TL;DR: It is shown that three ligands that are closely associated with the T1 copper in SLAC play a key role in maintaining enzymatic activity and its suitability as a template for engineering with the aim of widening its potential range of industrial applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the biodegradation and mineralization of ethanol by acclimated and non-acclimated microbial populations in pilot-scale constructed wetlands and demonstrated that the use of incremental priming, together with a vertical subsurface flow mode of operation enhanced long-term function of constructed wetlands.

TL;DR: Bacterial community profiling showed that the bacterial community structure in the sediments from the high population density site were resilient to environmental perturbations, as well as to exposure to silver nanoparticles, with the converse being true for the low density site.

TL;DR: This chapter will focus on selected oxi‐ dative enzymes found in actinobacteria, their potential for application in industrial processes and how to access and improve these enzymes to suit the required bio‐ process conditions.

TL;DR: The extracellular peroxidase from Streptomyces albidoflavus BSII#1 was purified to near homogeneity using sequential steps of acid and acetone precipitation, followed by ultrafiltration and was characterised and tested for the ability to catalyse coupling reactions between selected phenolic monomer pairs.
