Endophytic and epiphytic bacteria fungi that live in association with macroalgae produce compounds favor the growth of host, being some cases more efficient than those produced by terrestrial microbiome. This review collects information from articles published Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Wiley Online Library. Articles were organized according to their antimicrobial properties, synthesis hydr...

The conversion of biomass to biofuels requires heat, pressure and acid treatments to overcome the recalcitrance of the cell wall and remove lignin that hinders access to cellulose. Economic production of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass and efficient sugar release depends on the ability to reverse and overcome this natural recalcitrance of the plant cell wall. Most of the current ideas and...

The structural / -hydrolase fold is characterized by a -sheet core of five to eight strands connected by -helices to form a / / sandwich. The superfamily members, exemplified by the cholinesterases, diverged from a common ancestor into a number of hydrolytic enzymes displaying a wide range of substrate specificities, along with proteins with no recognized hydrolytic activity. In the enzymes, th...

Chitin and chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) have been traditionally obtained by chemical digestion with strong acids. In light of the difficulties associated with these traditional production processes, environmentally compatible and reproducible production alternatives are desirable. Unlike chemical digestion, biodegradation of chitin and chitosan by enzymes or microorganisms does not require t...

The marine Arctic isolate Halomonas sp. R5-57 was sequenced as part of a bioprospecting project which aims to discover novel enzymes and organisms from low-temperature environments, with potential uses in biotechnological applications. Phenotypically, Halomonas sp. R5-57 exhibits high salt tolerance over a wide range of temperatures and has extra-cellular hydrolytic activities with several subs...

Proteolytic enzymes are well known for catalyzing hydrolytic reactions. These fall under the group of large and complex, also as proteases. mainly derived from microbial origin favored because they have a short generation time, ease genetic manipulation microorganisms, availability diverse species in nature. Macro fungi significant played an excellent role degrading lignocellulosic compounds, s...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are specialized bacterial communities inhabiting the root rhizosphere and secretion of exudates helps to, regulate microbial dynamics their interactions with plants. These bacteria viz., Agrobacterium, Arthobacter, Azospirillum, Bacillus, Burkholderia, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, etc., play important role in plant growth promotion. In addi...
