Analysis of microbial contamination of household water purifiers
Abstract Household water purifiers are increasingly used to treat drinking water at the household level, but their influence on the microbiological safety of drinking water has rarely been assessed. In this study, representative purifiers, based on different filtering processes, were analyzed for their impact on effluent water quality. The results showed that purifiers reduced chemical qualities such as turbidity and free chlorine. However, a high level of bacteria (102–106 CFU/g)...

Prokaryotic sigma factors and their transcriptional counterparts in Archaea and Eukarya
Abstract RNA polymerases (RNAPs) carry out transcription in the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. Transcription initiation is highly regulated by a variety of transcription factors, whose number and subunit complexity increase during evolution. This process is regulated in Bacteria by the σ factor, while the three eukaryotic RNAPs require a complex set of transcription factors (TFs) and a TATA-binding protein (TBP). The archaeal transcription system appears...

Establishment of CRISPR interference in Methylorubrum extorquens and application of rapidly mining a new phytoene desaturase involved in carotenoid biosynthesis
Abstract The methylotrophic bacterium Methylorubrum extorquens AM1 holds a great potential of a microbial cell factory in producing high value chemicals with methanol as the sole carbon and energy source. However, many gene functions remain unknown, hampering further rewiring of metabolic networks. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat interference (CRISPRi) has been demonstrated to be a robust tool for gene knockdown in diverse...

Acceptor substrate determines donor specificity of an aromatic prenyltransferase: expanding the biocatalytic potential of NphB
Abstract Aromatic prenyltransferases are known for their extensive promiscuity toward aromatic acceptor substrates and their ability to form various carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Of particular interest among the prenyltransferases is NphB, whose ability to geranylate cannabinoid precursors has been utilized in several in vivo and in vitro systems. It has therefore been established that prenyltransferases can be utilized as biocatalysts for...

Use of plasmids for expression of proteins from the genus Leishmania in Escherichia coli : current state and perspectives
Abstract Leishmaniosis is caused by the protozoa of the genus Leishmania with a wide spectrum of clinical and epidemiological manifestations which are characterized into four clinical groups: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, diffuse cutaneous, and visceral. American visceral leishmaniosis (AVL) or visceral leishmaniosis (VL) has been known as the most severe form of the disease. However, despite the growing number of people exposed to the infection risk and...

Adaptation of Methanosarcina barkeri 227 as acetate scavenger for succinate fermentation by Actinobacillus succinogenes
Abstract Acetate is the main by-product from microbial succinate production. In this study, we performed acetate removal by Methanosarcina barkeri 227 for succinate fermentation by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z. The acetoclastic methanogen M. barkeri requires similar environmental factors to A. succinogenes, and the conditions required for co-cultivation were optimized in this study: gas used for anaerobicization, strain adaptation, medium composition, pH adjustment, and inoculation...

Orange peel waste–based liquid medium for biodiesel production by oleaginous yeasts
Abstract Orange peel waste (OPW), the primary byproduct of the juice extraction process, is annually generated in massive amounts (21 Mton), and its aqueous extraction in biorefining operations yields a liquid fraction, referred to as orange peel extract (OPE). Although OPE contains significant amounts of easily assimilable carbohydrates, such as fructose, glucose, and sucrose, no investigations have been conducted yet to assess its possible use in biodiesel production by oleaginous...

New perspectives on the treatment of mycobacterial infections using antibiotics
Abstract More than 100 years have passed since the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in 1882, as the pathogen that causes tuberculosis (TB). However, globally, TB is still one of the leading causes of death by infectious diseases. In 2018, approximately 10.0 million people were diagnosed with TB owing to the development of advanced strategies by M. tuberculosis to resist antibiotics, including the development of a dormant state. The World Health Organization (WHO) and...
