The use of the endophytic fungus Serendipita indica has rapidly increased due to its wide range of host species, ability to foster plant-growth, and ability to confer tolerance to a number of stresses. However, its industrial-scale production is still in its infancy due to its low-biomass yield and ...
One sentence summary: High-density E. coli microfiltration and lysate clarification was tested for three diverse recombinant proteins, where hollow fiber and vibro membrane filtration outperformed flat sheet cassette in terms of process time, suspended solid loading, and target protein recovery.
Citric acid possesses high economic value and is considered as the world’s largest consumed organic acid in numerous industries. Citric acid applications range from food to beverage industries, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the environment. It is mostly produced by microbial fermentation, but ...
Indigo is a plant-based natural blue dye that can be produced via chemical synthesis and biological pathways. However, the toxic reduction processes and intracellular production of indigo through microbial metabolism are often limited by insolubility of indigo and complex downstream processing, ...
The equine gut harbors a diverse microbial community and represents a rich source of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). To identify and characterize potentially novel CAZymes from a horse's hindgut metagenome, shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on DNA extracted from a stool sample of ...

There have been a considerable number of antifungal studies that evaluated natural products (NPs), such as medicinal plants and their secondary metabolites, (phenolic compounds, alkaloids), essential oils, and propolis extracts. These studies have investigated natural antifungal substances for use as food preservatives, ...
Biomanufacturing could contribute as much as ${\$}$ 30 trillion to the global economy by 2030. However, the success of the growing bioeconomy depends on our ability to manufacture high-performing strains in a time- and cost-effective manner. The Design–Build–Test–Learn (DBTL) framework has proven to be an effective strain ...
Actinobacteria are a large and diverse group of bacteria that are known to produce a wide range of secondary metabolites, many of which have important biological activities, including antibiotics, anti-cancer agents, and immunosuppressants. The biosynthesis of these compounds is often highly regulated with many natural ...
Natural products have found important applications in the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors. In bacteria, the genes that encode the biosynthesis of natural products are often colocalized in the genome, forming biosynthetic gene clusters. It has been predicted that only 3% of natural products encoded in bacterial ...
The demand for discovering novel microbial secondary metabolites is growing to address the limitations in bioactivities such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anthelmintic, and immunosuppressive functions. Among microbes, the genus Streptomyces holds particular significance for secondary metabolite discovery. Each ...
