Microbial biostimulants have emerged as a sustainable alternative to increase the productivity and quality of important crops. Despite this, the effects of the treatment on plant metabolism are poorly understood. Thus, this study investigated the metabolic response of common bean () related to the treatment with a biostimulant obtained from the extract of that showed positive effects on the development, growth, and yield of crops previously.

Article Synopsis
- * A novel strain of yeast, Rhodosporidium fluviale LM-2, shows promise for lignin degradation, with identified enzymes and two specific catabolic pathways for producing valuable compounds like 4-vinyl guaiacol and vanillin.
- * The study provides detailed insights into the genetics, transcripts, and proteins involved in lignin breakdown in R. fluviale LM-2, suggesting its potential for genetic engineering and application in other organisms for lignin valorization.
The biocatalytic production of fuels and chemicals from plant biomass represents an attractive alternative to fossil fuel-based refineries. In this context, the mining and characterization of novel biocatalysts can promote disruptive innovation opportunities in the field of lignocellulose conversion and valorization. In the present work, we conducted the biochemical and structural characterization of two novel hydroxycinnamic acid catabolic enzymes, isolated from a lignin-degrading microbial consortium, a feruloyl-CoA synthetase, and a feruloyl-CoA hydratase-lyase, named LM-FCS2 and LM-FCHL2, respectively.
