Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bovine trypsin on the adhesion and pH of dental plaque biofilms.
Methods: A multispecies dental plaque biofilm model and a single-species dental plaque biofilm model were established in vitro. Three groups were tested: (1) blank control group (aseptic ultrapure water); (2) negative control group (1M Tris-HCl buffer, pH = 7.

Biocatalysis using a one-pot multi-enzyme cascade is one of the most valuable biotransformation processes widely used in the industry. Herein, two enzymes, UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) dehydrogenase (CGIUGD) and UDP-Xyl synthase (CGIUXS) from the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, which are coupled together for the biotransformation of UDP-Xyl, were characterized.
