The #microbial #diversity of #dynamic #ecosystems can today be assessed using more efficient methods. M. F. Peña-Valencia et al. (2026) identified potential #polyethyleneterephthalate (#PET)-degrading #enzymes from #mangrove #soil using #AI, #3D #structuralanalysis and #metagenomics. Some of these enzymes could be assigned to the bacterial genus #Microbulbifer.

Despite all of man's inventions, the miracle of digestion has not been fully replicated. It is impossible for a machine to digest food.... unless it has enzymes, and these enzymes can only be created by living organisms. No enzymes used in manufacturing can be produced without life, even single-celled organisms, which must be alive to produce enzymes. The power of food cannot be unlocked without life. -

Now in Chem Sci! 🎉
We investigated how #enzymes in the #nonribosomal #biosynthesis of life-saving #peptide #antibiotics can be engineered.
Assuming that #promiscuity serves as a springboard for #evolution, we measured the specificity profiles of hundreds of mutants. The results revealed remarkable shifts in substrate specificity in multiple directions, highlighting the evolutionary potential of these enzymes and leading the way for engineering antibiotic biosynthesis. -

I just learned that #termites contain bacteria in their gut that produce lots of #CO2 and #H2 from the wood fibers they eat. AND THEN they have ANOTHER type of bacteria that feeds on the #CO2 and #H2 , to produce acetate that in turn THE #termites THEMSELF eat! How cool!

The #robberfly #Tolmerus #cingulatus is native to the Palearctic and prefers dry #habitats. #Adults #prey on other insects, killing their prey with #neurotoxins, predigest via #enzymes. Larvae are soil predators. R. Mitchell (2024) presents a #genome (280,000 megabases) for the #DarwinTreeofLife. See also my science blog article (2024).

Leaf beetles' evolutionary success linked to gene transfer and symbiosis https://phys.org/news/2025-01-leaf-beetles-evolutionary-success-linked.html
"Almost all #LeafBeetles have incorporated foreign genetic material into their genome, which is responsible for the production of #enzymes necessary to digest plant cell wall components... half of the species of leaf #beetles live in close association with symbiotic #bacteria. These #symbionts provide the beetles with important digestive enzymes, vitamins, and amino acids."

Spanish mother and daughter train #bacteria to restore church frescoes https://www.reuters.com/science/spanish-mother-daughter-train-bacteria-restore-church-frescoes-2024-09-27/ #microbes
"As Spanish #microbiologist Pilar Bosch was casting around for a subject to investigate for her PhD, she stumbled across a paper suggesting that bacteria, her field, could be used in #ArtRestoration, her mother's own area of expertise... The microbiologist trains bacteria by feeding them samples of glue. The bacteria then naturally produce #enzymes to degrade the glue."

Researchers solve 2,000-year-old mystery of the destructive shipworm https://phys.org/news/2024-06-year-mystery-destructive-shipworm.html
First report of microbial #symbionts in the digestive system of #shipworms; wood boring mollusks https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0964830524000878
"a population of symbiotic #microbes, living in an overlooked sub-organ of the gut called the #typhlosole, have the ability to secrete the #enzymes needed to digest #lignin—the toughest part of wood."

"We find that #purine synthesis constitutes a bottleneck for metabolic expansion, which can be alleviated by non-autocatalytic phosphoryl coupling agents. Early phases of the expansion are enriched with #enzymes that are metal dependent and structurally symmetric, supporting models of early #biochemical #evolution. This expansion trajectory suggests distinct hypotheses regarding the tempo, mode and timing of metabolic pathway evolution"
