Engineering of Cyclodextrin Product Specificity and pH Optima of the Thermostable Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 [PDF]
The product specificity and pH optimum of the thermostable cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 was engineered using a combination of x-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis.

Biochemical characterization of α-amylases from gut and hemolymph of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivieri (Col.: Curculionidae) and their inhibition by extracts from the legumes Vigna radiata L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. [PDF]
α-amylase inhibitors represent an important tool in engineering crop plants against insect pests. For achieving this goal, it is necessary to find the nature of α-amylases and their properties for possible use in a pest management procedure.

β-amylase production by a novel strain Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1 using commercial and waste substrates [PDF]
Amylases are industrially important enzymes which could convert starch to glucose, maltose and oligosaccharides. A bacterial strain designated as Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1which was isolated from the soil of the coniferous forest, produced β ...

Utilisation of wheat bran as a substrate for bioethanol production using recombinant cellulases and amylolytic yeast [PDF]
Wheat bran, generated from the milling of wheat, represents a promising feedstock for the production of bioethanol. This substrate consists of three main components: starch, hemicellulose and cellulose.

Production of bioethanol from multiple waste streams of rice milling [PDF]
This work describes the feasibility of using rice milling by-products as feedstock for bioethanol. Starch-rich residues (rice bran, broken, unripe and discolored rice) were individually fermented (20% w/v) through Consolidated Bioprocessing by two ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...
