Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Valorization of Textile Waste: Enzymatic Upcycling of Terephthalic Acid Toward a Sustainable PET Value Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global textile industry, driven by the fast‐fashion paradigm, which is characterized by low‐cost, short‐lived garments made from inexpensive synthetic fibers, has intensified environmental pressures through increased waste generation, resource depletion, microplastic pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions ...

Designing PLA/PHBV Implants With Degradation Matched to Normal or Inflammatory Tissues

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 36, September 20, 2026.
PLA/PHBV blends are investigated under simulated normal and pathological conditions. Multivariate statistical analysis decouples the competing effects of water‐uptake‐driven hydrolysis and crystallinity‐imposed barriers. Melt‐state rheological parameters serve as structural probes linking phase morphology to degradation kinetics. A semi‐empirical model

The Controlled Release of Insect Pheromones From Biobased Thermoplastic Compounds for Sustainable Pest Management

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study advances sustainable pest management by characterizing novel insect‐specific pheromone compounds with a linear release profile. Release rate constants are derived from accelerated high‐temperature tests, enabling broadly applicable comparisons of pheromone‐polymer compounds.

Optimization of Polyhydroxybutyrate Production by Bacillus Species Isolated from Dump Site Soil Using Multiple Linear Regression Analysis

UMYU Scientifica Journal
Petrochemical-based plastics cause considerable environmental degradation due to their non-biodegradable properties; however, biodegradable plastics, such as polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), provide a sustainable relief to the environment.

Source‐Independent Enrichment of Light Lanthanides: Microbial Mobilization, Selective Uptake, and Intracellular Storage

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2026.
Only light lanthanides facilitate lanthanide‐dependent methylotrophy. In Beijerinckiaceae bacterium RH AL1, light lanthanides are enriched from diverse sources, including poorly soluble minerals, through a multilayered process involving mobilisation, selective uptake, and intracellular periplasmic storage.

Nanofillers to Improve the Barrier Properties of Biobased Substrates of Flexible Printed Electronics

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Replacing the fossil‐based substrates of supercapacitors containing liquid electrolytes with biopolymers requires an improvement in their barrier properties. Here, the abilities of three different nanofillers to lower the permeabilities of biopolymers are investigated. 20 w‐% of nanoclay Nanomer I.28E mixed into polyhydroxybutyrate has the best barrier

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial
