Optimization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae α-galactosidase production and application in the degradation of raffinose family oligosaccharides
(BMC, 2019-10-10)
[Abstract]
Background: α-Galactosidases are enzymes that act on galactosides present in many vegetables, mainly legumes and cereals, have growing importance with respect to our diet. For this reason, the use of their ...
Microbial diversity analysis and screening for novel xylanase enzymes from the sediment of the Lobios Hot Spring in Spain
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-01)
[Abstract] Here, we describe the metagenome composition of a microbial community in a hot spring sediment as well as a sequence-based and function-based screening of the metagenome for identification of novel xylanases. ...
Xylanases From Thermophilic Archaea: A Hidden Treasure
(Elsevier, 2022-12-12)
[Abstract] Archaea are a domain of prokaryotic organisms that often inhabit extremophilic environments. Their enzymes are therefore of enormous biotechnological interest, due to their stability and activity in harsh ...
Insights on Microbial Communities Inhabiting Non-Volcanic Hot Springs
(MDPI, 2022-10-13)
[Abstract] The northwest of Spain has an abundance of non-volcanic hot springs that, until recently, had only been used for thermalism activities. One of such hot springs, Muiño da Veiga, has now been explored using ...
Comparative Metagenomic Analysis of Two Hot Springs From Ourense (Northwestern Spain) and Others Worldwide
(Frontiers, 2021-11-26)
[Abstract] With their circumneutral pH and their moderate temperature (66 and 68°C, respectively), As Burgas and Muiño da Veiga are two important human-use hot springs, previously studied with traditional culture methods, ...
Novel Microbial Enzymes with Industrial Applications [Editorial]
(MDPI, 2023-04-10)
Bioprospecting for Thermozymes and Characterization of a Novel Lipolytic Thermozyme Belonging to the SGNH/GDSL Family of Hydrolases
(MDPI, 2022-05-20)
[Abstract] Functional screenings were conducted on two metagenomic libraries from hot springs in order to find novel thermozymes with potential biotechnological applications. These included enzymes acting on plant cell ...
Cellulases from thermophiles found by metagenomics
(MDPI, 2018-07-10)
[Abstract] Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has biotechnological applications in a broad spectrum ...
Biochemical and structural characterization of a novel thermophilic esterase EstD11 provide catalytic insights for the HSL family
(Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Research Network of Computational and Structural Biotechnology, 2021)
[Abstract]: A novel esterase, EstD11, has been discovered in a hot spring metagenomic library. It is a thermophilic and thermostable esterase with an optimum temperature of 60 C. A detailed substrate preference analysis ...
The HMGB Protein KlIxr1, a DNA Binding Regulator of Kluyveromyces lactis Gene Expression Involved in Oxidative Metabolism, Growth, and dNTP Synthesis
(MDPI, 2021-08-21)
[Abstract] In the traditional fermentative model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ScIxr1 is an HMGB (High Mobility Group box B) protein that has been considered as an important regulator of gene transcription in response ...
