Accelerated discovery of novel glycoside hydrolases using targeted functional profiling and selective pressure on the rumen microbiome

Microbiome, 2021
Background Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) form the most widespread and structurally diverse set of enzymes involved in the breakdown, biosynthesis, or modification of lignocellulose that can be found in living organisms.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Pseudoxanthomonas taiwanensis and Pseudomonas thermotolerans: Novel Thermophilic Amylase Producers in Solid‐State Fermentation

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 122, Issue 12, Page 3503-3509, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Amylases are key industrial enzymes, and thermostable variants are particularly valuable for robust bioprocessing. This study investigates amylase production via solid‐state fermentation (SSF) using non‐sterile potato peel as substrate, comparing the performance of the autochthonous microbial population with that of the inoculated fungus ...

Multi‐Omics Analyses Reveal Divergent Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Plant Biomass Conversion by Five Fungi

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Multi‐omics revealed strong time‐, substrate‐ and fungal species‐ specific responses. CAZymes, sugar transporter and sugar metabolic genes showed remarkable changes. Several valuable biocompounds were identified during fungal plant biomass conversion.

Omics Analysis of Lignin Degradation by the Gut Microbiomes of Wood‐Eating Hypomeces squamosus Fabricius

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
(1) The dominant lignin‐degrading genus taxon was Pantoea. (2) The key genes MHS‐HN_11398_2 (protocatechuate 2,3‐dioxygenase) and MHS‐HN_4821_1 (muconolactone d‐isomerase) were identified. (3) Three degrading pathways, ortho‐cleavage and meta‐cleavage of catechol, and ring‐opening of protocatechuate, were found. ABSTRACT Microbial degradation of lignin

A research update on the food value of Prionoplus reticularis (Huhu grub), an indigenous edible insect of New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1133-1145, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This review explores Prionoplus reticularis, an indigenous New Zealand edible insect, commonly known as the ‘Huhu grub’. With a rich history of consumption by Māori and a presence in local food festivals, Huhu grubs are gaining attention as a potential alternative protein source. Growing global populations increase the demand for nutrient‐rich
