The species Enterococcus lactis is closely related to E. faecium and is known for its beneficial and probiotic effects. In this study, strain RRS4 was isolated from Raphanus sativus Linn. and identified based on both phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Strain RRS4 exhibited cell viability in environments with 2-8% NaCl, pH ranging from 4 to 9, and temperatures between 4°C and 45°C. Through comprehensive genomic analysis, strain RRS4 was confirmed to be E. lactis. E. lactis RRS4 demonstrated inhibitory effects against Vancomycin-resistant E. faecalis JCM 5803. Safety assessments via in silico methods, including KEGG annotation, indicated the absence of virulent and undesirable genes in E. lactis RRS4. VirulenceFinder analysis aligned virulence-related genes with those from three strains of E. lactis and four strains of E. faecium. While antibiotic resistance genes were found to be conserved, they did not correlate with key pathogenicity traits. Furthermore, safety evaluations highlighted that E. lactis RRS4 is generally safe, despite the presence of genes associated with antibiotic resistance. Lastly, we propose guidelines for assessing the safety of microbial strains using whole-genome analysis. These findings represent advancements in probiotic research.

Traditional methods of public relations and learning often lack engagement and fail to provide users with a deep and immersive experience. Additionally, these methods struggle to reach a wide audience, especially those unable to visit the physical location. This project aims to solve the issues of accessibility and awareness regarding the institution’s Chalermphrakiat Hall and historical exhibition. Utilizing metaverse technology to simulate important locations allows users to explore the site and view key information in a virtual format, thereby enhancing the engagement of students staff alumni and the general public. The metaverse system is developed using Unity, a powerful game engine capable of supporting the creation of metaverse environments. This allows for the creation of an interactive and realistic virtual space. Unity also supports the management of physics, lighting, and sound, further enhancing realism. Additionally, the system is integrated with web browsers using WebGL technology, enabling the project developed in Unity to be accessed directly through a browser. Users can visit and interact with the metaverse environment from anywhere without the need to install additional software. The developers have thus created the metaverse system to provide a realistic and engaging learning experience, enhancing public relations efforts and fostering a strong connection with the institution efficiently.

This research aims to select the location of the beverage distribution center of Thai Spirit Industry Co., Ltd. with the lowest total cost of transportation. using a mathematical model by considering the Muang districts of all 76 provinces, excluding Chachoengsao Province, where the factory is located. In the present study, four scenarios were divided: 1) when only one distribution center was required; 2) when more than one distribution center was established; 3) when it was divided into 4 regions. There can only be one distribution center in one region, and 4) when it is divided into four regions, where more than one distribution center can be established in one region. When processed with the program IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio, the results are summarized as follows: Scenario 1, when only one distribution center is assigned. The total transportation cost is 786,107.75 baht/month. Scenario 2, when more than one distribution center can be established. The total transportation cost is 252,338.98 baht/month. Scenario 3, when divided into 4 regions by requiring only one distribution center in one region. The total transportation cost is 401,499.61 baht/month. Scenario 4, when divided into 4 regions by requiring that there is more than one distribution center in each region. The total transportation cost is 258,666.22 baht/month.
