Partial purification and characterization of digestive trypsin-like proteases from the velvet bean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis.

TL;DR: The partially purified enzymes showing trypsin activity were sensitive to inhibition by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), phenylmethyl sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), N-alpha-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK), benzamidine and aprotinin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trypsin-like activity of membrane-bound midgut proteases from Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the presence of membrane- bound trypsin-like proteases in the midgut of the velvetbean caterpillar, a key soybean pest in warm climates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation of Azo Dyes: Bacterial Potential for Bioremediation

TL;DR: This review encompasses studies with promising results related to the use of bacteria in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with azo dyes in the most diverse techniques and parameters, both in environmental and laboratory samples, showcasing the importance of bacterial biore mediation, specialty in a scenario in an ever-increasing pursuit for sustainable production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cyanobacterial Polyhydroxyalkanoates: A Sustainable Alternative in Circular Economy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a circular economy for sustainable production of bioplastic: reducing production costs, reusing waste, mitigating CO2, promoting bioremediation and making better use of cyanobacteria metabolites in different industries.
