Conventional physical and chemical treatment technologies for 1,4-dioxane can be ineffective and consequently attention has focused on bioremediation. Towards this, the current research investigated the impact of basal salts medium (BSM) and yeast extract on 1,4-dioxane biodegradation rates in microcosms with different soil or sediment (agricultural soil, wetland sediment, sediment from an impacted site). Phylotypes responsible for carbon uptake from 1,4-dioxane were determined using stable isotope probing (SIP), both with and without BSM and yeast extract. Further, putative functional genes were investigated using 1) soluble di-iron monooxygenase (SDIMO) based amplicon sequencing, 2) qPCR targeting propane monooxygenase (large subunit, prmA) and 3) a predictive approach (PICRUSt2). The addition of BSM and yeast extract significantly enhanced 1,4-dioxane removal rates the agricultural soil and impacted site sediment microcosms. The phylotypes associated with carbon uptake varied across treatments and inocula. Gemmatimonas was important in the heavy SIP fractions of the wetland sediment microcosms. Unclassified Solirubacteraceae, Solirubrobacter, Pseudonocardia and RB4 were dominant in the heavy SIP fractions of the agricultural soil microcosms. The heavy SIP fractions of the impacted site microcosms were dominated by only two phylotypes, unclassified Burkholderiaceae and oc3299. SDIMO based amplicon sequencing detected three genes previously associated with 1,4-dioxane. The predicted functional gene analysis suggested the importance of propane monooxygenases associated with Solirubrobacter and Pseudonocardia. Overall, more microorganisms were involved in carbon uptake from 1,4-dioxane in both the wetland and agricultural soil microcosms compared to the impacted site sediment microcosms. Many of these microorganisms have not previously been associated with 1,4-dioxane removal.

Fortimicins (FTMs) are fortamine-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics (AGAs) produced by M. olivasterospora DSM 43868 with excellent bactericidal activities against a wide range of Enterobacteriaceae and synergistic activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. Fortimicin-A (FTM-A), the most active member of FTMs, has the lowest susceptibility to inactivation by the aminoglycoside modifying enzymes (AMEs).

One way to treat diabetes mellitus type II is by using α-glucosidase inhibitor, that will slow down the postprandial glucose intake. Metabolomics analysis of Artabotrys sumatranus leaf extract was used in this research to predict the active compounds as α-glucosidase inhibitors from this extract. Both multivariate statistical analysis and machine learning approaches were used to improve the confidence of the predictions.

To cover the rising demand for natural food dyes, new sources and production methods are needed. Microbial fermentation of nature-identical colours, such as the red pigment betanin, has the potential to be a cost-efficient alternative to plant extraction. The last step of betanin production is catalysed by a UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT).
