An enzyme exhibiting NADH oxidase (diaphorase) activity was isolated from the hyperthermophilic sulfate-reducing anaerobe Archaeoglobus fulgidus. N-terminal sequence of the protein indicates that it is coded for by open reading frame AF0395 in the A. fulgidus genome. The gene AF0395 was cloned and its product was purified from Escherichia coli. Like the native NADH oxidase (NoxA2), the recombinant NoxA2 (rNoxA2) has an apparent molecular mass of 47 kDa, requires flavin adenine dinucleotide for activity, has NADH-specific activity, and is thermostable. Hydrogen peroxide is the product of bivalent oxygen reduction by rNoxA2 with NADH. The rNoxA2 is an oxidase with diaphorase activity in the presence of electron acceptors such as tetrazolium and cytochrome c. During purification NoxA2 remains associated with the enzyme responsible for D-lactate oxidation, the D-lactate dehydrogenase (Dld), and the genes encoding NoxA2 and Dld are in the same transcription unit. Together these results suggest that NADH oxidase may be involved in electron transfer reactions resulting in sulfate respiration.

Wolfberry () is a vital economic tree species in northwest China, but root rot caused by occurs frequently, which seriously endangers the quality and yield of wolfberry. In this study, potato glycoside alkaloids (PGAs), a plant-derived active substance, were used as materials to explore its inhibitory effect on . By analyzing the changes of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, antioxidant capacity, and apoptosis, the role of PGAs-mediated oxidative stress in inducing apoptosis of was revealed.

Gossypol removal is crucial for the resourceful utilization of cottonseed meals in the food and feed industries. Herein, we investigated the comprehensive detoxification mechanism of a gossypol-tolerant strain of (WK331) newly isolated from the rumen. Biodegradation assays showed that WK331 removes over 80% of free gossypol, of which 50% was biodegraded and 30% was converted into bound gossypol.

Efficient regeneration of NAD remains a significant challenge for oxidative biotransformations. In order to identify enzymes with higher activity and stability, a panel of NADH oxidases (Nox) was investigated in the regeneration of nicotinamide cofactors for the oxidation of hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (HMFCA). We present novel Nox that exhibit remarkable catalytic activities, elevated thermal and pH stabilities, and higher intrinsic flavin loadings, thus eliminating the need for external flavin addition.

The NADH/NAD balance plays a critical role in regulating cellular and metabolic pathways. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (ScGPD) enzymes are essential for NADH homeostasis, glycerol biosynthesis, and osmotic stress adaptation. This study investigates the replacement of ScGPD isoforms with the water-forming NADH oxidase from Lactococcus lactis (LlnoxE) and its effects on 10% glucose fermentation dynamics in minimal medium under microaerobic conditions.
