Construction of a co-reaction system for ethanol-promoted gamma-aminobutyric acid synthesis by Pediococcus pentosaceus.
Article in Amino acids, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The biotransformation of L-glutamic acid (L-Glu) to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) using glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) in microbial whole cells represents an ideal approach for biosynthesis of food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade GABA. To overcome the cell membrane barrier, enhance mass transfer efficiency in the whole-cell reaction system, and improve GABA biosynthesis efficiency, we established a novel ethanol-enhanced whole-cell biocatalytic co-reaction system through systematic investigations on the enzymatic characteristics of GAD in Pediococcus pentosaceus whole cells and the regulatory effects mediated by ethanol. The results showed that the optimal reaction pH and temperature for GAD in P. pentosaceus whole cells were 4.2 and 32 °C, respectively. A 7.5% (v/v) ethanol concentration significantly promoted the activity of whole-cell GAD, but reduced its stability. Through orthogonal test optimization, the optimal reaction conditions for ethanol-promoted GABA synthesis via P. pentosaceus whole-cell transformation were as follows: mixing 0.3 M monosodium glutamate (MSG) solution with 100 mg/ml cell suspension at a 1:1 volume ratio, adding 40 g/l of L-Glu/MSG (2:1) solid mixture, adjusting the final ethanol concentration to 3.75% (v/v), reacting at pH 4.2, 28 °C for 40 h. Under these conditions, the GABA yield reached 366.07 ± 5.57 mM, which was 21.44 ± 1.85% higher than that of the control group without ethanol. As an enhancer, ethanol demonstrates great application potential in GABA production via whole-cell transformation due to its high safety and ease of use.
