Xylanase from Pectinex 3XL was purified 70-fold by precipitation with an enteric polymer, Eudragit S-100. The purified xylanase was immobilized on magnetic latex beads via carbodi-imide coupling. The immobilized preparation showed 80% of the total activity bound to the beads. The pH optimum remained unchanged at 6.0 and the Km increased from 0.25 g/100 ml (free enzyme) to 0.39 g/100 ml on immobilization. Immobilization resulted in significant thermal stability at 60 degrees C. The time course of hydrolysis of xylan at 60 degrees C by free enzyme as well as immobilized enzyme was also studied.

Background/objectives: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained attention in theranostics for their ability to combine diagnostic imaging and therapeutic capabilities in a single platform, enhancing targeted treatment and monitoring. Surface coatings are essential for stabilizing MNPs, improving biocompatibility, and preventing oxidation that could compromise their functionality. Natural rubber latex (NRL) offers a promising coating alternative due to its biocompatibility and stability-enhancing properties.

The escalating global emphasis on sustainability, coupled with stringent regulatory frameworks, has spurred the quest for environmentally viable alternatives to petroleum-derived materials. Within this context, the adhesives industry has been actively seeking renewable options and eco-friendly synthesis pathways. This study introduces geraniol, a monoterpenoid alcohol, in its unmodified form, as a key component in the production of waterborne pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on acrylic latex through emulsion polymerization.

This work introduces a novel 1-pot, 0-waste, 0-VOC methodology for synthesizing polymeric surfactants using acrylated epoxidized soybean oil and acrylated glycerol as primary monomers. These macromolecular surfactants are synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, allowing for tunable hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) and ionic properties. We characterize the copolymers' chemical composition and surface-active properties, and evaluate their effectiveness in forming and stabilizing emulsions of semiepoxidized soybean oil and poly(acrylated epoxidized high oleic soybean oil).

Background: Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcosis, primarily affecting immunocompromised individuals, including solid-organ transplant recipients, and, less frequently, immunocompetent people.
Case: A 15-year-old male with congenital hepatic fibrosis, portal hypertension, and cirrhosis underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. He received perioperative antimicrobial and antifungal prophylaxis and continued immunosuppressive treatment.
