A novel GH3-β-glucosidase from soda lake metagenomic libraries with desirable properties for biomass degradation

Scientific Reports
Beta-glucosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds of cellobiose, producing glucose, which is a rate-limiting step in cellulose biomass degradation.

Moderate Phosphorus Addition to Field-Grown Bananas Enhanced Soil Microbial Enzyme Activities but Had Negligible Impacts on Bacterial, Fungal, and Nematode Diversity

Applied Microbiology
On commercial banana (Musa spp.) plantations, soils are often supplemented with phosphorus (P) fertiliser to optimise production. Such additions may influence the diversity and function of soil microbial communities, which play important roles in P ...

The development of type 2 diabetes amongst sibling pairs in the South‐South region of Nigeria: The effect of genetics, environment and lifestyle

Diabetic Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Type 2 diabetes is a complex condition with a multifactorial pathogenesis. The pathogenesis is considered to be polygenic due to complex interactions between genetic/epigenetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study is to determine the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors associated with the development of type 2

Acarbose or Canagliflozin vs. Placebo to Ameliorate Post‐Bariatric Hypoglycaemia: The Clinical Outcomes of the HypoBar I Randomised Clinical Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Treatment options for post‐bariatric hypoglycaemia (PBH) are empirical. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of acarbose and canagliflozin for the treatment of PBH. Materials and Methods We performed a randomised, double‐blinded, cross‐over, placebo‐controlled clinical trial where placebo, acarbose 50 mg thrice daily, and ...

Dementia Risk in Type 1 and 2 Diabetes: A Nationwide Population‐Based Comparison

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Diabetes is increasingly recognised as a major contributor to cognitive decline and dementia, but the risk varies by diabetes type and treatment intensity. We compared the risk of all‐cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) among individuals with and without diabetes.

Discovery of a cryptic aminoacidic triad involved in the temperature adaptation of GH1 enzymes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cold‐active enzymes retain high catalytic activity at low temperatures but are characterized by thermal instability, a behavior not fully understood. Comparison between a cold‐active GH1 and its mesophilic counterparts highlights the role of a three‐residue motif (W‐M‐F) in conferring structural stability to a mesophilic GH1.
