We provide the first comprehensive analysis of changes in the gut bacteriome at different clinical stages of HTLV‐1 infection. HTLV‐1 infection is associated with a dysbiosis that includes reduced bacterial diversity and an inverted Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio.

Flowering conditions affect flower longevity in Syringa vulgaris and cause changes in protein content, protease activity and expression of a KDEL-CysEP gene [PDF]
Forcing is a method that is usually used to induce flowering in plants, independent of the natural blooming period. The temperatures required to start blooming in lilac in November are ca. 37°C causing degeneration of flowers.

Substrate specificity and the effect of calcium on Trypanosomabrucei metacaspase 2 [PDF]
Metacaspases are cysteine peptidases found only in yeast, plants and lower eukaryotes, including the protozoa. To investigate the extended substrate specificity and effects of Ca<sup>2+</sup> on the activation of these enzymes, detailed ...

Enzyme contribution of non-Saccharomyces yeasts to wine production [PDF]
The fermentation of grape must to produce wine is a biologically complex process, carried on by yeasts and malolactic bacteria. The yeasts present in spontaneous fermentation may be divided into two groups, the Saccharomyces yeasts, particularly S ...

The use of Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) peptidesfor measurement of clinically important proteolytic enzymes [PDF]
Proteolytic enzymes have a fundamental role in many biological processes and are associated with multiple pathological conditions. Therefore, targeting these enzymes may be important for a better understanding of their function and development of ...

Genome and secretome analyses provide insights into keratin decomposition by novel proteases from the non-pathogenic fungus Onygena corvina [PDF]
Poultry processing plants and slaughterhouses produce huge quantities of feathers and hair/bristle waste annually. These keratinaceous wastes are highly resistant to degradation.
