Genome-Scale Metabolic Model Reconstruction and Investigation into the Fluxome of the Fast-Growing Cyanobacterium sp. PCC 11901.

The ability to convert atmospheric CO and light into biomass and value-added chemicals makes cyanobacteria a promising resource microbial host for biotechnological applications. A newly discovered fastest-growing cyanobacterial strain, sp. PCC 11901, has been reported to have the highest biomass accumulation rate, making it a preferred target host for producing renewable fuels, value-added biochemicals, and natural products.

Simultaneous pretreatment and saccharification process for fermentable sugars production from biomass using transgenic .

With the increase in the cognizance toward the wide and abundant lignocellulosic biomass, a great interest has been garnered toward the production of value-added products from the biomass. Hence, by capitalizing the biomass, the current work developed a simultaneous pre-treatment and saccharification (SPS) process using transgenic e. The ability of e to produce lignolytic and cellulolytic enzymes was enhanced by optimizing key process parameters.

Immobilized inulinase: a new horizon of paramount importance driving the production of sweetener and prebiotics.

In recent times, inulinase has emerged as one the most prominent and industrially upcoming enzymes applied to meet the ever increasing demand of d-fructose and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) as sweetener and prebiotics in the food and pharmaceutical industry, respectively. This review deals with types of inulinase and the attempts made to modify it for better thermal stability and shelf life. The ease of immobilization of inulinase has led us to the path of experimenting with different methods of enzyme immobilization since 1979.
