The biosynthesis of antibiotics and self-protection mechanisms employed by antibiotic
producers are an integral part of the growing antibiotic resistance threat. The origins of …

This review surveys recent advances in biocatalysis, with a primary focus on contributions
from the patent literature since 2018, including reductive aminations, nitro reductions …

The streptothricin antibiotics were among the first antibiotics to be discovered from the
environment and remain some of the most recovered antimicrobials in natural product …

The low efficiency of peroxone (O 3/H 2 O 2) at acidic and neutral pH restrained its
application in water purification. To overcome this shortcoming, CeO X@ SiO 2 with large …

Mesotrione is among the most recently marketed herbicides belonging to the triketone family
and applied on maize crops. A Bacillus megaterium Mes11 strain isolated from an …

Cold-active enzymes increase their catalytic efficiency at low-temperature, introducing
structural flexibility at or near the active sites. Inevitably, this feat seems to be accompanied …

Chloramphenicols (CAPs) are ubiquitous emerging pollutants that threaten ecological
environments and human health. Microbial and enzyme-based biodegradation strategies …

The tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) framework is commonly found in natural products and
pharmaceutically relevant molecules. Apart from using transition metal catalysts and chiral …

Phylogenetically diverse bacteria can carry out chloramphenicol reduction, but only a single
enzyme has been described that efficiently catalyzes this reaction, the NfsB nitroreductase …

In this study, a potent nitroreductase enzyme was successfully identified and engineered,
which was then employed in an efficient and environmentally friendly chemo-bio …
