Reichembach LH, de Oliveira Petkowicz CL. New findings on acid-extractable pectins from soy hull. Carbohydr Polym 2022; 294:119831.

Abstract
Soy hull has been considered a potential source of commercial pectin. The aim of the present study was to investigate its real potential as a source of pectin. Soy hull (sample 1) was extracted with 0.1 M HCl, for 45 min, at 90 °C (fraction A), conditions previously reported to result in yields and GalA in the range of commercial pectins. The extraction resulted in low uronic acid content (UA 39 %) and lower yield. Similar values were obtained using harsher conditions (boiling 0.14 M HNO3 for 30 min and 60 min - Fractions B and C, respectively). HSQC-NMR confirmed the coextraction of galactomannans. Considering the unexpected results, three other soy hull samples (2, 3 and 4) were used for extraction. The yields and UA were in the range of 10-13 % and 26-48 %, respectively, also below published data. Prior removal of galactomannan by water extraction increased the UA content to 62 % and gave rise to a pectin with a degree of methyl-esterification (DM) of 29 %. The pectin had remarkable amount of rhamnogalacturonan I and xylogalacturonan and did not form gel with calcium. The findings using four different commercial samples did not support previously published data and demonstrated that soy hull is not suitable as a raw material for production of food grade pectins by conventional extraction.

Abstract
In this study, we firstly reported the production and the structural characterization of a novel hetero-exopolysaccharide namely EPS-K2 from the extremely halophilc Halomonas smyrnensis K2. Results revealed that EPS-K2 was mainly composed of three monosaccharides including mannose (66.69%), glucose (19.54%) and galactose (13.77%). EPS-K2 showed high thermostability with a degradation temperature around 260 °C, which could make it a suitable candidate for application in thermal processes. Moreover, EPS-K2 showed attractive functional properties. In fact, it exhibited potent antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner as assessed in analyses of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, iron chelating and DNA protection ability. Furthermore, EPS-K2 showed strong adhesion inhibition activity against Enterococcus faecalis (75.52 ± 3.35%) and Escherichia coli (61.95 ± 2.48%) at 1 g/l concentration, as well as a high biofilm disruption activity especially against E. coli (70.73 ± 2.78%), at 2 g/l concentration. According to its biotechnological properties, EPS-K2 could be exploited as functional ingredient in food, biomedicine, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Knowledge of Antarctic habitat biodiversity, both marine and terrestrial, has increased considerably in recent years, causing considerable development in the studies of life science related to Antarctica. In the Austral summer 1986–1987, a new thermophilic bacterium, Parageobacillus thermantarcticus strain M1 was isolated from geothermal soil of the crater of Mount Melbourne (74°22′ S, 164°40′ E) during the Italian Antarctic Expedition. In addition to the biotechnological potential due to the production of exopolysaccharides and thermostable enzymes, successful studies have demonstrated its use in the green chemistry for the transformation and valorization of residual biomass and its employment as a suitable microbial model for astrobiology studies. The recent acquisition of its genome sequence opens up new opportunities for the use of this versatile bacterium in still unexplored biotechnology sectors.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass, encompassing cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in plant secondary cell walls (SCWs), is the most abundant source of renewable materials on earth. Currently, fast-growing woody dicots such as Eucalyptus and Populus trees are major lignocellulosic (wood fiber) feedstocks for bioproducts such as pulp, paper, cellulose, textiles, bioplastics and other biomaterials. Processing wood for these products entails separating the biomass into its three main components as efficiently as possible without compromising yield. Glucuronoxylan (xylan), the main hemicellulose present in the SCWs of hardwood trees carries chemical modifications that are associated with SCW composition and ultrastructure, and affect the recalcitrance of woody biomass to industrial processing. In this review we highlight the importance of xylan properties for industrial wood fiber processing and how gaining a greater understanding of xylan biosynthesis, specifically xylan modification, could yield novel biotechnology approaches to reduce recalcitrance or introduce novel processing traits. Altering xylan modification patterns has recently become a focus of plant SCW studies due to early findings that altered modification patterns can yield beneficial biomass processing traits. Additionally, it has been noted that plants with altered xylan composition display metabolic differences linked to changes in precursor usage. We explore the possibility of using systems biology and systems genetics approaches to gain insight into the coordination of SCW formation with other interdependent biological processes. Acetyl-CoA, s-adenosylmethionine and nucleotide sugars are precursors needed for xylan modification, however, the pathways which produce metabolic pools during different stages of fiber cell wall formation still have to be identified and their co-regulation during SCW formation elucidated. The crucial dependence on precursor metabolism provides an opportunity to alter xylan modification patterns through metabolic engineering of one or more of these interdependent pathways. The complexity of xylan biosynthesis and modification is currently a stumbling point, but it may provide new avenues for woody biomass engineering that are not possible for other biopolymers.

Abstract
Extreme marine environments have been the subject of many studies and scientific publications. For many years, these environmental niches, which are characterized by high or low temperatures, high-pressure, low pH, high salt concentrations and also two or more extreme parameters in combination, have been thought to be incompatible to any life forms. Thanks to new technologies such as metagenomics, it is now possible to detect life in most extreme environments. Starting from the discovery of deep sea hydrothermal vents up to the study of marine biodiversity, new microorganisms have been identified, and their potential uses in several applied fields have been outlined. Thermophile, halophile, alkalophile, psychrophile, piezophile and polyextremophile microorganisms have been isolated from these marine environments; they proliferate thanks to adaptation strategies involving diverse cellular metabolic mechanisms. Therefore, a vast number of new biomolecules such as enzymes, polymers and osmolytes from the inhabitant microbial community of the sea have been studied, and there is a growing interest in the potential returns of several industrial production processes concerning the pharmaceutical, medical, environmental and food fields.

Abstract
Wastes generated from fruits and vegetables are organic in nature and contribute a major share in soil and water pollution. Also, green house gas emission caused by fruit and vegetable wastes (FVWs) is a matter of serious environmental concern. This review addresses the developments over the last one decade on microbial processing technologies for production of enzymes and organic acids from FVWs. The advances in genetic engineering for improvement of microbial strains in order to enhance the production of the value added bio-products as well as the concept of zero-waste economy have been briefly discussed.

Abstract
Most of the reports in literature dedicated to the use of glycosyl hydrolases for the preparation of glycosides are about gluco- (α- and β-form) and galacto-sidase (β-form), reflecting the high-availability of both anomers of glucosides and of β-galactosides and their wide-ranging applications. Hence, the idea of this review was to analyze the literature focusing on hardly-mentioned natural and engineered glycosyl hydrolases. Their performances in the synthetic mode and natural hydrolytic potential are examined. Both the choice of articles and their discussion are from a biomolecular and a biotechnological perspective of the biocatalytic process, shedding light on new applicative ideas and on the assortment of biomolecular diversity. The hope is to elicit new interest for the development of biocatalysis and to gather attention of biocatalyst practitioners for glycosynthesis.

Abstract
As the only fuel that is not chemically bound to carbon, hydrogen has gained interest as an energy carrier to face the current environmental issues of greenhouse gas emissions and to substitute the depleting non-renewable reserves. In the last years, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications about the bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana that is responsible for production yields of H2 that are among the highest achievements reported in the literature. Here we present an extensive overview of the most recent studies on this hyperthermophilic bacterium together with a critical discussion of the potential of fermentative production by this bacterium. The review article is organized into sections focused on biochemical, microbiological and technical issues, including the effect of substrate, reactor type, gas sparging, temperature, pH, hydraulic retention time and organic loading parameters on rate and yield of gas production.
