Study the action of enzyme alginate lyase on plaque forming bacteria (Streptococcus mutans)
Students at Chandigarh University conducted an experiment to investigate the action of alginate lyase against plaque-forming Streptococcus mutans. In the experiment, students made two cultures. The first is a pure culture of Streptococcus mutans, and the

Modeling the architecture of depolymerase-containing receptor binding proteins in Klebsiella phages [PDF]
Klebsiella pneumoniae carries a thick polysaccharide capsule. This highly variable chemical structure plays an important role in its virulence. Many Klebsiella bacteriophages recognize this capsule with a receptor binding protein (RBP) that contains a ...

Sustainable bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites for bone applications: From bench to production
Abstract In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming highly valuable and appealing options in modern society. These strategies have started being applied in biomaterials science, too, leading to the advent of new synergies between ...

Biofuel production based on carbohydrates from both brown and red macroalgae: Recent developments in key biotechnologies. [PDF]
Marine macroalgae (green, red and brown macroalgae) have attracted attention as an alternative source of renewable biomass for producing both fuels and chemicals due to their high content of suitable carbohydrates and to their advantages over terrestrial

Purification and properties of an alginate lyase from a marine bacterium [PDF]
An unidentified pseudomonad isolated by enrichment procedures from decomposing seaweed was grown in defined medium containing sodium alginate as the sole carbon source. The alginate lyase recovered from disrupted bacterial cells was purified by a procedure of (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography.

Chitosan/Phenylalanine (Chitosan/Phe) composite coating markedly enhanced the postharvest stability and biochemical integrity of mandarin fruit. This treatment effectively extended shelf life to 12 days at ambient conditions and 35 days under cold storage, while significantly increasing polyphenolic and flavonoid content and sustaining antioxidant ...

Role of alginate lyase in cell detachment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
The exopolysaccharide alginate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was shown to be important in determining the degree of cell detachment from an agar surface. Nonmucoid strain 8822 gave rise to 50-fold more sloughed cells than mucoid strains 8821 and 8830. Alginate anchors the bacteria to the agar surface, thereby influencing the extent of detachment.
