Advances in Aureobasidium research: Paving the path to industrial utilization
Microbial 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
Microbial 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,

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal ChemistryGH31 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 ...
