Published: December 2017

Two cDNAs encoding the minor laccase isozymes (Lac2 and Lac3) of Grifola frondosa were cloned, characterized, and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant Lac2 (rLac2) was stable at pH 6.0, whereas the recombinant Lac3 (rLac3) was stable in a broad pH range (pH 4.0-8.0). In addition, rLac2 and rLac3 showed the highest catalytic efficiency (k/K) for 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid).

Oral malodor negatively impacts a person's quality of life and may affect up to 50% of the population. The aim of this randomized, placebo and no-product controlled, evaluator-blind, proof-of-concept study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the single use of two experimental lozenges containing the laccase enzyme and green coffee extract (with and without flavor) in reducing intrinsic oral malodor. Following 12-16 h of avoidance of oral hygiene,156 generally healthy subjects presented at screening and baseline visits with a mean organoleptic odor intensity (OI) score of ⩾2 and an OralChromareading of ⩾125 parts per billion (ppb) hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas and were randomly assigned to receive either one of the two experimental lozenges, a placebo lozenge, or no-product.

Elucidating Thermothielavioides terrestris secretome changes for improved saccharification of mild steam-pretreated spruce.

Biotechnol Biofuels Bioprod

October 2024

Division of Industrial Biotechnology, Department of Life Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology, Kemivägen 10, 412 96, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the fungus Thermothielavioides terrestris LPH172 interacts with different types of steam-pretreated spruce materials and untreated biomass, exploring how these substrates influence the production of enzymes in the fungus.
  • Results show that the type of spruce material affects the expression of specific enzymes, with higher levels of mannanases produced when grown on certain pretreated materials compared to untreated biomass.
  • Supplementing standard commercial enzyme mixtures with the secretome from T. terrestris significantly enhanced the efficiency of mannose release from treated spruce, indicating its potential to improve biorefinery processes.

Anticancer drugs show recalcitrance to conventional wastewater treatments; thus, they are present in aquatic systems and pose an environmental threat. Fungi represent a promising biological alternative for wastewater treatments. Therefore, the goals of this work were to assess the potential of white-rot fungi (Fomes fomentarius (CB13), Hypholoma fasciculare (CB15), Phyllotopsis nidulans (CB14), Pleurotus ostreatus (BWPH), and Trametes versicolor (CB8)) for removing bleomycin and vincristine, and to investigate the impacts of various conditions (shaking, aeration, or biomass immobilization) on the process.

Laccase surface-display for environmental tetracycline removal: From structure to function.

Chemosphere

October 2024

School of Resources and Environment, Northeast Agricultural University, HarBin, Heilongjiang Province, 150030, PR China. Electronic address:

Facing the increasingly prominent tetracycline pollution and the resulting environmental problems, how to find environmental and efficient treatment means is one of the current research hotspots. In this study, the laccase surface-display technology for tetracycline treatment was investigated. Via study, the type of anchoring protein had a minor influence on the laccase ability, while the type of laccase showed a major impact.

Exploring the formation of heterodimers of barley hydroxycinnamoylagmatines by oxidative enzymes.

Food Chem

July 2024

Laboratory of Food Chemistry, Wageningen University & Research, Bornse Weilanden 9, 6708 WG Wageningen, The Netherlands. Electronic address:

Dimers of hydroxycinnamoylagmatines are phenolic compounds found in barley and beer. Although they are bioactive and sensory-active compounds, systematic reports on their structure-property relationships are missing. This is partly due to lack of protocols to obtain a diverse set of hydroxycinnamoylagmatine homo- and heterodimers.
