Analysis of structures and expression patterns of the flavin-containing monooxygenase family genes in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus by HAO Xin, TAN Ruina, CHEN Jie, LI Yang, CAO Jingxin, DIAO Jian, DENG Zhen, ZHANG Ping, MA Ling

“…Flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) participate in endogenous and exogenous metabolisms in organisms, and exist widely in plants, animals and microorganisms. To explore the function of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus FMOs (BxFMOs) in the host colonization and in response to the nematicide stress, we firstly screened and identified 13 Bxfmos from the genome of B. xylophilus by means of bioinformatics, and then analyzed the physicochemical properties, evolutionary development, protein structures, and gene expression patterns of these genes. …”

Enzymatic characterization and polyurethane biodegradation assay of two novel esterases isolated from a polluted river. by Arianna Soto-Hernández, Luis Felipe Muriel-Millán, Adolfo Gracia, Alejandro Sánchez-Flores, Liliana Pardo-López

“…Here, we used an environmental DNA sample isolated from the sediments of a polluted river in Mexico (Apatlaco River), which was used to construct a metagenomic fosmid library to explore the metabolic potential of microbial communities for polyurethane biodegradation. Functional screenings were performed on agar media containing the polyester polyurethane Impranil DLN (Impranil), and positively selected fosmid DNA was identified and sequenced by Illumina. …”

Combined analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing data reveals core vaginal bacteria across livestock species by Lucille C. Jonas, Lucille C. Jonas, Curtis R. Youngs, Stephan Schmitz-Esser, Stephan Schmitz-Esser

“…Recent publications have uncovered a high degree of variability of the livestock vaginal microbiota, making it difficult to focus functional research on individual microorganisms. To address this variability, we conducted a combined analysis of publicly available 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing datasets to reveal the core vaginal microbiota in cattle, sheep, and pigs. …”
