The Effect of Dithionite and its Decomposition Products on Redox Mediators Used in the Cyclic Voltammetry of Nitrogenase Enzymes

ChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 23, December 6, 2024.
Dithionite, used for oxygen scavenging in protein storage buffers for anaerobic enzymes, is redox active in mediated enzyme electrochemistry of nitrogenase. ‘Pseudo’ catalysis is observed in the presence of dithionite which is hard to distinguish from nitrogenase catalysis. The effect is an amplified kobs value when performing foot of the wave analysis

Actinorhizal plants and Frankiaceae: The overlooked future of phytoremediation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Actinorhizal plants, in symbiosis with Frankiaceae bacterial endosymbionts, possess traits beneficial for bioremediation. These plants can thrive in harsh conditions, such as high salinity and metal pollution, with their resilience enhanced by Frankiaceae.

Methodology for Liquid Foam Templating of Hydrogel Foams: A Rheological and Tomographic Characterization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 11, Issue 31, November 5, 2024.
Illustration of the key factors affecting the morphology of alginate foams, together with the techniques used to characterize the influence of those parameters, before, during, and after foaming and solidification. Abstract Hydrogel foams are widely used in many applications such as biomaterials, cosmetics, foods, or agriculture.

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.

Rice Growth in the Shadow of Global Warming: Microbes Shed Light on Alleviating Its Heat Stress

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2024.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of global climate change has led to more frequent extreme high‐temperature events, significantly damaging rice yield and quality, thus posing a threat to global food security. Research indicates that plant‐microbe interactions can enhance plant growth and overall health under adverse conditions.

Formulation challenges associated with microbial biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture and paths forward

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2024.
Overview of the major methodologies involved in the formulation of different microbial inoculants. The processes involved in the formulation of (A) liquid, (B) solid and (C) encapsulated microbial inoculants were explained sequentially. Abstract Sustainable increase in agriculture productivity is confronted by over‐reliance and over‐use of synthetic ...

A deoxyviolacein‐based transposon insertion vector for pigmented tracer studies

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 4, August 2024.
An example experiment using deoxyviolaceint‐based transposon insertion vectors to transfect a target microbe. Differences in pigment production are easily screened for further downstream experiments. Abstract Pigments provide a simple means to rapidly visually ascertain the quantities or presence of specific microbes in a complex community.

Structural and biochemical characterization of an encapsulin‐associated rhodanese from Acinetobacter baumannii

Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Rhodanese‐like domains (RLDs) represent a widespread protein family canonically involved in sulfur transfer reactions between diverse donor and acceptor molecules. RLDs mediate these transsulfuration reactions via a transient persulfide intermediate, created by modifying a conserved cysteine residue in their active sites.

Structural comparison of (hyper‐)thermophilic nitrogenase reductases from three marine Methanococcales

The FEBS Journal, Volume 291, Issue 15, Page 3454-3480, August 2024.
Marine archaea belonging to the Methanococci harbour interesting N2‐fixing enzymes. Here, we studied the protein providing electrons to the nitrogenase (NifH) from three different Methanococci growing at optimal temperatures of 37, 65, and 85 °C. Methanococci NifHs were structurally extremely similar to the bacterial reductase from A. vinelandii. While
