Reconstituted tobacco sheet process has been developed to treat and reuse tobacco wastes in the industry. During this process, microorganisms in original and concentrated tobacco waste extract (TWE) might play important roles in the final quality of the reconstituted tobacco. However, microbial communities in TWE remain largely unknown. In the present study, the Roche 454 bar-coded pyrosequencing was applied to analyze the bacterial community structure in samples. Comparison based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the original and concentrated solutions of TWE harbored abundant bacteria probably resistant to the acid, high nicotine concentration, and high osmotic pressure environment. The dominant phyla were Firmicutes and Proteobacteria. Lactobacillus and Lysinibacillus were the dominant genera of Firmicutes. The most interesting genus of Proteobacteria was Pseudomonas. It is the first time to reveal the bacterial diversities on the TWE samples from the process of reconstituted tobacco sheets.

Polyphyllins are the active ingredients of the medicinal plant Paris polyphylla. The biosynthesis of different types of polyphyllins all require the catalysis of glycosyltransferases. Even though significant efforts have been made to identify PpUGTs capable of catalyzing the initial glycosylation reaction, the specific glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of trillin have not been reported in P.

Article Synopsis
- Plant fibers play a crucial role in enhancing the physical strength and properties of reconstituted tobacco, affecting its overall mechanical performance.
- The study analyzed how different types of plant fibers and their beating degrees influenced various mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and thermal conductivity.
- It was found that softwood fibers provided the best improvement in physical properties at a specific beating degree, leading to significant increases in tensile strength and other key metrics for reconstituted tobacco.

Benzoxazinoids (BXDs) are important defense compounds produced by a number of species from different, evolutionarily unrelated plant families. While BXD biosynthesis has been extensively studied in the grasses (monocots) and core eudicots, the mechanism of BXD synthesis in the basal eudicots is still unclear. We used an integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics approach to elucidate the BXD pathway in Consolida orientalis, a Ranunculaceae species known to produce the BXD DIBOA-Glc.

With the rapid growth of population and industrial production, wastewater pollution has become a major environmental issue. Wastewater pollution also poses a threat to water resources and human health. Catalytic wet-air oxidation (CWAO) is one of the most economical and environmentally friendly technologies, especially for the treatment of toxic and non-biodegradable pollutants in wastewater.

Plants make complex and potent therapeutic molecules, but difficulties in sourcing from natural producers or chemical synthesis can challenge their use in the clinic. A prominent example is the anti-cancer therapeutic paclitaxel (Taxol). Identification of the full paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway would enable heterologous drug production, but it has eluded discovery despite a half century of intensive research.
