Holistic Assessment of Rumen Microbiome Dynamics through Quantitative Metatranscriptomics Reveals Multifunctional Redundancy during Key Steps of Anaerobic Feed Degradation

mSystems, 2018
Ruminant livestock is a major source of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The complex rumen microbiome, consisting of bacteria, archaea, and microbial eukaryotes, facilitates anaerobic plant biomass degradation in the cow rumen, leading to methane ...

Degradation of lignin β-aryl ether units in Arabidopsis thaliana expressing LigD, LigF and LigG from Sphingomonas paucimobilis SYK-6 [PDF]

, 2017
Lignin is a major polymer in the secondary plant cell wall and composed of hydrophobic interlinked hydroxyphenylpropanoid units. The presence of lignin hampers conversion of plant biomass into biofuels; plants with modified lignin are therefore being ...

Single‐ and Dual‐Atom Configurations in Atomically Dispersed Catalysts for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐atom and dual‐atom‐based atomically dispersed catalysts (ADCs) effectively address the shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics in Li–S batteries. With nearly 100% atomic utilization and tunable coordination environments, ADCs enhance LiPSs adsorption, lower conversion barriers, and accelerate sulfur redox reactions.

Visible light-exposed lignin facilitates cellulose solubilization by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases

Nature Communications, 2023
Degradation of plant biomass, comprised of cellulose and polyaromatic lignin, is promoted by light. Here, the authors show that light promotes lignin-catalyzed generation of hydrogen peroxide, which is used by redox enzymes to degrade cellulose.

Assessing the potential of different biochars to support Miscanthus × giganteus phytoremediation in petroleum hydrocarbons-contaminated soil

Industrial Crops and Products
Soil contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) poses a persistent environmental challenge. This study evaluated the phytoremediation of Miscanthus × giganteus (M×g) in PHs-contaminated soil (0, 10, and 20 g kg−1) using a semi-controlled pot ...
