Abstract
The present study reports the structural and functional characterization of a new glutaminase-free recombinant L-asparaginase (PrASNase) from Pseudomonas resinovorans IGS-131. PrASNase showed substrate specificity to L-asparagine, and its kinetic parameters, Km, Vmax, and kcat were 9.49 × 10-3 M, 25.13 IUmL-1 min-1, and 3.01 × 103 s-1, respectively. The CD spectra showed that PrASNase consisted of 18.5 % helix, 21.5 % antiparallel sheets, 4.2 % parallel sheets, 14 % turns, and rest other structures. FTIR was used for the functional characterization, and molecular docking predicted that the substrate interacts with serine, alanine, and glutamine in the binding pocket of PrASNase. Differing from known asparaginases, structural characterization by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) unambiguously revealed PrASNase to exist as a monomer in solution at low temperatures and oligomerized to a higher state with temperature rise. Through SAXS studies and enzyme assay, PrASNase was found to be mostly monomer and catalytically active at 37 °C. Furthermore, this glutaminase-free PrASNase showed killing effects against WIL2-S and TF-1.28 cells with IC50 of 7.4 μg.mL-1 and 5.6 μg.mL-1, respectively. This is probably the first report with significant findings of fully active L-asparaginase in monomeric form using SAXS and AUC and demonstrated the potential of PrASNase in inhibiting cancerous cells, making it a potential therapeutic candidate.

Abstract
Coffee waste is an abundant biomass that can be converted into high value chemical products, and is used in various renewable biological processes. In this study, oil was extracted from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) and used for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production through Pseudomonas resinovorans. The oil-extracted SCGs (OESCGs) were hydrolyzed and used for biohydrogen production through Clostridium butyricum DSM10702. The oil extraction yield through n-hexane was 14.4%, which accounted for 97% of the oil present in the SCGs. OESCG hydrolysate (OESCGH) had a sugar concentration of 32.26 g/L, which was 15.4% higher than that of the SCG hydrolysate (SCGH) (27.96 g/L). Hydrogen production using these substrates was 181.19 mL and 136.58 mL in OESCGH and SCGH media, respectively. The consumed sugar concentration was 6.77 g/L in OESCGH and 5.09 g/L in SCGH media. VFA production with OESCGH (3.58 g/L) increased by 40.9% compared with SCGH (2.54 g/L). In addition, in a fed-batch culture using the extracted oil, cell dry weight was 5.4 g/L, PHA was 1.6 g/L, and PHA contents were 29.5% at 24 h.

Abstract
The utilization of microorganisms with biocontrol activity against fungal and bacterial pathogens of plants is recognized as a promising, effective, and environment-friendly strategy to protect agricultural crops. We report the glyphosate-tolerant Pseudomonas resinovorans SZMC 25872 isolate as a novel strain with antagonistic potential towards the plant pathogenic bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. In our studies, the growth of the P. resinovorans SZMC 25872 and A. tumefaciens SZMC 14557 isolates in the presence of 74 different carbon sources, and the effect of 11 carbon sources utilized by both strains on the biocontrol efficacy was examined. Seven variations of media with different carbon sources were selected for the assays to observe the biocontrol potential of the P. resinovorans strain. Also, 50% concentrations of the cell-free culture filtrates (CCF) obtained from medium amended with L-alanine or succinic acid as sole carbon source were found to be effective for the growth suppression of A. tumefaciens by 83.03 and 56.80%, respectively. The effect of 7 media on siderophore amount and the activity of extracellular trypsin- and chymotrypsin-like proteases, as well as esterases were also evaluated. Significant positive correlation was found between the siderophore amount and the percentage of inhibition, and the inhibitory effect of the CCFs obtained from medium amended with succinic acid was eliminated in the presence of an additional iron source, suggesting that siderophores produced by P. resinovorans play an important role in its antagonistic potential. The metabolic profile analysis of the P. resinovorans SZMC 25872 strain, performed by high performance liquid chromatography - high resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS), has identified several previously not reported metabolites that might play role in the antagonistic effect against A. tumefaciens. Based on our findings we suggest that the possible inhibition modes of A. tumefaciens SZMC 14557 by P. resinovorans SZMC 25872 include siderophore-mediated suppression, extracellular enzyme activities and novel bioactive metabolites.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a biodegradable plastic that can be used to replace petroleum-based plastic. In addition, as a medium-chain-length PHA (mcl-PHA), it can be used to provide elastomeric properties in specific applications. Because of these characteristics, recently, there has been much research on mcl-PHA production using inexpensive biomass materials as substrates. In this study, mcl-PHA producers were screened using alkanes (n-octane, n-decane, and n-dodecane) as sources of carbon. The amount of PHA produced by Pseudomonas resinovorans using sole n-octane, n-decane, or n-dodecane was 0.48 g/L, 0.27 g/L, or 0.07 g/L, respectively, while that produced using mixed alkane was 0.74 g/L. As a larger amount of PHA was produced using mixed alkane compared with sole alkane, a statistical mixture analysis was used to determine the optimal ratio of alkanes in the mixture. The optimal ratio predicted by the analysis was a medium with 9.15% n-octane, 6.44% n-decane, and 4.29% n-dodecane. In addition, through several concentration-specific experiments, the optimum concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus for cell growth and maximum PHA production were determined as 0.05% and 1.0%, respectively. Finally, under the determined optimal conditions, 2.1 g/L of mcl-PHA and 60% PHA content were obtained using P. resinovorans in a 7 L fermenter.

Abstract
Background Microbial community is one of the diversified communities of the marine environment. Studies have shown that microorganisms isolated from the marine environment are metabolically active and have adapted to life in the ocean. The marine microorganisms use various survival strategies to combat heavy metal stress and decolorization of various textile dyes, thus playing an important role in the bioremediation of cadmium and degradation of textile dyes. The present study deals with the isolation and 16S rRNA molecular characterization of M3 and M8 bacterial strains isolated from marine water samples collected from Visakhapatnam harbor. M3 and M8 isolates were also checked for their efficacy in the removal of cadmium and decolorization of various textile dyes from the environment. Results The water sample was subjected to tube dilution method to isolate bacterial strains, and ten different isolates were screened. The biochemical tests were performed for the isolates to prove their validity and 16S rRNA molecular sequencing and phylogenetic analysis for species identification. Out of interest, two bacterial strains, namely, M3 and M8 were subjected to 16S rRNA molecular sequencing and phylogenetic analysis and were identified as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas resinovorans. The two bacterial strains showed promising dye degradation property when checked with nine different textile dyes of wavelength ranging from 400 to 600 nm and removal of cadmium from the growth medium. Conclusion The present study demonstrates the isolates M3 and M8 to be potential strains having dye decolorization and bioremediation of cadmium applications.

Abstract
The application of plant growth-promoting bacteria in agricultural systems is an efficient and environment-friendly strategy to improve crop yields and maintain soil quality. However, as different soils have diverse and specific ecological characteristics and may represent adverse abiotic conditions, in vivo application requires the careful selection of the desired beneficial microorganisms. In this study we report Ensifer adhaerens SZMC 25856 and Pseudomonas resinovorans SZMC 25875 isolates recovered from glyphosate-treated soil to possess yet undiscovered plant growth-enhancing potential. The strains were found to promote the growth of tomato seedlings significantly, to have the ability of synthesizing indole-3-acetic acid and siderophores, to tolerate pH in the range of 6.59-7.96, salinity up to 12.5 g L-1 NaCl and drought up to 125 g L-1 polyethylene glycol 6000, as well as to survive in the presence of various pesticides including glyphosate, diuron, chlorotoluron, carbendazim and thiabendazole, and heavy metals such as Al, Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb and Cu. The plant growth-promoting traits of the examined E. adhaerens and P. resinovorans isolates and their tolerance to numerous abiotic stress factors make them promising candidates for application in different agricultural environments, including soils polluted with glyphosate.

Abstract
In the current study, the production of novel glutaminase free l-asparaginase from a new microbial source (Pseudomonas resinovorans IGS-131) is reported. Optimization of l-asparaginase production using conventional and statistical optimization techniques resulted in an enzyme yield of 37.63 IU/mL, which was 3.45-fold higher than the initial enzyme activity (i.e., 10.91 IU/mL). l-Asparaginase production from P. resinovorans IGS-131 was successfully carried out at the bioreactor level and investigations on the effect of agitation rates showed a maximum asparaginase yield of 38.88 IU/mL after 24 h fermentation at 400 rpm. The l-asparaginase gene from this source, showing 78% identity with a reported sequence in GenBank, was expressed in Escherichia coli rosetta DE3. The molecular weight of the recombinant protein was determined as 35.6 kDa. Downstream processing of recombinant l-asparaginase resulted in a purified protein concentration of 62.53 mg/L, which showed good free radical scavenging activity of 62%. The current findings provide promising results for a process of l-asparaginase production from P. resinovorans IGS-131. Furthermore, the recombinant production of this enzyme could help in avoiding the complexity of down streaming processes associated with the purification of this enzyme from wild-type organisms.
