Phytate, also known as myoinositol hexakisphosphate, exhibits anti-nutritional properties and possesses a negative environmental impact. Phytase enzymes break down phytate, showing potential in various industries, necessitating thorough biochemical and computational characterizations. The present study focuses on Obesumbacterium proteus phytase (OPP), indicating its similarities with known phytases and its potential through computational analyses. Structure, functional, and docking results shed light on OPP's features, structural stability, strong and stable interaction, and dynamic conformation, with flexible sidechains that could adapt to different temperatures or specific functions. Root Mean Square fluctuation (RMSF) highlighted fluctuating regions in OPP, indicating potential sites for stability enhancement through mutagenesis. The systematic approach developed here could aid in enhancing enzyme properties via a rational engineering approach. Computational analysis expedites enzyme discovery and engineering, complementing the traditional biochemical methods to accelerate the quest for superior enzymes for industrial applications.

In this study, we used the Manchurian golden breed of quails. We assessed the efficacy of the food additives of the phytase from encapsulated in the recombinant yeast, which was supplied at a concentration of 500 phytase activity units per kg of the feed. One hundred fifty one-day-old quails were distributed into six treatment groups.

The review describes the advances in the phytase immobilization for the past decade and their biotechnological applications. Different approaches for phytase immobilization are described including the process using organic and inorganic matrices and microbial cells, as well as nanostructures of various nature. Moreover, the immobilization of phytase-producing microbial cells and the use of cross-linked phytase aggregates have been under consideration.

A bacterial species is considered to be intrinsically resistant to an antimicrobial when nearly all of the wild-type isolates (i.e., those without acquired resistance) exhibit minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values that are sufficiently high such that susceptibility testing is unnecessary, and that the antimicrobial should not be considered for therapy.

The gut microbiota plays a key role in host health, and disruptions to gut bacterial homeostasis can cause disease. However, the effect of disease on gut microbiota assembly remains unclear and gut microbiota-based predictions of health status is a promising yet poorly established field. Using Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology, we compared the gut microbiota between healthy (HA and HB) and diarrhoeic (DS) groups and analyzed the functional profiles through a phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) analysis.
