The aim of this work was to study the mechanisms of interaction between pravastatin and cell membranes using model membranes (sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles) by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy methods. On the basis of the nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, it was established that pravastatin can form intermolecular complexes with sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles by the interaction of its hydrophilic groups with the polar surface of the micelle. Conformational features of pravastatin molecule were also studied.

Over the last decades, the release and occurrence of organic pollutants in aquatic systems have become a major global concern due to their bioaccumulation, toxicity, and adverse effects on the ecosystem. Tetracycline (TC), a widely used antibiotic, is often found at high concentrations in the aqueous environment and tends to bind with the natural colloids. Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the release of surfactants in the environment has increased due to the excessive use of washing and cleaning products.

This study investigates the use of recombinant peptidases (EC 3.4) to improve protein hydrolysis and digestibility in , with a focus on addressing the challenge of reduced protein bioavailability for monogastric animals due to resistant protein-pigment formations, such as phycocyanin, and increased digesta viscosity caused by jellification properties. A library of 192 peptidases was generated, from which 142 soluble peptidases were expressed in and subsequently screened for activity against an suspension .

Microalgae are often used in different industrial sectors and can be used as indicators of aquatic environmental health. An essential step for cultivating microalgae is assessing the cell density, which is traditionally performed through cell counting by optical microscopy (OM). However, this method has limitations, mainly in terms of runtime and low reproducibility.
