Methylobacterium sp. 2A is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that has the potential to improve potato crop yield under adverse conditions [PDF]
A Gram-negative pink-pigmented bacillus (named 2A) was isolated from Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desirée plants that were strikingly more developed, presented increased root hair density, and higher biomass than other potato lines of the same age.

ABSTRACT Given the increasing global demand for sustainable materials and growing concerns over the depletion of petrochemical resources, we report the synthesis of an amorphous bio‐derived polyester diol, and this diol was polymerized with various isocyanates and butanediol, yielding a novel series of bio‐based polyurethane elastomers (BPUEs). Notably,

In vivo functional and molecular characterization of the Penicillin-Binding Protein 4 (DacB) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Background: Community and nosocomial infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa still create a major therapeutic challenge. The resistance of this opportunist pathogen to β-lactam antibiotics is determined mainly by production of the inactivating enzyme AmpC ...

Enantioselective Transesterification by Candida antarctica Lipase B Immobilized on Fumed Silica [PDF]
Enzymatic catalysis to produce molecules such as perfumes, flavors, and fragrances has the advantage of allowing the products to be labeled “natural” for marketing in the U.S., in addition to the exquisite selectivity and stereoselectivity of enzymes ...

Production of 6-aminopenicillanic acid in aqueous two-phase systems by recombinant Escherichia coli with intracellular penicillin acylase [PDF]
Bioconversion of Penicillin G in PEG 20000-Dextran T 70 aqueous two-phase systems was achieved using the recombinant Escherichia coli A56 (ppA22) with intracellular penicillin acylase as catalyst. The best conversion conditions were attained for: 7%(w/v)

Indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA) acting as one of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) endogenous ligands is identified to be derived from Lactobacillus salivarius via its catalytic enzyme (ALDH) rather than host cells. Lactobacillus salivarius and IAA supplementation effectively mitigate intestinal aging by facilitating AHR‐poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase 1 ...

Key Trends and Insights in Smart Polymeric Skin Wearable Patches
Intelligent polymers, which respond to various physical and biological stimuli, are explored for the development of skin wearable patches in biomedical applications. Smart polymers, also known as intelligent or stimuli‐responsive polymers, play a crucial role in the development of advanced wearable patches due to their versatility and softness.

Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a
