Controlling catabolite repression for isobutanol production using glucose and xylose by overexpressing the xylose regulator.

Using lignocellulosic biomass is immensely beneficial for the economical production of biochemicals. However, utilizing mixed sugars from lignocellulosic biomass is challenging because of bacterial preference for specific sugar such as glucose. Although previous studies have attempted to overcome this challenge, no studies have been reported on isobutanol production from mixed sugars in the Escherichia coli strain.

Coproduction of exopolysaccharide and polyhydroxyalkanoates from Sphingobium yanoikuyae BBL01 using biochar pretreated plant biomass hydrolysate.

Sphingobium yanoikuyae BBL01 can produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). The effect of side products (furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), vanillin, and acetate) produced during pretreatment of biomass was evaluated on S. yanoikuyae BBL01.

Leucyl-tRNA Synthetase Inhibitor, D-Norvaline, in Combination with Oxacillin, Is Effective against Methicillin-Resistant .

Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) is a pathogenic bacterium that causes severe diseases in humans. For decades, MRSA has acquired substantial resistance against conventional antibiotics through regulatory adaptation, thereby posing a challenge for treating MRSA infection. One of the emerging strategies to combat MRSA is the combinatory use of antibacterial agents.
