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

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4724-4743, August 2026.
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

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.

Employing Nanotechnology to Enhance Ethanol Production in Two Synechococcus elongatus Strains

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.
Here, we report on how bacterial microcompartment technology can be used to improve bioproduction in cyanobacteria. Fusion of encapsulation peptides to the two enzymes of the ethanol biosynthetic pathway increased ethanol titres up to 84 times. 1.31 g L−1 of ethanol was produced in 6 days.

Scalable Wheat Bran‐Algae Composites for Edible Electronics with Spray‐Coated Food‐Grade Conductive Inks

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 13, 6 July 2026.
A fully edible wheat bran–algae substrate is fabricated through scalable mould‐compression and spray‐coating, enabling robust, food‐grade platforms for sustainable electronics. A chitosan barrier improves water resistance and ink compatibility, while activated‐carbon conductive films form uniform electrodes with Ohmic behaviour.

Compatibilization and Reinforcement of PHB/PBAT Blends via Sequential Blending of Surface‐Modified Cellulose

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 7, Page 5358-5370, July 2026.
Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...

Shear Piezoelectricity in Poly(L‐Lactic Acid): From Molecular Chirality to Regenerative Materials Design

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review highlights how PLLA's molecular chirality and noncentrosymmetric chain packing generate intrinsic shear piezoelectricity without electrical poling, while crystallinity, optical purity, and molecular orientation define its design space. By distinguishing intrinsic d14 from device‐level outputs and connecting processing strategies to tissue ...

In Vivo Enzyme Catalytic Rates in Formate‐Growing Methanococcus maripaludis

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
In vivo catalytic rates of Methanococcus maripaludis enzymes during C1 carbon source limited growth were determined from metabolic model estimated fluxes and proteomics data. They showed weak agreement with turnover numbers predicted from sequences.

Effects of Carbon‐to‐Nitrogen Ratio in Biofloc System on Water Quality, Growth Performance and Haematological Parameters of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 10‐week indoor culture trial was carried out to assess the impact of various C/N ratios on the water quality, growth performance and haematology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a biofloc system. The experiment included four biofloc treatment groups with distinct C/N ratios (12:1, 15:1, 18:1 and 21:1) and a control group with a C/N
