Warming and Labile Substrate Addition Alter Enzyme Activities and Composition of Soil Organic Carbon
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Warming can increase the efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soils and can potentially feedback to climate change. In addition to warming, the input of labile carbon can enhance the microbial activity by stimulating the co-metabolism of recalcitrant soil

Polymer International, EarlyView.Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Diversity of cutinases from plant pathogenic fungi: differential and sequential expression of cutinolytic esterases by Alternaria brassicicola [PDF]
, 2017 Plant cuticles provide a protective layer that has to be penetrated by fungal pathogens. Evidence is provided for a differential and sequential induction of two classes of cutinolytic esterases by Alternaria brassicicola.

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Cutin-derived oligomers induce hallmark plant immune responses [PDF]
Journal of Experimental BotanyAbstract The cuticle constitutes the outermost defensive barrier of most land plants. It comprises a polymeric matrix—cutin, surrounded by soluble waxes. Moreover, the cuticle constitutes the first line of defense against pathogen invasion, while also protecting the plant from many abiotic stresses.
