TL;DR: Four genetic traits have been identified that increase furfural tolerance in ethanol-producing Escherichia coli LY180 (strain W derivative) and succinate biocatalysts and may prove useful for other renewable chemicals from lignocellulosic sugars.

TL;DR: Direct evolution using iterative saturation mutagenesis (ISM) has been tested as a means to engineer LEH mutants showing broad substrate scope with high stereoselectivity and these mutants prove to be excellent catalysts for the desymmetrization of other meso-epoxides and for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of racemic substrates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of bensulfuron-methyl by microorganisms cultured with different sources of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus was investigated, and the degradation ratio reached 79.5%, whereas only 34.6 and 29.7% were removed in the presence of glucose and sucrose.

TL;DR: The results obtained are beneficial to select carbonation process and guide the rational application of hydrochar and biochar from pig manure in soil remediation field.

TL;DR: A unique advantage of this bacterium in promoting OTC degradation in alkaline environments was demonstrated, where it successfully competed with the indigenous microbiota and largely decreased the relative abundances of the studied tetracycline resistance genes (tetB and tetW) in soil.
