A polyesterase from the Antarctic bacterium Moraxella sp. degrades highly crystalline synthetic polymers
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2022)
The uncontrolled release of plastics in the environment has rendered them ubiquitous around the planet, threatening the wildlife and human health. Biodegradation and valorization of plastics has emerged as an ecofriendly ...
Chemo- and biocatalytic esterification of marchantin A and cytotoxic activity of ester derivatives
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Chemical and biocatalytic synthesis of seven previously undescribed marchantin A ester derivatives has been presented. Chemical synthesis afforded three peresterified bisbibenzyl products (TE1-TE3), while enzymatic method, ...
Upcycling of food waste streams to valuable biopigments pyocyanin and 1-hydroxyphenazine
(Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 2023)
Phenazines, including pyocyanin (PYO) and 1-hydroxyphenazine (1-HP) are extracellular secondary metabolites and multifunctional pigments of Pseudomonas aeruginosa responsible for its blue-green color. These versatile ...
Immunomodulatory activity and protective effects of chokeberry fruit extract on Listeria monocytogenes infection in mice
(United Kingdom : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) fruit extracts (CE) are rich in polyphenols and usually exhibit immunomodulatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects. We have previously shown that the CE used in this study activated ...
Biodegradable and active zein-gelatin-based electrospun mats and solvent-cast films incorporating sage extract: Formulation and comparative characterization
(Food Packaging and Shelf LifeFood Packaging and Shelf LifeFood Packaging and Shelf Life, 2023)
This study aimed to develop active, biodegradable materials for food packaging by incorporating sage extract (SE) within a zein-gelatin blend by electrospinning and solvent casting. The fabrication techniques, SE incorporation, ...
Identification of novel potent and non-toxic anticancer, anti-angiogenic and antimetastatic rhenium complexes against colorectal carcinoma
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2020)
Combination therapy targeting both tumor growth and vascularization is considered to be a cornerstone for colorectal carcinomas (CRC) treatment. However, the major obstacles of most clinical anticancer drugs are their weak ...
Triggering and identifying the polyurethane and polyethylene-degrading machinery of filamentous fungi secretomes
(Environmental Pollution, 2023)
The uncontrollable disposal of plastic waste has raised the concern of the scientific community, which tries to face this environmental burden by discovering and applying new techniques. Regarding the biotechnology field, ...
Comparative study of antimicrobial potential and DNA/BSA binding affinity of silver(I) and gold(III) coordination compounds with 1,6-naphthyridine
(Polyhedron, 2023)
In the present study, synthesis of silver(I) and gold(III) coordination compounds with 1,6-naphthyridine (1,6-naph), {[Ag(1,6-naph)(H2O)](BF4)}n (1) and [AuCl3(1,6-naph)] (2), was reported. The methods used for the structural ...
Bisaurones - enzymatic production and biological evaluation
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2020)
TheTrametes versicolorlaccase catalyzed oxidation of chalcone butein afforded four dimers of aurone sulfuretin (i.e.two regioisomeric pairs of diasteromers,1-4) as the major products. The formation of the dimers was explained ...
