Decoding butyrate fermentation with glucose as a model substrate: Parameter optimization and metagenomic insights Open
Selective butyrate production via anaerobic fermentation holds promise for sustainable biochemicals. Despite butyrate frequently accumulate in anaerobic systems, its mechanisms and optimal conditions remain unclear. To address this gap, ba…

Bacterial Diversity in Deep‐Sea Sediments of the North Atlantic Ocean and Their Biosynthesis of Secondary Metabolites Open
Oceanic bathyal benthos harbours extremotolerant microbial species living with low nutrient availability, high hydrostatic pressure, and low temperature. Within their community, bacteria can secrete signalling molecules to gain a competiti…

Enhancing biodegradability and biomethane potential of cattle paunch contents during anaerobic digestion through pre-treatment with the secretome of deep-sea Talaromyces stollii and rumen fluid Open
Cattle paunch contents, the partially digested, recalcitrant solids removed from the rumen after slaughter, are a problematic slaughterhouse waste product. They are an underutilised source of low-value sustainable energy in the form of lig…

Exploring the Physicochemical Characteristics of Marine Protein Hydrolysates and the Impact of In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion on Their Bioactivity Open
Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) were obtained from different fish sources using a combination of microbial enzymes. The industrially produced FPHs from blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) were compared to…

Brewers’ spent grain pretreatment optimisation to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of whole slurry and resuspended pellet Open
A thermal diluted acid pretreatment using brewers spent grain (BSG) was optimised to improve enzymatic hydrolysis while minimising energy and chemical inputs. First, the use of hydrochloric or sulfuric acid for pretreatment was compared, u…

Induction and Characterisation of Lignocellulolytic Activities from Novel Deep-Sea Fungal Secretomes Open
Fungi are increasingly recognised as being able to inhabit extreme environments. The deep sea is considered an extreme environment because of its low temperatures, high hydrostatic and lithostatic pressures, 3.5% salinity, and low oxygen, …

Assessing the impact of interfering organic matter on soil metaproteomic workflow Open
Soil organic matter (SOM) is biologically, chemically, and physically complex. As a major store of nutrients within the soil, it plays an important role in nutrient provision to plants. An enhanced understanding of SOM utilisation processe…

Rapid and cost-efficient microplate assay for the accurate quantification of total phenolics in seaweeds Open
Brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) are a rich source of polyphenols (up to 20% dry weight) with a structure based on phloroglucinol (1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene). To-date the determination of total phenolics content (TPC) involves a redox re…

Fungal Assisted Valorisation of Polymeric Lignin: Mechanism, Enzymes and Perspectives Open
Lignocellulose is considered one of the significant recalcitrant materials and also is difficult to break down because of its complex structure. Different microbes such as bacteria and fungi are responsible for breaking down these complex …

Current Progress in Optimising Sustainable Energy Recovery From Cattle Paunch Contents, a Slaughterhouse Waste Product Open
Paunch contents are the recalcitrant, lignocellulose-rich, partially-digested feed present in the rumen of ruminant animals. Cattle forage in Europe is primarily from perennial and Italian ryegrasses and/or white clover, so paunch contents…

Fungi from the sediments of the harbour of Livorno as potential bioremediation agents Open
The harbour's sediments are among the biotypes most affected by contamination by pollutants due to anthropogenic activities. The porpoise of this work is to perform a preliminary screening on 74 fungi previously isolated in the polluted se…

Production of a recombinant swollenin from Trichoderma harzianum in Escherichia coli and its potential synergistic role in biomass degradation Open
Many aspects of the structure and mechanism of action of fungal SWOs remain unknown. In the present study, we produced a recombinant, active SWO from T. harzianum using a prokaryotic host and confirmed its potential synergistic role in bio…
