Biodegradation of Juglone by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis, the Causal Agent of Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Bacterial Blight

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis is the causal agent of walnut blight, a disease affecting Juglans regia L. cultivations by causing severe economic losses worldwide. The content of phenolic compounds in J. regia cultivars plays an important role in determining the resistance or susceptibility to the infection. In this study, the assessment

Chitosanase may enhance anti-fungal defense responses in transgenic tobacco [PDF]

, 2003
Chitosanase is an enzyme, similar to chitinase, capable of hydrolyzing the β-1,4-linkages between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine residues in partially acetylated chitosan polymers found in fungal cell walls.

Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

Biochemical Characterization of Multimodular Xylanolytic Carbohydrate Esterases from the Marine Bacterium Flavimarina sp. Hel_I_48

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Multimodular carbohydrate‐active enzymes often combine different catalytic activities for efficient polysaccharide degradation. In this work, the structural and functional characterization of three multimodular xylan‐targeting esterases, Fl6, Fll1 and Fll4 from Flavimarina sp. Hel_I_48, are presented.

Mining Thermophile Genomes for New PETases with Exceptional Thermostabilities Using Sequence Similarity Networks

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Targeted genome mining identified thermostable enzymes (PETases) that hydrolyze the commonly used plastic polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thermostable enzymes are identified from thermophilic microbial sources. Experimental results reveal enzymatic activity on authentic PET films, highlighting potential for industrial application.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Pseudoglucosinolates Releasing Isothiocyanates in the Presence of Azoreductases

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
An expansion of the concept of pseudoglucosinolates (psGSLs) is reported introducing the first azoreductase‐responsive psGSL‐based probe releasing an isothiocyanate under simultaneous fluorescence turn‐on in the presence of AzoR, an azoreductase from Escherichia coli.
