The diversity of PET degrading enzymes: A systematic review of sequence, structure, and function
Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most significant plastic pollutants. Unlike other plastic polymers, PET can be degraded by PET‐hydrolytic enzymes (PETases). Over the past two decades, numerous publications have reported the discovery, characterization, and engineering of PETases.

Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

This study revealed spatio‐temporal characteristics of gastrointestinal resistome in a cow‐to‐calf model and the pattern of their spread to the environment and offspring in the dairy production system. The gastrointestinal tract of dairy cows is a natural reservoir of resistomes and distinguished by gut sites and regions.

Cellulosome-forming Modules in Gut Microbiome and Virome
Cellulosomes are large multi-enzyme complexes encoded in the genomes of some microorganisms. Cellulosomes can degrade plant cell wall celluloses, commonly found in compost soils, forest floors and dietary fibers of farm animals.

Grape Stalks Valorization towards Circular Economy: A Cascade Biorefinery Strategy
A cascade protocol for grape stalks valorization has been proposed, characterized by a multidisciplinary strategy using unconventional techniques and subcritical water as a green solvent, where physical/chemical treatments synergistically interact with biological treatments to obtain added value products from all the biomass components.

Magnetizing Biotech–Advances in (In Vivo) Magnetic Enzyme Immobilization
ABSTRACT Industrial biocatalysis, a multibillion dollar industry, relies on the selectivity and efficacy of enzymes for efficient chemical transformations. However, enzymes, evolutionary adapted to mild biological conditions, often struggle in industrial processes that require harsh reaction conditions, resulting in reduced stability and activity ...
