Article Synopsis
  • Two begomoviruses, ToLCNDV and BgYMV, infect bitter gourd in India, with ToLCNDV being the more prevalent strain at 92.43%.
  • The ToLCNDV variants identified in this study show only 88% genetic similarity to other ToLCNDV isolates and have unique protein sequences that differentiate them from other geminiviruses.
  • Recombination analysis indicates that these isolates are distinct enough to warrant the designation of a new strain, ToLCNDV-BG, due to their unique genomic characteristics.

The discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), a family of copper-dependent enzymes that play a major role in polysaccharide degradation, has revealed the importance of oxidoreductases in the biological utilization of biomass. In fungi, a range of redox proteins have been implicated as working in harness with LPMOs to bring about polysaccharide oxidation. In bacteria, less is known about the interplay between redox proteins and LPMOs, or how the interaction between the two contributes to polysaccharide degradation.

One of the major problems that cause continual trouble in deep learning networks is that training a large network requires massive labelled datasets. The preparation of a massive labelled dataset is a cumbersome task and requires lot of human interventions. This paper proposes a novel generator network 'Sim2Real' transfer is a recent and fast-developing field in machine learning used to bridge the gap between simulated and real data.

The release of glucose from lignocellulosic waste for subsequent fermentation into biofuels holds promise for securing humankind's future energy needs. The discovery of a set of copper-dependent enzymes known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) has galvanised new research in this area. LPMOs act by oxidatively introducing chain breaks into cellulose and other polysaccharides, boosting the ability of cellulases to act on the substrate.
