The chitosanase and chitinase activity were revealed in the culture supernatant of Bacillus cereus TKU027 with shrimp head powder (SHP) as the sole carbon/nitrogen source. The chitosan with 60% degree of deacetylation (DD) was depolymerized by TKU027 crude enzyme. The low DP oligomers stimulated the growth of Lactobacillus paracasei BCRC12193 and Lactobacillus kefir BCRC14011 in a MRS broth supplemented with low DP oligomers for 12 h. Conversely, the high DP oligomers (0.1%) had potent inhibitory effects against L. paracasei BCRC12193 and L. kefir BCRC14011 for 48 h. Besides, the study also investigated the effects of B. cereus TKU027 on degradation of SHP and the survival conditions of bacteria in mangrove river sediment of Tamsui River. The 5 weeks-incubation sample of SHP and B. cereus TKU027-amended mangrove river sediment showed the highest amounts of biomass, reducing sugar and total sugar, and some variance of bacterial community compositions existed in the soils.

In the context of agribusiness, the agricultural and livestock sectors generate a considerable quantity of waste on a daily basis. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) represents a potential alternative for mitigating the adverse effects of residue accumulation and for producing high-value products such as enzymes. Pleurotus pulmonarius is capable of producing a number of commercial enzymes, including amylases.

Seaweeds have been utilized as food, fodder, fertilizer, and medicine since ancient times; nevertheless, they have received only a little attention. In the current work, we extracted the sulfated polysaccharide from a marine source and investigated its anti-arthritic potential . The isolated and freeze-dried polysaccharide was tested for acute oral toxicity based on OECD 423.

Background: Human cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) is an extrahepatic enzyme that is overexpressed in many tumors and is associated with tumor development and acquired resistance. Few studies have reported that anthraquinone compounds have inhibitory activity against the CYP1B1 enzyme. Cassiae semen (Leguminosae) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine containing more than 70 compounds.
