Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Cotton and Surgical Face Masks in Community Settings: Bacterial Contamination and Face Mask Hygiene
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 During the current COVID-19 pandemic, the use of face masks has become increasingly recommended and even mandatory in community settings. To evaluate the risk of bacterial cross-contamination, this study analyzed the bacterial bioburden of disposable ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

STUDIES ON BACTERIAL LOAD OF FISH CONTAINER-II
NIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1963 In the previous paper1), the author reported on the invasion of the Takikawa's so-called pathogenic halophilic bacteria into the material of wooden fish container. It was also disclosed that the bacteria might easily migrate into inner part of such rough-grained wooden material as ceder or pine.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

ABLE: An Automated Bacterial Load Estimator for the Urinoculture Screening
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Pattern Recognition Applications and Methods, 2016 Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are very common in women, babies and the elderly. The most frequent cause is a bacterium, called Escherichia Coli, which usually lives in the digestive system and in the bowel. Infections can target the urethra, bladder or kidneys.
