Article Abstract
Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) offer a promising strategy for enzyme immobilization, enhancing reusability, high enzyme loading capacity, carrier-free nature, enhanced thermal or operational stability, and ease of preparation and suitability for industrial-scale applications. This study presents the development and optimization of CLEAs of crude amidase from Bacillus smithii IIIMB2907 for efficient biocatalytic synthesis of pharmaceutically important hydroxamic acids from amides. By optimizing key preparation parameters, a robust immobilized biocatalyst was established that retains high activity and stability during repeated use. The CLEAs demonstrated strong catalytic performance in a 1 L bioreactor, successfully converting benzamide to benzohydroxamic acids with sustained activity over multiple subsequent cycles retaining ~ 70 % of their initial activity. This work highlights the practical potential of using immobilized crude enzymes for cost-effective biocatalysis and provides a foundation for further scale-up and process development in sustainable hydroxamic acid production.

A search for bacteriophage proteins with an EF-like calcium-binding loop, first discovered in the phage T5 endolysin (EndoT5), revealed a group of 71 peptidases of the M15_C subfamily. All the sequences found belonged to the phages infecting Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Shigella, Edwardsiella, Pectobacterium, Aeromonas, Shewanella etc.) In this work, we have characterized a hypothetical protein of Aeromonas bacteriophage 3, a representative of this group.

L-glutaminase (L-GLNase) was initially purified from Bacillus arachidis E12 using a three-phase partitioning (TPP) technique. The enzyme was then immobilized on glutamic acid-activated aluminum nanoparticles (GluAl₂O₃-GLNase NPs) for further characterization and evaluation of biological activity. Optimal TPP conditions-20 % (w/v) ammonium sulfate, a 1:1 (v/v) crude extract to t-butanol ratio, pH 7.

Resumption of the planktonic phase of the cell cycle necessitates degradation of certain morphological structures and physiological features that confer metabolic dormancy and multi-factorial resistance properties to the spore form of the bacterium. Depolymerization of the peptidoglycan cortex, which is crucial to maintenance of spore dormancy, constitutes a major germination event and is conducted by a complement of spore cortex lytic enzymes that are active only during spore germination. This work reports on the structure and function of the major cortex lytic enzymes in spores, revealing insight to their location, individual contributions to germination when triggered by different routes and regions of the SleB protein that are important for mediating interactions with its peptidoglycan substrate.

Introduction: Fungal L-glutaminase has recently attracted growing interest due to its potential applications in medical therapy and biotechnology. This study aimed to develop a cost-effective bioprocess for L-glutaminase production using agricultural by-products under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Several fungal isolates were screened for extracellular L-glutaminase production, and the native isolated strain Aspergillus tamarii AUMC 10198 was identified as a potent high-yield producer.
