Extremozymes for bioprocessing [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
For many years, people have been seeking to employ enzymes, proteins that act as biocatalysts, as environmentally friendly replacements for many currently used industrial processes, as well as for the production of fuels and chemicals from biomass ...

Utilization of formic acid by extremely thermoacidophilic archaea species

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2024.
Our work explores formic acid metabolism in extreme microorganisms, novel hosts that hold promise for biomanufacturing distinct products including thermostable enzymes and lipids. We investigated formic acid tolerance and utilization in archaea species within the Sulfolobus genus, and novel bioreactor culturing methods to overcome formic acid toxicity.

Advances in Aureobasidium research: Paving the path to industrial utilization

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2024.
The extremotolerant fungus Aureobasidium chassis can utilize a broad spectrum of substrates to synthesize value‐added products including pullulan, polyol lipids, polymalate, and melanin. We furthermore describe available genetic engineering tools and up‐scaling approaches.

Characterization of an extremophile bacterial acid phosphatase derived from metagenomics analysis

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2024.
Acid phosphatases are enzymes that play a crucial role in the hydrolysis of various organophosphorous molecules. A putative acid phosphatase called FS6 showed high sequence similarity to type C acid phosphatases and retained more than 30% of consensus residues in its protein sequence. A histidine‐tagged recombinant FS6 exhibited extremophile properties,

Exploring Marine Environments for the Identification of Extremophiles and Their Enzymes for Sustainable and Green Bioprocesses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sea environments harbor a wide variety of life forms that have adapted to live in hard and sometimes extreme conditions. Among the marine living organisms, extremophiles represent a group of microorganisms that attract increasing interest in relation to ...

A stable GH31 α-glucosidase as a model system for the study of mutations leading to human glycogen storage disease type II

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry
GH31 glycosidases are widespread across organisms, but remarkably, less than 1% of them have been biochemically characterised to date. Among them, human lysosomal acid α-glucosidase (GAA) stands out due to its link to Pompe disease, a rare lysosomal ...
