Docking and Molecular Dynamic of Microalgae Compounds as Potential Inhibitors of Beta-Lactamase.

Bacterial resistance is responsible for a wide variety of health problems, both in children and adults. The persistence of symptoms and infections are mainly treated with β-lactam antibiotics. The increasing resistance to those antibiotics by bacterial pathogens generated the emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), an actual public health problem.

Halotolerant aminopeptidase M29 from Mesorhizobium SEMIA 3007 with biotechnological potential and its impact on biofilm synthesis.

The aminopeptidase gene from Mesorhizobium SEMIA3007 was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme called MesoAmp exhibited optimum activity at pH 8.5 and 45 °C and was strongly activated by Co and Mn.

Bg10: A Novel Metagenomics Alcohol-Tolerant and Glucose-Stimulated GH1 ß-Glucosidase Suitable for Lactose-Free Milk Preparation.

New ß-glucosidases with product (glucose) or ethanol tolerances are greatly desired to make industrial processes more marketable and efficient. Therefore, this report describes the in silico/vitro characterization of Bg10, a metagenomically derived homodimeric ß-glucosidase that exhibited a Vmax of 10.81 ± 0.
