Phospholipase C (PLC) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids to produce phosphate monoesters and diacylglycerol. It has many applications in the enzymatic degumming of plant oils. PLC Bc , a bacterial PLC from Bacillus cereus, is an optimal choice for this activity in terms of its wide substrate spectrum, high activity, and approved safety. Unfortunately, its large-scale production and reliable high-throughput screening of PLC Bc remain challenging. Herein, we summarize the research progress regarding PLC Bc with emphasis on the screening methods, expression systems, catalytic mechanisms and inhibitor of PLC Bc . This review hopefully will inspire new achievements in related areas, to promote the sustainable development of PLC Bc and its application.

This study aimed to perform chemical characterization of black raspberry seed oil (Rubus occidentalis L., Rosaceae) from Serbia in terms of fatty acids and tocols composition, total carotenoid content, as well as to investigate its antioxidant/antimicrobial activities and in vitro wound-healing potential. GC/MS analysis revealed that linoleic (39.

Lignocellulosic biomass, owing to its recalcitrant nature, requires a consortium of enzymes for its breakdown. The present study deals with the isolation of cellulolytic bacterial strains from landfill leachate collected from the Pulau Burung landfill site of Penang, Malaysia, and consortia were constructed to test their cellulolytic efficiency. The dinitro salicylate method was used for the estimation of enzyme activity, and consortia were compared with promising bacterial strains.

Foods prepared through heating, including broths, have the potential and risk of survival of Bacillus cereus, which has the ability to form spores and biofilms. This study evaluated the efficacy of various natural products (particularly spices) in mitigating B. cereus contamination in Cheonggukjang jjigae (CJ) broth.

A 48-year-old man with Fisher syndrome was admitted to our hospital for amino acid-containing peripheral parenteral nutrition. On day 19 of his hospital stay, he became febrile and Bacillus cereus was isolated from blood cultures. Vancomycin was administered, and the entire infusion set was replaced.

Cleaning and sanitizing processing equipment are essential for achieving the hygiene standards required in food processing. The term "sanitizing" refers to the inactivation of micro-organisms by disinfectants on previously cleaned surfaces and materials. In the food industry, commercial solutions of peracetic acid (PAA) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) show bactericidal and sporicidal activity at room temperature, and are used as disinfectants for food surfaces, fruit and vegetables, or to sanitize water.
