Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Accelerating the prioritisation of plant species with underexplored medicinal potential: The pm4mp (Phylogenetic Methods for Medicinal Plants) R package

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Medicinal plants used in ethnobotanical traditions to treat or prevent diseases have gained renewed interest for their largely untapped potential in drug discovery. In this study, we developed and tested novel methods to prioritise plant species based on their unexplored medicinal potential. By enabling researchers to target the most promising species,

A Scalable Large Language Model‐Aided Approach for Mining Plant‐Compound Pairs From Scientific Literature

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding plant chemicals is vital for medicine and agriculture, but global data remain fragmented and biased. We developed an AI‐powered tool to automatically extract plant‐compound information from scientific literature at scale and low cost. Our analysis revealed significant knowledge gaps, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. By efficiently
