Current perspectives for microbial lipases from extremophiles and metagenomics.
Biochimie, 2021 Microbial lipases are most broadly used biocatalysts for environmental and industrial applications. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis and synthesis of long acyl chain esters and have a characteristic folding pattern of α/β hydrolase with highly conserved ...

Amylomaltases in Extremophilic Microorganisms [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 Amylomaltases (4-α-glucanotransferases, E.C. 2.4.1.25) are enzymes which can perform a double-step catalytic process, resulting in a transglycosylation reaction. They hydrolyse glucosidic bonds of α-1,4′-d-glucans and transfer the glucan portion with the newly available anomeric carbon to the 4′-position of an α-1,4′-d-glucan acceptor.

Extremophilic and extremotolerant fungi
Current Biology, 2023 There are few places on Earth that are truly aseptic. Even environments that we may consider 'extreme', such as glaciers, deserts, or hypersaline bodies of water (Figure 1), can harbour life. The organisms that thrive in such environments - mostly microbes - are often referred to as 'extremophiles'.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) toward cost competitiveness and functionality
Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research, 2020 Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have been produced by several bacteria as bioplastics in industrial scales. PHA commercialization has been challenging due to its complexity and the associated high cost together with instabilities on molecular weights (Mw ...
