Recognition-driven assembly of self-limiting supramolecular protein nanoparticles displaying enzymatic activity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-08-07)
We report the recognition-driven assembly of self-limiting protein nanoparticles displaying enzymatic activity. Solution self-assembly of concanavalin A lectin and glycoenzyme glucose oxidase leads to the spontaneous ...
Enzymatic activities produced by mixed Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces cultures: relationship with wine volatile composition
(Springer, 2015-10)
During certain wine fermentation processes, yeasts, and mainly non-Saccharomyces strains, produce and secrete enzymes such as β-glucosidases, proteases, pectinases, xylanases and amylases. The effects of enzyme activity ...
Crop residues used as food drive enzyme activation and enzymatic stoichiometry in casts of the earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826)
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Earthworms are drivers of soil processes as soil structure formation and organic mattercycling. Through providing soil microbiota with mucus, temperature, and organicresources within their guts, earthworms enhance their ...
Effect of Polyethylene Glycol-Induced Molecular Crowding on the Enzymatic Activity and Thermal Stability of β-Galactosidase from Kluyveromyces lactis
(American Chemical Society, 2020-08)
Here, we report the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG6000)-induced molecular crowding (MC) on the catalytic activity and thermal stability of Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase (β-Gal). The β-Gal-catalyzed hydrolysis ...
Virulence and enzymatic activity of three new isolates of Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) from the South American locust Schistocerca cancellata (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
(Elsevier Science, 2017-11)
Schistocerca cancellata is a large-sized acridid, which has historically represented the greatest agricultural problem in southern South America, causing serious economic losses. Since 2015 S. cancellata entered in a state ...
Effect of UVB solar irradiation on Laccase enzyme: evaluation of the photooxidation process and its impact over the enzymatic activity for pollutants bioremediation
(Springer, 2020-07)
The multi-copper Laccase enzyme corresponds to one of the most investigated oxidoreductases for potential uses in xenobiotic bioremediation. In this work, we have investigated the photo-degradation process of Laccase from ...
Improvement of functional and antimicrobial properties of brewery byproduct hydrolysed enzymatically
(Elsevier Science, 2013-05)
The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of brewer's spent grain (BSG) hydrolysates. Hydrolysis was performed using a Bacillus cereus sp. extracellular peptidase. The proteins were hydrolysed for 2, 8 ...
Partial characterization of enzymatic activities produced by a wild strain of A. niger
(Slovak University of Agriculture. Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Science, 2012-12)
Aspergillus niger, isolated from decay citrus peels in the province of Misiones, was able to produce pectinases by submerged fermentation. The enzymatic extract exhibited polygalacturonase, pectinesterase and lyase activities. ...
Enzymatic soy protein hydrolysis: A tool for biofunctional food ingredient production
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
This work aimed to evaluate the digestive stability of the peptides previously identified from a Corolase PP soy protein hydrolysate (SPH) and to respond to the uncertainty about the merit of controlled hydrolysis. For ...
Evaluation of hydrolytic enzyme activities from digestive fluids of Anthonomus grandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2020-08)
The cotton boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis, is a major pest of cotton crops in South America. In this work, partial biochemical characterizations of (hemi) cellulases and pectinases activities in the digestive system (head- ...
