This paper uses neutron crystallography to determine the structure of β-glucosidase Td2F2 in different ligand states, revealing hydrogen bonding networks and structural changes in the catalytic center during covalent intermediate formation.

This study shows that increased cell volume and nuclear number in Aspergillus oryzae correlate with high enzyme productivity and identifies genetic and environmental factors involved.

The paper uses machine learning to optimize medium composition for improved production of foreign and native metabolites in Escherichia coli.

This study identifies a mutualistic mechanism between Aspergillus nidulans and Bacillus subtilis where bacterial thiamine supports fungal growth and fungal mycelia enable bacterial dispersal.
