  5. 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.

"What she gave us was a way of looking at #enzymes that remains absolutely fundamental to our discipline": Maren Nattermann, Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, on Marjory Stephenson (1885–1948), the pioneer of chemical #microbiology whose work on bacterial metabolic physiology established the field as an independent discipline. mpg.de/26210626/marjory-stephe @MPI_TM #WomeninScience

  17. 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.

  21. 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!
