Article Abstract
Microbes are a major source of enzymes due to their ability to be mass-cultivated and genetically modified. Compared with plant and animal enzymes, microbial enzymes are more stable and active. Enzymes are generally classified into six classes based on their reaction, substrate specificity and mechanism of action. In addition to their application in medicine for treating diseases, these compounds are used as anti-inflammatory, thrombolytic and digestive agents. However, challenges such as immunogenicity, tissue specificity and short half-life make clinical trials complex. Enzymes are metabolic catalysts in industry and their production and extraction must be optimized to preserve profitability due to rising demand. The present review highlights the increasing importance of bacterial enzymes in industry and medicine and explores methods for their production, extraction and purification.

Premastication, or pre-chewing, of food as a feeding practice for infants has been practiced across cultures as an ancient evolutionary method. Whilst literature on the topic remains slim, the majority of existing research has highlighted the potential risks, such as transmission of infections. Although the concerns are valid, potential beneficial aspects have, until now, received less attention.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is increasingly recognized as a disease influenced not only by lipid metabolism and inflammation but also by the gut microbiota and their bioactive metabolites. Isoquercitrin (ISO), a natural flavonoid with food-medicine homology, has shown promising antiatherosclerotic potential, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, ISO administration significantly reduced plaque burden, improved lipid profiles, and restored gut microbial balance by enriching beneficial taxa, such as , , and .

Berberine (BBR) is an isoquinoline alkaloid with a variety of biological activities, including anti-microbial and anti-tumoral activities. However, the cellular targets of BBR and the roles of BBR in the radiosensitivity of breast cancer cells are not well defined. In this study, we investigated the effects of BBR on the radiosensitivity of BT549 triple-negative breast cancer cells.

Fatty acid synthase (FAS) is one of the most important enzymes in lipid biosynthesis, which can catalyze the reaction of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to produce fatty acids. However, the structure, function, and molecular mechanism of FAS regulating lipid synthesis in the fungus Mucor circinelloides are unclear. In the present study, two encoding fas genes in the high lipid-producing strain WJ11 and low lipid-producing strain CBS277.
