Actinorhodin Biosynthesis Terminates with an Unprecedented Biaryl Coupling Reaction
The last dimerization step of actinorhodin (ACT) biosynthesis was established through biochemical studies. ActVA‐ORF4 is a unique NAD(P)H‐dependent enzyme that catalyzes the biaryl‐coupling reaction using 8‐hydroxydihydrokalafungin (DHK‐OH) as the sole substrate. ActVA‐ORF3 is a quinone‐forming enzyme that forms DHK‐OH and ACT.

Temporal Dynamics of Microbial Communities in Anaerobic Digestion: Influence of Temperature and Feedstock Composition on Reactor Performance and Stability [PDF]
Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers a sustainable biotechnology to recover resources from carbon-rich wastewater, such as food-processing wastewater. Despite crude wastewater characterisation, the impact of detailed chemical fingerprinting on AD remains underexplored.

An engineered Escherichia coli is developed to efficiently produce adipic acid (AA) from cyclohexanol, KA oil (a mixture of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone), or cyclohexane through a combination of enzyme screening, protein fusion, and genome editing techniques. This approach has achieved the highest recorded productivity for biological AA production to

This study presents a novel polyphenol‐nanozyme‐armored probiotic system (ECA@EcN) for enhanced treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). By integrating chitosan‐modified epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG‐CS) with gold nanozymes, the system effectively scavenges ROS, improves probiotic viability, and restores gut microbiota balance.

Cultivating Precision: Comparative Analysis of Sensor-Based Yogurt Fermentation Monitoring Techniques [PDF]
Fermented dairy products, including yogurt, are widely consumed for their nutritional and health benefits. While numerous methods exist to monitor and understand yogurt fermentation, the literature lacks an integrated evaluation of diverse sensing approaches within a single experimental framework. To address this gap, this study systematically examines

High Fat Low Carbohydrate Diet Is Linked to CNS Autoimmunity Protection
Mapping global epidemiological data to macronutrient supply reveals high carbohydrate, in contrast to high fat supply, associates with increased multiple sclerosis (MS) prevalence and incidence. This is confirmed in a mouse MS model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), using isocaloric diets: a high carbohydrate diet aggravates, a high ...

Cell Sizes Matter for Industrial Bioproduction, a Case of Polyhydroxybutyrate
Most bacterial cells are small, restricting the accumulation of intracellular products like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). To solve this problem, the ClpXP system in Halomonas bluephagenesis is identified and redesigned. Then MreB is degraded progressively by this engineered system, expanding cell size more than nine times.

Advances in Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Gut Dysbiosis‐Related Diseases
This article reviews the use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to treat intestinal diseases like recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It discusses FMT's efficacy, influencing factors such as donor selection, recipient characteristics, and treatment protocols ...
