Isolation and Identification of β-Glucosidases-Producing Non-Saccharomyces Yeast Strains and Its Influence on the Aroma of Fermented Mango Juice

Molecules, 2023
The cultivation and enrichment of different soils in a vineyard yielded 95 yeast species. Among them, seven strains capable of producing β-glucosidases were identified using the aescin colorimetric method.

When substrate inhibits and inhibitor activates: implications of β-glucosidases

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Backgroundβ-glucosidases (BGs) catalyze the hydrolysis of β-glycosidic bonds in glucose derivatives. They constitute an important group of enzymes with biotechnological interest like supporting cellulases in degradation of lignocellulose to fermentable ...

Glucosylated cholesterol in mammalian cells and tissues: formation and degradation by multiple cellular β-glucosidases[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
The membrane lipid glucosylceramide (GlcCer) is continuously formed and degraded. Cells express two GlcCer-degrading β-glucosidases, glucocerebrosidase (GBA) and GBA2, located in and outside the lysosome, respectively.

Abiotic Factors and Plant Communities Shape the Distribution of Soil Pathogenic Oomycetes in Chinese Grasslands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The continental‐scale study reveals that soil phosphorus strongly predicts the richness of soil pathogenic oomycetes in Chinese grasslands, while precipitation and plant species richness drive their absolute abundance; modeling predicts ≈42% of grassland areas may face elevated oomycete disease risk under future climate scenarios, especially in typical

Impact of Virus‐Mediated Modifications in Bacterial Communities on the Accumulation of Soil Organic Carbon

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study illustrates the impact of viruses on carbon cycling in soils with different availabilities of carbon. In conditions of low carbon availability, viruses adopt a lysogenic lifestyle, integrate into the host genomes and facilitate the degradation of carbon.

Novel Sulfonylhydrazones With Sulfonate Ester Framework: Promising Dual Inhibitors of AChE and hCAs

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Treatment strategies for AD vary depending on cognitive and behavioral symptoms, with cholinergic replacement therapy using acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors being one of the primary approaches.
