Some lactic acid bacteria such as or contain genes encoding 4,6-α-glucanotransferases. These enzymes convert starch and maltodextrins into isomalto/malto-polysaccharides (IMMPs). Many studies focused on the properties of recombinant glucanotransferases, but limited knowledge is available on fermentative synthesis.

Background: The removal of preformed antibodies with cleaving enzyme like IdeS (Imlifidase) has demonstrated therapeutic potential in organ transplantation for sensitized recipients. However, preformed xenoreactive antibodies (XAbs) against porcine glycans are predominantly IgM and considered detrimental in pig-to-human xenotransplantation.

Methods: Recombinant IceM, an endopeptidase cleaving IgM, was generated in Escherichia coli.

Introduction: Brucellosis is a widespread zoonotic disease that poses a considerable challenge to global public health. Existing diagnostic methods for this condition, such as serological assays and bacterial culture, encounter difficulties due to their limited specificity and high operational complexity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of enhanced diagnostic approaches for brucellosis.

Bacterial infections are a major global health challenge, posing severe risks to human well-being. Although numerous strategies have been developed to combat bacterial pathogens, their practical application is often hindered by operational constraints. Photocatalytic materials have emerged as promising candidates for bacterial disinfection and food preservation due to their efficiency and sustainability.

Platelet factor 4 (PF4), a specific protein primarily found in megakaryocytes and platelet α-granules, plays an essential role in the coagulation process. It carries a high positive charge and thus has a unique ability to readily form complexes with negatively charged heparin. This interaction between PF4 and heparin plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation and thrombosis, resulting in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).
