The gene phyA encoding phytase was isolated from Obesumbacterium proteus genomic library and sequenced. The cleavage site of the PhyA signal peptide was predicted and experimentally proved. The PhyA protein shows maximum identity of 53% and 47% to phosphoanhydride phosphorylase from Yersinia pestis and phytase AppA from Escherichia coli, respectively. Based on protein sequence similarity of PhyA and its homologs, the phytases form a novel subclass of the histidine acid phosphatase family. To characterize properties of the PhyA protein, we expressed the phyA gene in E. coli. The specific activity of the purified recombinant PhyA was 310 U mg(-1) of protein. Recombinant PhyA showed activity at pH values from 1.5 through 6.5 with the optimum at 4.9. The temperature optimum was 40-45 degrees C at pH 4.9. The Km value for sodium phytate was 0.34 mM with a Vmax of 435 U mg(-1).

Phytate, also known as myoinositol hexakisphosphate, exhibits anti-nutritional properties and possesses a negative environmental impact. Phytase enzymes break down phytate, showing potential in various industries, necessitating thorough biochemical and computational characterizations. The present study focuses on Obesumbacterium proteus phytase (OPP), indicating its similarities with known phytases and its potential through computational analyses.

In this study, we used the Manchurian golden breed of quails. We assessed the efficacy of the food additives of the phytase from encapsulated in the recombinant yeast, which was supplied at a concentration of 500 phytase activity units per kg of the feed. One hundred fifty one-day-old quails were distributed into six treatment groups.

The review describes the advances in the phytase immobilization for the past decade and their biotechnological applications. Different approaches for phytase immobilization are described including the process using organic and inorganic matrices and microbial cells, as well as nanostructures of various nature. Moreover, the immobilization of phytase-producing microbial cells and the use of cross-linked phytase aggregates have been under consideration.

A bacterial species is considered to be intrinsically resistant to an antimicrobial when nearly all of the wild-type isolates (i.e., those without acquired resistance) exhibit minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values that are sufficiently high such that susceptibility testing is unnecessary, and that the antimicrobial should not be considered for therapy.

The gut microbiota plays a key role in host health, and disruptions to gut bacterial homeostasis can cause disease. However, the effect of disease on gut microbiota assembly remains unclear and gut microbiota-based predictions of health status is a promising yet poorly established field. Using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology, we compared the gut microbiota between healthy (HA and HB) and diarrhoeic (DS) groups and analyzed the functional profiles through a phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) analysis.
