Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Biodegradation of PBAT and PHB/PBAT by Aspergillus and Purpureocillium isolates

open access: yes
Abstract In recent years blends and composites of biodegradable polymers have been developed as alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. Polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) are examples of polymers that received much attention due to their interesting mechanical properties.
