Protein engineering was performed by N-terminal region replacement and site-directed mutagenesis in the cord of a xylanase (Srxyn) from Streptomyce rochei L10904 to improve its catalytic characteristics. Three mutants SrxynF, SrxynM and SrxynFM displayed 2.1-fold, 3.2-fold and 5.3-fold higher specific activities than that of Srxyn, respectively. Moreover, all of the mutants showed greater substrate affinity and k/K than the native Srxyn. In addition, the enzymes showed improved hydrolysis characteristics, of which the most noteworthy is the enhanced ability of producing xylobiose (X2) and xylotriose (X3) from polymeric substrates. The engineered xylanases have greater potential for applications in oligosaccharide preparation industry.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and chilli (Capsicum annuum) are globally significant vegetable crops susceptible to damping-off disease caused by Pythium aphanidermatum, leading to substantial yield losses. The study aimed to document the biocontrol and plant growth promotion potential of Streptomyces rochei against damping-off disease in tomato and chilli. The actinobacterial isolates ACS18 followed by ACT30, and AOE12 were accomplished as the most effective antagonists against P.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most serious malignancies affecting humans. In this study, bioactive chemicals extracted from soil were analyzed for their anti-colorectal-cancer and antibacterial properties. A total of 100 soil samples were collected from Kerman-Iran, incubated in SCA media and the antimicrobial properties were tested using the cross-streak method.

Cyclic peptides, with remarkable stability, cellular permeability, and proteolysis resistance, display promising potential in pharmaceutical applications. Labionin (Lab), a unique bicyclic cross-link containing both C-C and C-S bonds, provides high rigidity and better control of conformation compared to monocyclic cross-links. To discover more Lab-containing scaffolds with highly rigid conformation for cyclic peptide drug development, herein, a cryptic class III lanthipeptide biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) (i.
