Saccharomyces cerevisiae sub-species diastaticus (S. USP25/28 inhibitor AZ1 order diastaticus) is the main fungal cause of spoilage of carbonated fermented beverages in the brewing industry. Here, prevalence of S. diastaticus in nature and breweries was assessed as well as the spoilage capacity of its vegetative cells and spores. S. diastaticus could only be enriched from 1 out of 136 bark and soil samples from the Netherlands, being the first described natural isolate of this yeast outside South America. On the other hand, it was identified by PCR and selective enrichment in 25 and 21 out of 54 biofilm samples from beer filling halls in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America. ITS sequencing revealed that S. cerevisiae (including S. diastaticus) represented less then 0.05% of fungal DNA in 17 out of 20 samples, while it represented 0.1, 2 and 32% in samples VH6, VH1 and VH3 respectively. Next, vegetative cells and ascospores of the natural S. diastaticus isolate MB523 were inoculated in a variety of beer products containing 0.0-5.0% alcohol (v/v). Ascospores spoiled all beer products, while vegetative cells did not grow in Radler lemon 0.0, Radler lime mint 0.0 and Radler lemon lime 0.0. Notably, vegetative cells could spoil these Radlers when they first had been grown in alcohol free beer either or not mixed with Radler lemon lime 0.0. Conversely, vegetative cells that had been grown in Radler lemon lime lost their spoilage potential of this beer product when they had grown in YPD medium for more than 24 h. In addition, it was shown that cells grown in alcohol free beer were more heat resistant than cells grown in YPD (D52 40 min and ≤ 10.3 min, respectively). Together, these data show that S. diastaticus is a less prevalent variant of S. cerevisiae in nature, while it accumulates in breweries in mixed biofilms. Data also show that both vegetative cells and spores can spoil all tested beer products, the latter cell type irrespective of its environmental history.Aroma is an essential trait in melon fruit quality, but its complexity and genetic basis are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) biosynthesis in melon rind and flesh, using a Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) population from the cross 'Piel de Sapo' (PS) × 'Védrantais' (VED), two commercial varieties segregating for ripening behavior. A total of 82 VOCs were detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and 166 QTLs were identified. The main QTL cluster was on chromosome 8, collocating with the previously described ripening-related QTL ETHQV8.1, with an important role in VOCs biosynthesis. QTL clusters involved in esters, lipid-derived volatiles and apocarotenoids were also identified, and candidate genes have been proposed for ethyl 3-(methylthio)propanoate and benzaldehyde biosynthesis. Our results provide genetic insights for deciphering fruit aroma in melon and offer new tools for flavor breeding.A QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) based multi-residue method has been developed and validated for the extraction and determination of pesticides in fatty matrices by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Extraction and clean-up were performed according to QuEChERS principles widely used for non-fatty matrices, with main difference, a higher solvent/sample- ratio followed by a 6-fold preconcentration step, ensuring good extractability and sensitivity. A validation according to SANTE guidelines was performed using a olive and sunflower oils mixture 11, w/w as representative matrix, at 2 concentration levels (5 and 50 µg/kg) targeting 176 GC-amenable pesticides. Most compounds fulfilled the validation criteria, with a limit of quantification of 5 µg/kg for 137 compounds , and of 50 µg/kg for 24 compounds. Afterwards, the method performance was tested in six different fatty matrices with 73-90% of the analytes fulfilling the performance criteria at 5 µg/kg depending on the matrix.

Schizophrenia is a serious long-term disorder in which the metabolic complications and abnormalities of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can be found. In this study, we conducted a systematic review of the relationship between BDNF, metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in schizophrenic patients.

Data were collected mainly from PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and ProQuest databases. The keywords related to the BDNF, MetS, schizophrenia were searched. Two reviewers independently screened 1061 abstracts. And eventually, a total of 7 studies (6 observational and 1 interventional) was included in the systematic reviews.

Four of the 7 study ascertained statistically significant inverse relationship between serum BDNF levels and MetS in schizophrenic patients. While in the other two studies, there was no inverse relationship. In the last selected study, the researchers found a weak association between the Val66Met polymorphism in BDNF Gene and clozapine-induced MetS.

Although this relationship could not be determined but BDNF levels appear to be reduced in schizophrenic patients with MetS and factors such as sex and antipsychotic class differentiation, sampling and methodology and episodes of illness could play a role in the results and outcomes.

Young adulthood (18 to 34) is a time of transitional change where individuals can be highly susceptible to mental health concerns. Despite similar vulnerabilities to their adolescent counterparts, the psychological outcomes for young adults following disasters are not well understood.

This scoping review aimed to explore the literature on the psychological outcomes for young adults after disaster events.

A systematic search of the literature was conducted in seven electronic databases, including PsycINFO, Medline, CINAHL, PILOTS, EMBASE, Scopus, and ProQuest dissertations and theses global. In total, 91 reports from 15 countries were included.

Findings suggested that young adults experience a range of psychological consequences after disasters, including posttraumatic stress symptoms, depression, anxiety, and other psychological outcomes, such as general/non-specific psychological distress. Pre-disaster, peri-disaster, and post-disaster factors were also found to influence the degree of psychological outcomes experienced by young adults, including prior psychological functioning and disaster exposure, among a host of other factors.
