Three xylanase genes (xynA, xynB, xynC) of glycosyl hydrolase family 10 were identified in Humicola insolens Y1. The deduced protein sequences showed the highest identity of ⩽83% to known fungal xylanases and of ⩽38% with each other. Recombinant XynA-C produced in Pichia pastoris showed optimal activities at pH 6.0-7.0 and at high temperature (70-80°C), and exhibited good stability over a broad pH range and temperatures at 60°C. The gene xynC produced by H. insolens Y1 (named XynW) was similar in enzyme properties with XynC expressed by Pichia. XynA exhibited better alkaline adaptation and thermostability, and had higher catalytic efficiency and wider substrate specificity. Under simulated mashing conditions, addition of XynA-C showed better performance on filtration acceleration (37.4%) and viscosity reduction (13.5%) than Ultraflo from Novozyme. Thus the three xylanases represent good candidates for application in the brewing industry.

The β-glucosidase enzyme is a glycosyl hydrolase that breaks down the β-1,4 linkage of cellobiose. It is inhibited by glucose at high concentrations due to competitive inhibition. However, at lower glucose concentrations, the glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase from Humicola insolens (BGHI) undergoes stimulation.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers expressed a thermostable alkaline form of FAE from Humicola insolens in Pichia pastoris, achieving an enzyme activity yield of 2.36 ± 0.21 U/mL, with optimal performance at pH 7.5 and 70 °C.
- * Using FAE as a pretreatment before chemical bleaching reduced the need for chemical agents by 20%, decreased the kappa value by 10.64%, and improved pulp strength by increasing viscosity by
Circular Melt-Spun Textile Fibers from Polyethylene-like Long-Chain Polyesters.

As textiles contribute considerably to overall anthropogenic pollution and resource consumption, increasing their circularity is essential. We report the melt-spinning of long-chain polyesters, materials recently shown to be fully chemically recyclable under mild conditions, as well as biodegradable. High-quality uniform fibers are enabled by the polymers' favorable combination of thermal stability, crystallization ability, melt strength, and homogeneity.

This study investigated the impact of Candida tropicalis NITCSK13 on sugarcane bagasse (SCB) consolidated bioprocessing (CSB) using various parameters, such as pH, steam explosion (STEX) pretreatment, and temperature (at two different temperatures, cellulose hydrolysis and ethanol fermentation). The backpropagation neural network (BPNN) method simulated the optimal CSB conditions, achieving a maximum ethanol yield of 44 ± 0.32 g/L (0.

Genetic engineering at the genomic scale provides a rapid means to evolve microbes for desirable traits. However, in many filamentous fungi, such trials are daunted by low transformation efficiency. Differentially expressed genes under certain conditions may contain important regulatory factors.
