The itinerary followed by Pseudomonas putida from being a soil-dweller and plant colonizer
bacterium to become a flexible and engineer-able platform for metabolic engineering stems …

Bioconversion of a heterogeneous mixture of lignin-related aromatic compounds (LRCs) to a
single product via microbial biocatalysts is a promising approach to valorize lignin. Here …

Synthetic plastics, which are widely present in materials of everyday use, are ubiquitous and
slowly‐degrading polymers in environmental wastes. Of special interest are the capabilities …

Abstract Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is the most abundantly consumed synthetic
polyester and accordingly a major source of plastic waste. The development of …

Elimination or mitigation of the toxic effects of chemical waste released to the environment
by industrial and urban activities relies largely on the catalytic activities of microorganisms …

The last few years have witnessed an unprecedented increase in the number of novel
bacterial species that hold potential to be used for metabolic engineering. Historically …

Lignocellulosic biomass represents a carbon neutral cheap and versatile source of carbon
which can be converted to biofuels. A pretreatment step is frequently used to make the …

Competitive sustainable production in industry demands new and better biocatalysts,
