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

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.

Functionalisation of polyhydroxybutyrate for diagnostic uses

New Biotechnology
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable and biocompatible biopolyester, naturally produced and self-assembled as spherical inclusions inside bacteria. These PHB particles contain a hydrophobic PHB core covalently coated with PHB synthase (PhaC), which serves as an anchoring linker for foreign proteins of interest.

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 ...

The Optimization Conditions of Polyhydroxybutyrate Methyl Ester from Polyhydroxybutyrate via Acid-Catalyst

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract Recently, microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) were proposed as an alternative biofuel, termed 3-hydroxyalkanoate methyl ester (3HAME). PHA is a strong candidate to make biofuels and be used in the fuel additive market today. However, an optimization study of 3HAME from PHA has never been reported.
