Evolution of carbonic anhydrases in fungi

A phylogenetic analysis of 97 fungal CA sequences is presented that addresses the diversification of fungal CAs and revealed that during the evolution of filamentous ascomycetes, a gene encoding the plant-type β-CA was duplicated, resulting in two closely related isoforms.

β-Carbonic Anhydrases Play a Role in Fruiting Body Development and Ascospore Germination in the Filamentous Fungus Sordaria macrospora

The results suggest that CAs are required for sexual reproduction in filamentous ascomycetes and that the multiplicity of isoforms results in redundancy of specific and non-specific functions.

Facing the challenge of sustainable bioenergy production: Could halophytes be part of the solution?

This review emphasises on halophytes definition, global distribution, and environmental requirements, and examines their enzymatic valorization, focusing on salt-tolerant enzymes from halophilic microbial species that may be deployed with greater advantage compared to their conventional mesophilic counterparts for faster degradation of halophyte biomass.

Bringing functions together with fusion enzymes—from nature’s inventions to biotechnological applications

Practical techniques to fuse genes are highlighted, enzymatic parameters to choose adequate enzymes for fusion approaches are summarized, and examples with biotechnological relevance are presented including a focus on plant biomass-degrading glycosyl hydrolases.

A cold-adapted esterase of a novel marine isolate, Pseudoalteromonas arctica: gene cloning, enzyme purification and characterization

A gene encoding an esterase (estO) was identified and sequenced from a gene library screen of the psychrotolerant bacterium Pseudoalteromonas arctica and showed broad substrate specificity for esters of short-chain fatty acids (C2–C8).

Generating bifunctional fusion enzymes composed of heat-active endoglucanase (Cel5A) and endoxylanase (XylT)

These fusion enzymes are attractive candidates for applications in biorefineries based on plant waste after an improvement in endoglucanase and endoxylanase catalytic activities was observed.
