The incidence of fungal infections has been increasing in the last decades, while number available antifungal classes remains same. natural and acquired resistance some species to therapies, associated with high toxicity these drugs on present scenario makes an imperative search for new, more efficient less toxic therapeutic choices. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a potential class antimicrobial consisting evolutionarily conserved multifunctional molecules both microbicidal...
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...
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are involved in the degradation of a wide diversity carbohydrates and present several biotechnological applications. Many GH families composed enzymes with single well-defined specificity. In contrast, from GH16 family can act on range different polysaccharides, including β-glucans galactans. SCLam, member derived soil metagenome, an endo-β-1,3(4)-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6), cleave both β-1,3 β-1,4 glycosidic bonds glucans, such as laminarin, barley β-glucan,...
Ferulic acid (FA), a low-molecular weight aromatic compound derived from lignin, represents high-value molecule, used for applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. FA can be further enzymatically converted other commercially interesting molecules, such as vanillin bioplastics. In several organisms, these transformations often start with common step of activation via CoA-thioesterification, catalyzed by feruloyl-CoA synthetases (Fcs). this context, enzymes are...
