The role and mechanism of elagitannase is misunderstood because it exhibited different activities due to the low purity or complexity of substrates, and there is no available information about the biochemical, physicochemical and molecular characteristics of the enzyme. This study was aimed to obtain enzymatic extracts by Aspergillus niger GH1 in solid-state fermentation, using dextrose and ellagitannins as inducers of ellagitannase. Protein and bioinformatic analysis were performed to identify the protein sequence expressed in terms of culture conditions. The presence of ellagitannins increased ellagitannase activity 1143-fold compared to dextrose. The higher ellagitannase activity was found at 18 h of culture (1143.30 U gPE). Three groups of proteins were identified in both cultures: β-glucosidase, phospholipase C, and triacylglycerol lipase. However, only phospholipase C was overexpressed with ellagitannins as inducers, showing the most spontaneous reaction with punicalagin (ΔG -8.56). These results suggest that phospholipase could be involved in ellagitannins biosynthesis.

Enhanced post-thaw functional characteristics of cryopreserved caprine dermal fibroblasts through adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins.

Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play a crucial role in regulating the biological properties of adherent cells. For cryopreserved fibroblasts, a favourable ECM environment can help restore their natural morphology and function more rapidly, minimizing post-thaw stress responses.
Methods And Results: This study explored the functional responses of cryopreserved enriched caprine adult dermal fibroblast (cadFibroblast) cells to structural [collagen-IV and rat tail collagen (RTC)] and adhesion ECM proteins (laminin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) under in vitro culture conditions.

Background: Seed banks are a vital resource for preserving plant species diversity globally. However, seedling establishment and survival rates from banked seeds can be poor. Despite a growing appreciation for the role of seed-associated microbiota in supporting seed quality and plant health, our understanding of the effects of conventional seed banking processes on seed microbiomes remains limited.

Reichert's membrane (RM) is a basement membrane of gigantic proportions that surrounds the mammalian embryo following implantation. It is part of the parietal yolk sac, which originates from the wall of the preimplantation blastocyst. RM persists from implantation to birth in rodents and analogous structures occur in other mammals, including primates.
