A metagenomic analysis focusing on gene abundance comparisons may provide new guidance to optimize soil decontamination under cold environmental conditions. The soil used in this study was sampled from Dalian, from which an indigenous consortium was isolated. The degradative soil systems, initially categorized into control (DLC) and experimental (DLD) groups, were kept at room temperature (20 ± 5 °C) for six weeks. The DLD group was subsequently transferred to a low-temperature environment (5–10 °C) for 90 days and renamed DDL. A petroleum removal rate of 74.59 % was achieved in the process from DLD to DDL groups. Each soil sample was subjected to analysis and metagenomic sequencing. The abundance of genes of interest was compared between pathways to determine trends. The findings demonstrate that psychrophilic degradation is more effective than natural remediation is. The soil microbial community structure displayed site specificity, with 802 genes in DDL associated with 249 pathways, indicating greater abundance of psychrophilic genes in DDL than in DLC. The abundance of key genes was at different orders of magnitude but showed similar trends. The abundance of genes associated with hydrocarbon-related metabolism surpassed that of genes associated with sphingolipid, fatty acid, or benzene metabolism. This study provides valuable insights into psychrophilic microbe-driven petroleum degradation and indicates the need for precise supplementation of biosurfactants to improve remediation efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11770,"journal":{"name":"Enzyme and Microbial Technology","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 110642"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This capping structure is essential for protecting mRNA from degradation, facilitating pre-mRNA splicing and nuclear export, and enabling translation initiation by the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF4E). Moreover, it helps the virus circumvent innate immune responses, thereby facilitating replication using host cell mechanisms. Currently, the enzymatic capping process employs VCE and VP39 in concert with pre-mRNA to synthesize Cap1 mRNA directly. This study introduces an engineered fusion capping enzyme , created by linking VCE and VP39 via a flexible (GGGGS)<sub>3</sub> linker(D1R-D12L-GS linker-VP39, DDGSV). The aim is to enhance the capping reaction while reducing raw material costs, process complexity, and impurities. The tertiary structure of DDGSV, predicted using AlphaFold2, aligns well with published structures of VCE and VP39, demonstrating no steric hindrance at the enzymatic active sites resulting from the fusion configuration. The expression vector pTolo-EX2-DDGSV was constructed and expressed in <em>Escherichia coli</em> BL21(DE3). The mRNA of the prepared capping enzymes exhibited good integrity on an agarose gel. The capping efficiency of the engineered enzyme DDGSV reached 80.19 % after 2 h of the capping reaction, matching the performance of commercial capping enzymes. Furthermore, the potential of RNA dot blotting for rapid detection of mRNA capping efficiency was explored; however, quantitative methods are also needed. Additionally, GFP mRNA prepared using DDGSV demonstrated high expression levels in HEK 293 T cells.

PG was produced through bacterial culture, purified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC), characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. <em>In vitro</em>, PG effectively inhibited key inflammatory enzymes, such as phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and elastase (ELA), in a dose-dependent manner, achieving maximum inhibition rates of 85.3 and 91.4 % at concentrations of 320 µg/mL, with IC₅₀ values of 63 µg/mL and 54.7 µg/mL, respectively. PG also exhibited a maximum inhibition of 82.4 % for myeloperoxidase (MPO) at a concentration of 160 µg/mL, with an IC₅₀ value of 25.9 µg/mL. This indicates that PG is a good candidate for treating these two metabolic diseases.
