Discovering PETases: An Interlink Between Engineering Enzymes and Microbiomes
In this review‐type article, we discuss some recent trends in the identification of polyethylene terephthalate‐degrading enzymes (PETases) from nature. We highlight that the discovery of novel PETases can be improved by an interlink between reshaping microbiomes and engineering proteins.

Novel Extended Tetraether Lipids Found in a High‐CO2 Geyser
Characterisation of the archaeal lipidome of the CO2‐rich subsurface aquifer of the Geyser Andernach reveals novel extended tetraether lipids analogous to extended archaeols, likely produced by Candidatus Altiarchaeum, and potentially functioning as a membrane adaptation strategy to nutrient‐deprived conditions.

ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Generation of PHB from Spent Sulfite Liquor Using Halophilic Microorganisms
Halophilic microorganisms thrive at elevated concentrations of sodium chloride up to saturation and are capable of growing on a wide variety of carbon sources like various organic acids, hexose and also pentose sugars.

Vibrio alginolyticus NBRC 15630, Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802, Shewanella algae DW01, and Shewanella algae ATCC 51192 bacterial strains were found in the Mud crab brood and egg samples. All isolates were found to be sensitive to cefotaxime, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, and nitrofurantoin antibiotics.

Opsin-Mediated Inhibition of Bacterioruberin Synthesis in Halophilic Archaea. [PDF]
ABSTRACTHalophilic archaea often inhabit environments with limited oxygen, and many produce ion-pumping rhodopsin complexes that allow them to maintain electrochemical gradients when aerobic respiration is inhibited. Rhodopsins require a protein, an opsin, and an organic cofactor, retinal.
