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

The 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

Assessment of two minimally invasive methodologies for sex identification in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sex is an important driver of variation in behaviour, ecology and physiology. Sex identification in the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) currently requires fish sacrifice, or the use of morphological differences such as body length, which can be inaccurate in certain habitats and at intermediate body lengths.

Rheological properties of pea protein concentrate versus isolate suspension as influenced by different hydrocolloids in model food systems

Applied Food Research
The choice of protein fraction and associated hydrocolloids in plant-based formulation for dairy or meat alternatives, can be challenged with the vast available ingredients on the market issued from different processing or extraction techniques.

First Description and Characterisation of Lactococcus garvieae Strains Causing Septicaemic Disease in Farmed Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax; Linnaeus) in Spain

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first description and characterisation of Lactococcus garvieae isolated from diseased European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) farmed in Spain. During autumn 2023, two fish farms were affected by infectious outbreaks causing moderate cumulative fish mortality (5%–10%). Diseased fish showed clinical signs of haemorrhagic

Effects of Extrusion on Protein Textures of Hydrolysed Rice and Pea Isolates

Foods
The structure and texture of plant proteins play a key role in determining their functionality and use in plant-based meat analogues. Extrusion is an effective technology for developing textures through protein denaturation and alignment, so controlling ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Protein–Protein Interactions and Structure of Heat-Set Gels Based on Pea Protein and Egg White Mixtures

Gels
The substitution of animal proteins with plant-based ones to fit environmental and economic demands is a challenge in gel applications. This study examined the thermal elation of mixtures of pea protein isolate (PPI) and egg white proteins (EWPs) at ...

OsFeSOD3 Functions as an Enzymatic Component of the PEP Complex, Bifunctionally Regulating Chloroplastic ROS Metabolism and Chloroplast Biogenesis in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chloroplasts are essential organelles responsible for photosynthesis, providing energy and metabolic intermediates required for plant growth and productivity. Chloroplast development is highly sensitive to environmental stresses such as drought, and this sensitivity is closely associated with growth inhibition and yield reduction under stress ...
