Esterase EstK from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 : an enantioselective acetylesterase with activity for deacetylation of xylan and poly(vinylacetate) [PDF]
An extracellular esterase gene estK was identified in Pseudomonas putida mt-2, and was overexpressed to high levels in Escherichia coli. The recombinant EstK enzyme was purified and characterised kinetically against p-nitrophenyl ester and other aryl ...

Dual‐emission carbon dot nanozymes are synthesized via microwave method. The nanozymes enhance photosynthesis corn seedlings through spectral‐matched light conversion. Their superoxide dismutase‐mimetic activity scavenges salt stress‐induced reactive oxygen species and circumvents energy‐intensive stress responses.

Evolution of novel wood decay mechanisms in Agaricales revealed by the genome sequences of Fistulina hepatica and Cylindrobasidium torrendii [PDF]
Wood decay mechanisms in Agaricomycotina have been traditionally separated in two categories termed white and brown rot. Recently the accuracy of such a dichotomy has been questioned.

An integrative analysis combining in vitro genome‐wide immune screens, in vivo ICB screens, and clinical data mining identifies METTL5 as a key tumor‐intrinsic immune factor. Mechanistic studies further reveal the importance of the METTL5‐ATF4‐SLC7A11/SLC3A2‐ferroptosis axis in modulating antitumor immune responses. These findings highlight METTL5 as a

ABSTRACT Background: This study aims to identify genes with a high likelihood of genetic variation, significant expression differences, and prognostic implications in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The research also seeks to investigate the role and mechanisms of key genes in CRC through the analysis of health information data and a combination of ...

Multi-omic Analyses of Extensively Decayed Pinus contorta Reveal Expression of a Diverse Array of Lignocellulose-Degrading Enzymes. [PDF]
Fungi play a key role cycling nutrients in forest ecosystems, but the mechanisms remain uncertain. To clarify the enzymatic processes involved in wood decomposition, the metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics of extensively decayed lodgepole pine were ...

Biodegradation of textile azo dyes by a facultative Staphylococcus arlettae strain VN-11 using a sequential microaerophilic/aerobic process [PDF]
A facultative Staphylococcus arlettae bacterium, isolated from an activated sludge process in a textile industry, was able to successfully decolourize four different azo dyes under microaerophilic conditions (decolourization percentage >97%).
