In order to ensure a proper functioning of cell replication and proteins and nucleic acids synthesis processes, folate metabolism rate is also increased in these cases. For this reason, folic acid antagonists have been used since their discovery to treat different kinds of microbial infections, taking advantage of this metabolic difference when compared with human cells. However, resistances to these compounds have emerged since then and only combined therapies are currently used in clinic. In addition, some of these compounds have been found to have an immunomodulatory behavior that allows clinicians using them as anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive drugs. Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an updated state-of-the-art on the use of antifolates as antibacterial and immunomodulating agents in the clinical setting, as well as to present their action mechanisms and currently investigated biomedical applications. Keywords: folic acid antagonists; antifolates; antibiotics; antibacterials; immunomodulation; sulfonamides; antimalarial 1.

The poor stability and productivity of the Keywords: available PET biocatalysts hinder their industrial applications. Active PET biocatalysts can provide a promising Plastic waste avenue for PET bioconversion and recycling. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new strategies that Poly(ethylene terephthalate) could enhance the stability, catalytic activity, solubility, productivity, and re-usability of these PET biocatalysts Recycling under harsh conditions such as high temperatures, pH, and salinity. This has raised great attention in using Biocatalysts ’ Bioengineering bioengineering strategies to improve PET biocatalysts robustness and catalytic behavior.

  • Roles of Vitamin Metabolizing Genes in Multidrug-Resistant Plasmids of Superbugs

Roles of Vitamin Metabolizing Genes in Multidrug-Resistant Plasmids of Superbugs Asit Kumar Chakraborty, Genetic Engineering Laboratory, Department of Biotechnology & Biochemistry, Oriental Institute of Science & Technology, Vidyasagar University, Midnapore 721102, West Bengal, India. Abstract Superbug crisis has rocked this world with million deaths due to failure of potent antibiotics. Thousands mdr genes with hundreds of mutant isomers are generated. Small integrons and R-plasmids have combined with F'-plasmids creating a space for >10-20 of mdr genes that inactivate antibiotics in different mechanisms. Mdr genes are created to save bacteria from antibiotics because gut microbiota synthesize >20 vitamins and complex bio-molecules needed for >30000 biochemical reactions of human metabolosome. In other words, mdr gene creation is protected from both sides, intestinal luminal cells and gut bacteria in a tight symbiotic signalling system. We have proposed, to avert the crisis all vitamin metabolizing genes will be acquired in MDR- plasmids if we continue oral antibiotics therapy. Therefore, we have checked the plasmid databases and have detected thiamine, riboflavin, folate, cobalamine and biotin metabolizing enzymes in MDR plasmids. Thus vit genes may mobilise recently into MDR-plasmids and are likely essential for gut microbiota protection. Analysis found that cob and thi genes are abundant and likely very essential than other vit genes.

  • 2019 Abstracts
    We are delighted EDITORIAL to welcome the worldwide yeast community in Gothenburg for ICYGMB2019! The “International Yeast Conferences” started in the 1960s with a handful of delegates and since then have become THE most important event in yeast research. Now the yeast meeting to returns to Gothenburg. Many yeast researchers still remember the meeting in 2003 with over 1,100 delegates, a truly memorable event. The Life Sciences are changing, and yeast research remains at their forefront. Advancements in genome sequencing and genome editing just make yeast more exciting as model organism in basic cell biological research, genome evolution and as a tool for synthetic biology and biotechnology. One of the most important reasons for the enormous success of yeast research lies in the unique character of the international yeast research community. No other community employs such a free exchange and access to information and research tools. Nor has any other community had the ability to build – even intercontinental – consortia of critical mass to tackle large‐scale projects, such as in sequencing the first eukaryotic genome or the first comprehensive yeast knockout library. Yeast2019 is the meeting of the international yeast research community where the latest, and even unpublished results are exchanged, and new projects, alliances, and collaborations are founded. A do‐not‐miss‐event. We attempt to incorporate the present excitement in yeast research in the programme of yeast2019. We are confident that this conference will contain important news and information for all yeast researchers. Taken together, yeast2019 will provide an up‐ to‐date overview in yeast research and it will set the scene for years to come.

I will always remember you saying, "Oh, sweetie, too many sighs! If you are not having fun (with the dissertation research) then something is wrong." Thank you for not only patiently drawing out my best work, but for making the process a delightful one. Janaki, thank you for all I am learning from you in Spark and through this process. Abi joined my committee officially in my final semester, but had already been giving me encouragement and support for many years. It is much appreciated. I'd like to thank Charles Curtin, who served on my committee for a time, but due to extenuating circumstances, was not able to continue in that role.

    GREEN AND SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY CHIMIA 2019, 73, No. 9 743 doi:10.2533/chimia.2019.743 Chimia 73 (2019) 743–749 © Swiss Chemical Society Enzymatic PET Degradation Athena Papadopoulou§, Katrin Hecht§, and Rebecca Buller* Abstract: Plastic, in the form of packaging material, disposables, clothing and other articles with a short lifespan, has become an indispensable part of our everyday life. The increased production and use of plastic, however, accelerates the accumulation of plastic waste and poses an increasing burden on the environment with negative effects on biodiversity and human health. PET, a common thermoplastic, is recycled in many countries via ther- mal, mechanical and chemical means. Recently, several enzymes have been identified capable of degrading this recalcitrant plastic, opening possibilities for the biological recycling of the omnipresent material. In this review, we analyze the current knowledge of enzymatic PET degradation and discuss advances in improving the involved enzymes via protein engineering. Looking forward, the use of plastic degrading enzymes may facilitate sustain- able plastic waste management and become an important tool for the realization of a circular plastic economy.

Introduction and received her BSc from the University Plastic has become an omnipresent material in our daily life of Ioannina. She completed her MSc in and, as a consequence, the plastic industry has become the seventh Chemistry with a focus on Chemical and most important industry in Europe, employing more than 1.5 mil- Biochemical Technologies. In 2013 she lion people with a turnover of 355 billion Euros in 2017.[1] Plastic moved to Biotechnology group at the production is cheap and the generated plastic items are durable University of Ioannina to pursue her PhD and versatile.
