چکیده

This review intends to provide an overview of historical and recent achievements in studies of microbial degradation of natural and synthetic rubber. The main scientific focus is on the key enzymes latex-clearing protein (Lcp) from the Gram-positive Streptomyces sp. strain K30 and rubber oxygenase A (RoxA) from the Gram-negative Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y, which has been hitherto the only known rubber-degrading bacterium that does not belong to the actinomycetes. We also emphasize the importance of knowledge of biodegradation in industrial and environmental biotechnology for waste natural rubber disposal.

Impact of Layout Sequence of the Natural and Synthetic Adsorbents in Double-Layered Composites on Improving the Natural Fiber Acoustic Performance Using the Numerical Finite Element Method

Introduction: The acoustic performance of natural fiber adsorbents has been investigated in numerous studies. A part of these materials show a poor adsorption within the frequency range of less than 1000 Hz. In the present study, attempts were made to investigate the effect of layout sequence of double-layered composites consisting of natural and synthetic fibers on improving the acoustic adsor...

Analysis of Drug-Drug Interactions with Cyclic Voltammetry: An Overview of Relevant Theoretical Models and Recent Experimental Achievements

In this review, we focus on cyclic voltammetry as a reliable electrochemical technique to study mechanisms, kinetics and thermodynamics of various types of drug-drug interactions. While we present and discuss six theoretical models relevant to analyze drug-drug (or drug-DNA) interactions, we also give hints about recent experimental achievements in this field. In addition, we provide the reader...
