Involvement of a quorum-sensing-regulated lipase secreted by a clinical isolate of Burkholderia glumae in severe disease symptoms in rice

Article Abstract:

The involvement of a quorum-sensing regulated lipase secreted by a clinical isolate of Burkholderia glumae (B. glumae) in severe disease symptoms in rice was investigated. It was seen that the first clinical isolate of B. glumae, strain AU6208 has retained its capability to be very pathogenic to rice and quorum sensing in B. glumae AU6208 regulates secreted LipA lipase and toxoflavin and B. glumae AU6208 lipA mutants were no longer pathogenic to rice.

Purification and characterization of an acetyl xylan esterase from Bacillus pumilus

Article Abstract:

The purification and biochemical characteristics of acetyl xylan esterase (AXE) from the Bacillus pumilus strain PS213 were examined. AXE is one of the accessory enzymes needed to interact with beta-xylosidases and xylanases for the complete and efficient degradation of the polymer xylan. The findings indicate that strong AXE and xylanase activities can be observed in B. pumilus PS213 and that AXE may be used for pulp biobleaching by xylanases.

Purification and properties of an esterase from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and identification of the encoding gene

Article Abstract:

Researchers describe the isolation of an enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that may convert formaldehyde to S-formylglutathione. The gene that produces the enzyme is also described.
