Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Chemo‐Enzymatic Route for Covalent Cellulose Fiber Dyeing

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This work presents a proof of concept for a chemo‐enzymatic approach to the covalent dyeing of cotton fibers. Laccase/TEMPO oxidation introduces aldehyde groups, enabling subsequent reductive amination with amino dyes. Excellent color homogeneity and wash fastness were demonstrated using acid red 33, highlighting the robustness of the approach and its ...

Genetic benefits of female from extra-pair paternity are context dependent within the socially monogamous Tree Sparrow

Avian Research
Females actively seek extra-pair paternity (EPP) to acquire a fitness advantage for their offspring. The “context-dependence hypothesis” posits that female extra-pair mate choice has plasticity in response to environmental conditions, and therefore ...

Metagenomic insights into the development of microbial communities of straw and leaf composts

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionSoil microbiome is a major source of physiologically active microorganisms, which can be potentially mobilized by adding various nutrients. To study this process, a long-term experiment was conducted on the decomposition of oat straw and leaf

Investigation of microalgal tolerance and growth in simulated tailings pond water containing naphthenic acids

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil sands tailings ponds, such as those in northeastern Alberta, present environmental challenges due to slow sedimentation, water entrapment, and toxic naphthenic acids (NAs), which hinder water reclamation. This study assessed the tolerance and biodegradation potential of Chlorella vulgaris (C.
