Agro-Industrial Waste Valorization for Biopolymer Production and Life-Cycle Assessment Toward Circular Bioeconomy

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the nutritional values of waste, process operation, and downstream steps involved in product recovery, and highlights the benefits of waste valorization from the environmental and economic viewpoint via reducing the quantity of waste disposed and greenhouse gas emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A specific oligosaccharide-binding site in the alternansucrase catalytic domain mediates alternan elongation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the SBS-A1 site is unique to alternansucrase and appears to be designed to bind alternating structures, acting as a mediator between the catalytic site and the sugar-binding pockets of domain V and contributing to a processive elongation of alternan chains.

Links between S-adenosylmethionine and Agr-based quorum sensing for biofilm development in Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e.

TL;DR: It is found that exogenously applied SAM induced biofilm formation and that the expression of genes encoding the EPS synthesis machineries was regulated by SAM and/or Agr QS, revealing an interconnection at the transcriptional level between metabolism and QS in L. monocytogenes.
