecosystems. Nanoplastics (NPs) have recently emerged as pervasive environmental pollutants that have the ability to adsorb POPs and can cause stress in organisms. Among POPs, DDT and its metabolites are ubiquitous environmental pollutants due to their long persistence. Despite the discontinued use of DDT in Europe, DDT and its metabolites (primarily p,p'-DDE) are still found at detectable levels in fish feed used in salmon aquaculture. Our study aimed to look at the individual and combined toxicity of NPs (50 mg/L polystyrene) and DDE (100 μg/L) using zebrafish larvae as a model. We found no significant morphological, cardiac, respiratory, or behavioural changes in zebrafish larvae exposed to NPs alone. Conversely, morphological, cardiac and respiratory alterations were observed in zebrafish larvae exposed to DDE and NPs + DDE. Interestingly, behavioural changes were only observed in zebrafish larvae exposed to NPs + DDE. These findings were supported by RNA-seq results, which showed that some cardiac, vascular, and immunogenic pathways were downregulated only in zebrafish larvae exposed to NPs + DDE. In summary, we found an enhanced toxicological impact of DDE when combined with NPs.
Protective mechanisms of a microbial oil against hypercholesterolemia: evidence from a zebrafish model Adnan H. Gora, Saima Rehman, Jorge Dias, Jorge M. O. Fernandes, Pål A. Olsvik, Mette Sørensen, Viswanath Kiron Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 A Western diet elevates the circulating lipoprotein and triglyceride levels which are the major risk factors in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Consumption of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids can stall the disease progression. Although these fatty acids can significantly impact the intestine under a hypercholesterolemic condition, the associated changes have not been studied in detail. Therefore, we investigated the alterations in the intestinal transcriptome along with the deviations in the plasma lipids and liver histomorphology of zebrafish offered DHA- and EPA-rich oil. Fish were allocated to 4 dietary treatments: a control group, a high cholesterol group and microbial oil groups with low (3.3%) and high (6.6%) inclusion levels. We quantified the total cholesterol, lipoprotein and triglyceride levels in the plasma. In addition, we assessed the liver histology, intestinal transcriptome and plasma lipidomic profiles of the study groups. The results suggested that higher levels of dietary microbial oil could control the CVD risk factor indices in zebrafish plasma. Furthermore, microbial oil-fed fish had fewer liver vacuoles and higher mRNA levels of genes involved in β-oxidation and HDL maturation. Analyses of the intestine transcriptome revealed that microbial oil supplementation could influence the expression of genes altered by a hypercholesterolemic diet. The plasma lipidomic profiles revealed that the higher level of microbial oil tested could elevate the long-chain poly-unsaturated fatty acid content of triglyceride species and lower the concentration of several lysophosphatidylcholine and diacylglycerol molecules. Our study provides insights into the effectiveness of microbial oil against dyslipidemia in zebrafish.
