Stenotrophomonas pavanii AS1 and blue light synergistically enhance kinetin riboside biosynthesis and mercury tolerance in Oryza sativa.

This study delves into the biochemical mechanisms underpinning Stenotrophomonas pavanii AS1 (SPAS1) as a bioremediation candidate for mercury (Hg) reduction. SPAS1 synthesizes kinetin riboside (KR), augmenting the conversion of Hg to elemental Hg. Priming SPAS1 with blue light (BL) boosts Hg tolerance and reduction, likely through upregulated KR biosynthesis.

Boosting resistant starch in rice: Bacterial inulin as a metabolic and glucose uptake modulator.

Bacillus stercoris PSSR12 (B. stercoris PE), an isolate from rice field soils, was identified via 16s rRNA sequencing. The synthesis of the inulin and inulin producing enzyme (IPE) in B.

Liposome-encapsulated cytochrome P450 and gibberellic acid biosynthesis in Priestia megaterium RP1.

This study explores the potential of liposome encapsulated silica immobilized cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (LSICY) for bioremediation of mercury (Hg). Current limitations in Hg reduction, including sensitivity to factors like pH and cost, necessitate alternative methods. We propose LSICY as a solution, leveraging the enzymatic activities of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYPM) for Hg reduction through hydroxylation and oxygenation.
