Bacteria and Soil Enzymes Supporting the Valorization of Forested Soils
Materials, 2022 To decompose forest biomass, microorganisms use specific enzymes from the class of oxidoreductases and hydrolases, which are produced by bacteria and soil fungi. In post-agricultural forest soils, bacteria adapt more easily to changing ecological conditions than fungi.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Dehalogenases in Soil Bacteria
Microbiology, 1981 Sixteen bacterial strains isolated from soil were able to grow on either 2-monochloropropionic acid or monochloroacetic acid as the sole carbon and energy source. The isolates were divided into five groups on the basis of differences in their dehalogenase activities towards four substrates — monochloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, 2 ...
