Lignin is a heterogeneous polymer representing renewable source of aromatic and phenolic bio-derived products for the chemical industry. However, inherent structural complexity recalcitrance lignin makes its conversion into valuable chemicals challenge. Natural microbial communities produce biocatalysts derived from large number microorganisms, including those considered unculturable, which operate synergistically to perform variety bioconversion processes. Thus, metagenomic approaches are...
Proteiniphilum saccharofermentans str. M3/6T is a recently described species within the family Porphyromonadaceae (phylum Bacteroidetes), which was isolated from mesophilic laboratory-scale biogas reactor. The genome of strain completely sequenced and manually annotated to reconstruct its metabolic potential regarding biomass degradation fermentation pathways. P. consists 4,414,963 bp chromosome featuring an average GC-content 43.63%. Genome analyses revealed that possesses 3396...
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) is one of the main etiological agents bloodstream infections caused by Gram-negative bacilli. In present study, 20 E. isolates from human hemocultures were characterized to identify genetic features associated with virulence (pathogenicity islands markers, phylogenetic group, genes, plasmid profiles, and conjugative plasmids) these results compared commensal isolates. The most prevalent pathogenicity island, in strains hemoculture, PAI...
Members of the genera Proteiniphilum and Petrimonas were speculated to represent indicators reflecting process instability within anaerobic digestion (AD) microbiomes. Therefore, mucosa ING2-E5AT was isolated from a biogas reactor sample sequenced on PacBio RSII Illumina MiSeq sequencers. Phylogenetic classification positioned strain in close proximity Fermentimonas species (family Dysgonomonadaceae). encodes number genes for glycosyl-hydrolyses (GH) which are organized Polysaccharide...
The lignocellulolytic ERAC displays a unique set of plant polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (with multimodular characteristics), cellulosomal complexes, and PULs. MAGs described here represent an expansion the genetic content rumen bacterial genomes dedicated to polysaccharide degradation, therefore providing valuable resource for development biocatalytic toolbox strategies be applied lignocellulose-based biorefineries.
Lignin is an attractive alternative for producing biobased chemicals. It the second major component of plant cell wall and abundant natural source aromatic compounds. degradation using microbial oxidative enzymes that depolymerize lignin catabolize compounds into central metabolic intermediates a promising strategy valorization. However, intrinsic heterogeneity recalcitrance severely hinder its biocatalytic conversion. In this context, examining systems can provide fundamental understanding...
Aim: Two lytic phages were isolated using P. aeruginosa DSM19880 as host and fully characterized. Materials & methods: Phages characterized physicochemically, biologically genomically. Results conclusion: Host range analysis revealed that the also infect some multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical isolates. Increasing MOI from 1 to 1000 significantly increased phage efficiency retarded bacteria regrowth, but ph0034 (reduction of 7.5 log CFU/ml) was more effective than ph0031 5.1 after 24 h. Both...
Abstract Background Wood-decay basidiomycetes are effective for the degradation of highly lignified and recalcitrant plant substrates. The lignocellulosic materials by brown-rot strains is carried out carbohydrate-active enzymes non-enzymatic Fenton mechanism. Differences in lignocellulose catabolism among closely related brown rots not completely understood. Here, a multi-omics approach provided global understanding strategies employed L. sulphureus ATCC 52600 degradation. Results genome...
Deciphering how enzymes interact, modify, and recognize carbohydrates has long been a topic of interest in academic, pharmaceutical, industrial research. Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are noncatalytic globular protein domains attached to carbohydrate-active that strengthen enzyme affinity substrates increase enzymatic efficiency via targeting proximity effects. CBMs considered auspicious for various biotechnological purposes textile, food, feed industries, representing valuable tools...
