The average levels of activity of intracellular and extracellular catalase were determined. The activity of intracellular catalase was shown to be significantly higher than that of extracellular catalase, the average level of activity of extracellular catalase being higher in S. aureus than in S. epidermidis. In most of the strains one zone of extracellular catalase and two molecular forms of intracellular catalase were revealed by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Cephalosporin C (CPC) is a critical raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics produced by Acremonium chrysogenum. During fermentation, the oxygen supply is a crucial factor limiting the efficient biosynthesis of CPC. This study demonstrated that the addition of exogenous surfactants significantly increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) level, extracellular catalase content, and final CPC titer.

The current work seeks to understand how the interactions between ZnO QDs and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) may vary based on the types of EPS (loosely and tightly bound) and modes of eco-corona formation (In-situ or ex-situ). In-situ eco-corona refers to formation of an EPS layer on the QDs during the interactions with the algae whereas the ex-situ condition refers to forming the layer before the interactions. ZnO QDs were added at 0.

Fusarium wilt of cucumber, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum, is a major plant disease that causes significant economic losses. The extensive use of chemical fungicides for its control poses environmental and health risks. Due to growing concerns about the detrimental effects of chemical fungicides, finding safe and effective bio-based alternatives for plant disease control is of high importance.

The excessive release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) after myocardial infarction (MI) disrupts the natural healing process, leading to cardiac fibrosis and compromising patient prognosis. However, the clinical application of many antioxidant drugs for MI treatment is hindered by their poor antioxidant efficacy and inability to specifically target the heart. Here we developed a tannic acid-modified MnO nanozyme (named MnO@TA), which can achieve cardiac targeting to inhibit post-MI fibrosis and enhance cardiac function.

Fungi can remarkably sense and adapt to various extracellular stimuli and stress conditions. Oxidative stress, which results from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses, leads to cellular damage and death. In , oxidative stress is managed by a complex antioxidant system, including thioredoxins, glutathione, catalases, peroxidases, and superoxide dismutase, with glutathione playing a crucial role.
