The enhanced proliferation of connected entities needs a deployment of innovative technologies for the next generation wireless networks. One of the critical concerns, however, is the spectrum scarcity, due to the unprecedented broadcast penetration rate nowadays. Based on this, visible light communication (VLC) has recently emerged as a viable solution to secure high-speed communications.

Highly purified α-l-fucosidase was obtained from several chromatographic steps after growth in the presence of l-fucose. The purified α-l-fucosidase appeared to be a monomeric protein of 67 ± 1 kDa that was able to hydrolyze the synthetic substrate p-nitrophenyl α-l-fucopyranoside (pNPFuc), with K = 1.

We have discovered and identified a new strain of filamentous fungus Fusarium proliferatum LE1 (deposition number in Russian Collection of Agricultural Microorganisms is RCAM02409), which is a potential producer of fucoidan-degrading enzymes. The strain LE1 (RCAM02409) was identified on the basis of morphological characteristics and analysis of ITS sequences of ribosomal DNA.
