Twenty-three V. parahaemolyticus strains, including 12 pandemic O3:K6 strains, were examined for their growth and production of thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH) under an anaerobic culture condition with or without presence of a bile acid, taurocholic acid (TCA). Both bacterial growth and TDH production were markedly enhanced by TCA for a majority of the strains, but the scale of the TDH production was disproportionately greater than that of the corresponding growth for 14 strains. Such enhancement was, however, not specific to the pandemic strains.

Glucose oxidase (GOD) is an oxygen-consuming dehydrogenase that can catalyze the production of gluconic acid hydrogen peroxide from glucose, and its specific mechanism of action makes it promising for applications, while the low catalytic activity and poor thermostability have become the main factors limiting the industrial application of this enzyme. In this study, we used the glucose oxidase GOD reported with the best thermostability as the source sequence for phylogenetic analysis to obtain the GOD with excellent performance. Six genes were screened and successfully synthesized for functional validation.

Tt72 DNA polymerase is a newly characterized PolA-type thermostable enzyme derived from the phage vB_Tt72. The enzyme demonstrates strong 3'→5' exonucleolytic proofreading activity, even in the presence of 1 mM dNTPs. In this study, we examined how the exonucleolytic activity of Tt72 DNA polymerase affects the fidelity of DNA synthesis.

A Hoveyda-Grubbs (HG)-type olefin metathesis complex with a selenoether moiety at the terminus of phenoxy moiety was synthesized. The complex showed direct selenium-atom coordination to the ruthenium center, resulting in higher thermodynamic stability compared with the parent HG catalyst. The selenium atom binding enhanced the tolerance to protic solvent molecules in ring-closing metathesis of -tosyldiallylamide and diethyl diallylmalonate, and also in the cross metathesis between 3-butenylbenzoate and methyl acrylate.

d-Tagatose, a rare sugar endowed with a low-calorie property, superior taste quality, and probiotic functionality, has garnered significant research attention. However, the prevailing biological production methods relying on β-galactosidase and l-arabinose isomerase face challenges including high cost and suboptimal conversion efficiency. Consequently, it is of great research significance to find efficient alternative routes for d-tagatose synthesis.

An alginate lyase (FsAly7) from sp. was engineered by directed evolution to improve its optimum temperature and thermostability. The optimum temperature of the positive mutant mFsAly7 (FsAly7-Ser43Pro) was increased by 5 °C, and the thermal inactivation half-lives at 40 and 45 °C were 4.
