Waste paper holds great potential as a substrate for the microbial production of bioplastic (Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB)). This study aimed to produce PHB by utilizing office using Cupriavidus necator through batch and fed-batch simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF) approach. For experiment, different loadings shredded (3, 5 10%) with two pretreatments H2O2 (OPH) Triton X-100 (OPTH)...

LysR-type transcription regulators (LTTRs) comprise one of the largest families transcriptional in bacteria. They are typically homo-tetrameric proteins and interact with promoter DNA ~ 50–60 bp. Earlier biochemical studies have suggested that LTTR binding to bends and, upon inducer binding, bend angle is reduced through a quaternary structure change tetrameric LTTR, leading activation transcri...

Rhodospirillum rubrum possesses a putative intracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase system consisting of a soluble PHB depolymerase, a heat-stable activator, and a 3-hydroxybutyrate dimer hydrolase (J. M. Merrick and M. Doudoroff, J. Bacteriol. 88:60-71, 1964). In this study we reinvestigated the soluble R. rubrum PHB depolymerase (PhaZ1). It turned out that PhaZ1 is a novel typ...

[NiFe]-hydrogenases are regulated by various factors to fulfill their physiological functions in bacterial cells. The photosynthetic purple sulfur bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina harbors four functional [NiFe]-hydrogenases: HynSL, HupSL, Hox1, and Hox2. Most of these hydrogenases are functionally linked to sulfur metabolism, and thiosulfate has a central role in this organism. The membrane-a...

This integrated study shows that waste glycerol can be bio-valorized by the fabrication of electrospun scaffolds for stem cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) provide an interesting model of regenerating cells because of their ability to differentiate into osteo-, chrondro-, adipo- and myogenic lineages. Moreover, hMSC have modulatory properties with potential on treatment of immunologic ...
