Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the diversity of fungal dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) in New Caledonian mangrove sediments, examining their distribution and biochemical characteristics.
- During the research, the highest DyP diversity was found in surface sediments during the wet season, with one predominant DyP isoform (OFU1) making up to 100% of sequences in some samples.
- The key enzyme DyP1 was characterized for its stability and ability to oxidize phenolic substrates, showing promise for decolorizing industrial dyes, particularly under varying pH and temperature conditions.

Article Synopsis
- - Mangroves are unique ecosystems at the land-sea boundary, offering varied environmental conditions ideal for studying microbial communities with diverse structures and niches.
- - This study examined prokaryotic and fungal compositions in New Caledonian mangrove sediments across different seasons and depths, revealing distinct patterns influenced mainly by sediment depth for prokaryotes and a relatively even distribution for fungi.
- - Key findings indicate that Ascomycota fungi dominate over Basidiomycota, while different prokaryotic phyla show preferences for certain sediment layers, emphasizing the need to consider both fungal and prokaryotic communities for insights into organic matter decomposition in these coastal habitats.
