The lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (PFL) has been immobilized on glyoxyl-octyl agarose and compared to the enzyme immobilized on octyl-agarose. Thus, PFL was immobilized at pH 7 on glyoxyl-octyl support via lipase interfacial activation and later incubated at pH 10.5 for 20 h before reduction to get some enzyme-support covalent bonds. This permitted for 70% of the enzyme molecules to become covalently attached to the support. This biocatalyst was slightly more stable than the octyl-PFL at pH 5, 7 and 9, or in the presence of some organic solvents (stabilization factor no higher than 2). The presence of phosphate anions produced enzyme destabilization, partially prevented by the immobilization on glyoxyl-octyl (stabilization factor became 4). In contrast, the presence of calcium cations promoted a great PFLstabilization, higher in the case of the glyoxyl-octyl preparation (that remained 100% active when the octyl-PFL preparations had lost 20% of the activity). However, it is in the operational stability where the new biocatalyst showed the advantages: in the hydrolysis of 1 M triacetin in 60% 1.4 dioxane, the octyl biocatalyst released >60% of the enzyme in the first cycle, while the covalently attached enzyme retained its full activity after 5 reaction cycles.

Iron is essential for the formation, maturation and dispersal of bacterial biofilms, playing a crucial role in the physiological and metabolic functions of bacteria as well as in the regulation of virulence. Limited availability of iron can impair the formation of robust biofilms by altering cellular motility, hydrophobicity and protein composition of the bacterial surface. In this study, the antibiofilm activity of two natural iron chelating agents, kojic acid (5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4H-pyran-4-one) and maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone), were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Article Synopsis
- * The isolates were found to have beneficial traits for plants, such as producing growth-promoting compounds and enzymes, and showed antagonistic activity against certain fungal pathogens.
- * Selected isolates, specifically GU1, GU6, GU7, and GU18, not only enhanced growth in licorice plants but also effectively colonized their roots, suggesting their potential use as bioinoculants for agricultural purposes.

Bacterial lipases are versatile extracellular enzymes with a catalytic triad at the active site and a flexible 'lid' that modulates catalytic accessibility. We combined computational modeling with preliminary in vitro testing to assess the structural stability and activity of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 lipase (PAL). We evaluated several systems consisting of the native and mutant forms of the lipase in n-hexane using molecular dynamics simulations.

Biological treatment has become a promising approach for the efficient remediation of WCO. Identifying effective oil-degrading microorganisms is critical for optimizing these processes. This study focuses on isolating thermo- and salt-tolerant microbes capable of utilizing WCO as a carbon source for the production of high-value compounds.
