Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Plasmid pND6-1 enhances the stability and conjugative transfer of co-resident companion plasmid pND6-2 in the naphthalene-degradative Pseudomonas putida strain ND6

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2022
Background: Bacterial cells often harbor multiple plasmids, but the interaction between these plasmids is poorly understood. Pseudomonas putida ND6, one of the typical naphthalene-degrading bacteria, contains two annotated plasmids, pND6-1 and pND6-2 ...

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Collective Action and Responses to Poor‐Quality Recycling in St. John’s [PDF]

, 2009
This paper discusses the lack of proper recycling programs in St John’s, NL and explains the relevance of collective action and rational choice theories in addressing the matter. The city has done a poor job of implementing proper recycling programs, and

Microglial dynamics and ferroptosis induction in human iPSC‐derived neuron–astrocyte–microglia tri‐cultures

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A tri‐culture of iPSC‐derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia treated with ferroptosis inducers as an Induced ferroptosis model was characterized by scRNA‐seq, cell survival, and cytokine release assays. This analysis revealed diverse microglial transcriptomic changes, indicating that the system captures key aspects of the complex cellular ...

Opportunities for household solid waste recycling and policy status in Malaysia [PDF]

, 2013
Malaysia provides ample opportunities for solid waste recycling due to their dependence on recyclable materials, which could be observed from the dominance of recyclables in the wastes disposed at the landfills. This paper attempts to develop an overview

Similarities and Differences in Quorum Sensing-Controlled Bioluminescence between Photobacterium phosphoreum T3 and Vibrio qinghaiensis sp.-Q67

Applied Sciences, 2022
Quorum sensing is a density-dependent mechanism using chemical signal molecules termed autoinducers to regulate diverse biological processes in bacteria, including bioluminescence. However, the correlation between growth and light emission of two typical

Insights Into the Antigenic Repertoire of Unclassified Synaptic Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We sought to characterize the sixth most common finding in our neuroimmunological laboratory practice (tissue assay‐observed unclassified neural antibodies [UNAs]), combining protein microarray and phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP‐Seq). Methods Patient specimens (258; 133 serums; 125 CSF) meeting UNA criteria were profiled;
