CT-based radiomics can identify physiological modifications of bone structure related to subjects' age and sex.

Radiomics of vertebral bone structure is a promising technique for identification of osteoporosis. We aimed at assessing the accuracy of machine learning in identifying physiological changes related to subjects' sex and age through analysis of radiomics features from CT images of lumbar vertebrae, and define its generalizability across different scanners. We annotated spherical volumes-of-interest (VOIs) in the center of the vertebral body for each lumbar vertebra in 233 subjects who had undergone lumbar CT for back pain on 3 different scanners, and we evaluated radiomics features from each VOI. Subjects with history of bone metabolism disorders, cancer, and vertebral fractures were excluded. We performed machine learning classification and regression models to identify subjects' sex and age respectively, and we computed a voting model which combined predictions. The model was trained on 173 subjects and tested on an internal validation dataset of 60. Radiomics was able to identify subjects' sex within single CT scanner (ROC AUC: up to 0.9714), with lower performance on the combined dataset of the 3 scanners (ROC AUC: 0.5545). Higher consistency among different scanners was found in identification of subjects' age (R2 0.568 on all scanners, MAD 7.232years), with highest results on a single CT scanner (R2 0.667, MAD 3.296years). Radiomics features are able to extract biometric data from lumbar trabecular bone, and determine bone modifications related to subjects' sex and age with great accuracy. However, acquisition from different CT scanners reduces the accuracy of the analysis.

Rootstock-mediated carbohydrate metabolism, nutrient contents, and physiological modifications in regular and alternate mango (Mangifera indica L.) scion varieties.

Most of the popular scion varieties of mango possess alternate/irregular bearing. There are many external and internal factors assigned, among them carbohydrate reserves, and nutrient content plays important roles in the floral induction process in many crop species. In addition to that rootstock can alter the carbohydrate reserve and nutrient acquisition of scion varieties in fruit crops. The present investigation was carried out to understand the effect of rootstocks on the physiochemical traits of leaf, and bud and nutrient content in regular and alternate bearing varieties of mango. The rootstock "Kurukkan" promoted starch content in leaves of both alternate bearing varieties 'Dashehari' (5.62 mg/g) and regular 'Amrapali' (5.49 mg/g) and encouraged higher protein content (6.71 mg/g) and C/N ratio (37.94) in buds of alternate bearing 'Dashehari'. While Olour rootstock upregulated the reducing sugar in leaves of 'Amrapali' (43.56 mg/g) and promoted K (1.34%) and B (78.58 ppm) content in reproductive buds of 'Dashehari'. Stomatal density in 'Dashehari' scion variety was found higher on Olour rootstock (700.40/mm 2), while the rootstock fails to modify stomatal density in the scion variety regular bearer 'Amrapali'. Further, a total of 30 carbohydrate metabolism-specific primers were designed and validated in 15 scion/rootstock combinations. A total of 33 alleles were amplified among carbohydrate metabolism-specific markers, which varied from 2 to 3 alleles with a mean of 2.53 per locus. Maximum and minimum PIC value was found for NMSPS10, and NMTPS9 primers (0.58). Cluster analysis revealed that scion grafted on Kurukkan rootstock clustered together except 'Pusa Arunima' on Olour rootstock. Our analysis revealed that Fe is the key component that is commonly expressed in both leaf and bud. Although Stomatal density (SD) and Intercellular CO2 Concentration (Ci) are more specific to leaf and Fe, B, and total sugar (TS) are abundant in buds. Based on the results it can be inferred that the physiochemical and nutrient responses of mango scion varieties are manipulated by the rootstock, hence, the scion-rootstock combination can be an important consideration in mango for selecting suitable rootstock for alternate/irregular bearer varieties.

Chronic kidney disease in children: an update.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major healthcare issue worldwide. However, the prevalence of pediatric CKD has never been systematically assessed and consistent information is lacking in this population. The current definition of CKD is based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the extent of albuminuria. Given the physiological age-related modification of GFR in the first years of life, the definition of CKD is challenging per se in the pediatric population, resulting in high risk of underdiagnosis in this population, treatment delays and untailored clinical management. The advent and spreading of massive-parallel sequencing technology has prompted a profound revision of the epidemiology and the causes of CKD in children, supporting the hypothesis that CKD is much more frequent than currently reported in children and adolescents. This acquired knowledge will eventually converge in the identification of the molecular pathways and cellular response to damage, with new specific therapeutic targets to control disease progression and clinical features of children with CKD. In this review, we will focus on recent innovations in the field of pediatric CKD and in particular those where advances in knowledge have become available in the last years, with the aim of providing a new perspective on CKD in children and adolescents.

Evidence for heterothermic endothermy and reptile-like eggshell mineralization in Troodon, a non-avian maniraptoran theropod

The dinosaur-bird transition involved several anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological modifications of the theropod bauplan. Non-avian maniraptoran theropods, such as Troodon, are key to better understand changes in thermophysiology and reproduction occurring during this transition. Here, we applied dual clumped isotope (Δ47 and Δ48) thermometry, a technique that resolves mineralization temperature and other nonthermal information recorded in carbonates, to eggshells from Troodon, modern reptiles, and modern birds. Troodon eggshells show variable temperatures, namely 42 and 29 ± 2 °C, supporting the hypothesis of an endothermic thermophysiology with a heterothermic strategy for this extinct taxon. Dual clumped isotope data also reveal physiological differences in the reproductive systems between Troodon, reptiles, and birds. Troodon and modern reptiles mineralize their eggshells indistinguishable from dual clumped isotope equilibrium, while birds precipitate eggshells characterized by a positive disequilibrium offset in Δ48. Analyses of inorganic calcites suggest that the observed disequilibrium pattern in birds is linked to an amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) precursor, a carbonate phase known to accelerate eggshell formation in birds. Lack of disequilibrium patterns in reptile and Troodon eggshells implies these vertebrates had not acquired the fast, ACC-based eggshell calcification process characteristic of birds. Observation that Troodon retained a slow reptile-like calcification suggests that it possessed two functional ovaries and was limited in the number of eggs it could produce; thus its large clutches would have been laid by several females. Dual clumped isotope analysis of eggshells of extinct vertebrates sheds light on physiological information otherwise inaccessible in the fossilrecord.

Sleep Deprivation and Insomnia in Adolescence: Implications for Mental Health.

Sleep changes significantly throughout the human lifespan. Physiological modifications in sleep regulation, in common with many mammals (especially in the circadian rhythms), predispose adolescents to sleep loss until early adulthood. Adolescents are one-sixth of all human beings and are at high risk for mental diseases (particularly mood disorders) and self-injury. This has been attributed to the incredible number of changes occurring in a limited time window that encompasses rapid biological and psychosocial modifications, which predispose teens to at-risk behaviors. Adolescents' sleep patterns have been investigated as a biunivocal cause for potential damaging conditions, in which insufficient sleep may be both a cause and a consequence of mental health problems. The recent COVID-19 pandemic in particular has made a detrimental contribution to many adolescents' mental health and sleep quality. In this review, we aim to summarize the knowledge in the field and to explore implications for adolescents' (and future adults') mental and physical health, as well as to outline potential strategies of prevention.

High resolution protein in-cell NMR in zebrafish embryos

In-cell NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool to evaluate protein conformations and dynamics in the native environment of live cells. Here we extend these studies to a multicellular developing vertebrate. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos are complex organisms with dynamic tissue organization and may be well suited for the high resolution NMR analysis of microinjected, isotopically enriched proteins. We used the intrinsically disordered protein Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) as a test model. aSyn has been thoroughly evaluated inside bacterial and mammalian cells, providing good reference points for NMR comparisons and the critical analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the zebrafish system. High resolution 2D 1H-15N NMR showed that aSyn in zebrafish embryos had the same conformational and biological features previously observed in mammalian cells, including conserved interactions with cellular biomolecules and the establishment of physiological protein post-translational modifications. A direct comparative analysis of gamma-synuclein (gSyn), a naturally occurring homolog of aSyn, in bacteria, mammalian cells and zebrafish embryos confirmed these observations. Our results showed that high resolution in-cell NMR is attainable in embryonic cells within the native environment of a live animal. This system provides more physiological cellular environments for high resolution, in situ protein biophysical studies.

Clinical and experimental treatment of allergic asthma with an emphasis on allergen immunotherapy and its mechanisms.

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is currently the only form of treatment that modifies allergic asthma. Pharmacotherapy alone seeks to control the symptoms of allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and other atopic conditions. In contrast, AIT can induce long-term physiological modifications through the immune system. AIT enables individuals to live improved lives many years after treatment ends, where they are desensitized to the allergen(s) used or no longer have significant allergic reactions upon allergen provocation. The leading forms of treatment with AIT involve injections of allergen extracts with increasing doses via the subcutaneous route or drops/tablets via the sublingual route for several years. Since the initial attempts at this treatment as early as 1911 by Leonard Noon, the mechanisms by which AIT operates remain unclear. This literature-based review provides the primary care practitioner with a current understanding of the mechanisms of AIT, including its treatment safety, protocols, and long-term efficacy. The primary mechanisms underlying AIT include changes in immunoglobulin classes (IgA, IgE, and IgG), immunosuppressive regulatory T-cell induction, helper T cell type 2 to helper T cell type 1 cell/cytokine profile shifts, decreased early-phase reaction activity and mediators, and increased production of IL-10, IL-35, TGF-β, and IFN-γ. Using the databases PubMed and Embase, a selective literature search was conducted searching for English, full-text, reviews published between 2015 and 2022 using the keywords (with wildcards) "allerg*," "immunotherap*," "mechanis*," and "asthma." Among the cited references, additional references were identified using a manual search.

A transgenerational study on the effect of great-granddam birth month on granddaughter EBV for production traits in Italian Simmental cattle

Heat tolerance is a key feature of resilient animals. Offspring of animals that suffer environmental stress during pregnancy could show physiological, morphological, and metabolic modifications. This is due to a dynamic reprogramming of the epigenetics of the mammalian genome that occurs in the early life cycle. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the extent of the transgenerational effect of heat stress during the pregnancy of Italian Simmental cows. The effects of dam and granddam birth months (as indicator of pregnancy period) on their daughter and granddaughter estimated breeding values (EBV) for some dairy traits as well as of the temperature-humidity index (THI) during the pregnancy were tested. A total of 128,437 EBV (milk, fat, and protein yields, and somatic cell score) were provided by the Italian Association of Simmental Breeders. The best birth months (of both dam and granddam) for milk yield and protein yield were May and June, whereas the worst were January and March. Great-granddam pregnancies developed during the winter and spring seasons positively affected the EBV for milk and protein yields of their great-granddaughters; in contrast, pregnancies during summer and autumn had negative effects. These findings were confirmed by the effects of maximum and minimum THI in different parts of the great-granddam pregnancy on the performances of their great-granddaughters. Thus, a negative effect of high temperatures during the pregnancy of female ancestors was observed. Results of the present study suggest a transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in Italian Simmental cattle due to environmental stressors.

Genomic architecture underlying morphological and physiological adaptation to high elevation in a songbird.

Organisms often acquire physiological and morphological modifications to conquer ecological challenges when colonizing new environments which lead to their adaptive evolution. However, deciphering the genomic mechanism of ecological adaptation is difficult because ecological environments are often too complex for straightforward interpretation. Thus, we examined the adaptation of a widespread songbird-the rufous-capped babbler (Cyanoderma ruficeps)-to a relatively simple system: distinct environments across elevational gradients on the mountainous island of Taiwan. We focused on the genomic sequences of 43 birds from five populations to show that the Taiwan group split from its sister group in mainland China around 1-2 million years ago (Ma) and colonized the montane habitats of Taiwan at least twice around 0.03-0.22 Ma. The montane and lowland Taiwan populations diverged with gene flow between them, suggesting strong selection associated with different elevations. We found that the montane babblers had smaller beaks than the lowland ones, consistent with Allen's rule, and identified candidate genes-COL9A1 and SOX11-underlying the beak size changes. We also found that altitudinally divergent mutations were mostly located in noncoding regions and tended to accumulate in chromosomal inversions and autosomes. The altitudinally divergent mutations might regulate genes related to haematopoietic, metabolic, immune, auditory and vision functions, as well as cerebrum morphology and plumage development. The results reveal the genomic bases of morphological and physiological adaptation in this species to the low temperature, hypoxia and high UV light environment at high elevation. These findings improve our understanding of how ecological adaptation drives population divergence from the perspective of genomic architecture.

Custom ocular prosthesis with modification in impression and iris button for rehabilitation of post-enucleation eye defect: a case report

Loss of eye have physiologic and social impact on patients, especially in pediatric patients. To overcome this problem ocular prosthesis can be made similar with the color, shape, size and movement of the patient’s eye, so the ocular prosthesis can look like natural eye. The various methods, techniques and concepts documented in this case re-port with modifications to the physiologic impression and making of iris buttons aim to get the better movement of the prosthesis and 3D profile of the iris. A 6-years-old female patient came to the USU Dental Hospital to fabricate a new eye prosthesis. The patient had a medical history of retinoblastoma at the age of 2 years and had enucleation surgery. The eye is rehabilitated with fabrication of a custom ocular prosthesis with modifications on physiologic im-pression and iris button making. Modifications to physiologic impression and modifications to the fabrication of iris buttons will provide movement, shape and 3D effects of iris that are better than stock eye prosthesis. It is concluded that custom ocular prosthesis with modification on physiologic impression provide a better and more natural move-ment. While modification on making iris button using customized iris button cuvette will facilitate the process of ma-king iris button.

How voles adapt to subterranean lifestyle: Insights from RNA-seq

Life under the earth surface is highly challenging and associated with a number of morphological, physiological and behavioral modifications. Subterranean niche protects animals from predators, fluctuations in environmental parameters, but is characterized by high levels of carbon dioxide and low levels of oxygen and implies high energy requirements associated with burrowing. Moreover, it lacks most of the sensory inputs available above ground. The current study describes results from RNA-seq analysis of four subterranean voles from subfamily Arvicolinae:Prometheomys schaposchnikowi,Ellobius lutescens,Terricola subterraneus, andLasiopodomys mandarinus. Original RNA-seq data were obtained for eight species, for nine species, SRA data were downloaded from the NCBI SRA database. Additionally assembled transcriptomes of Mynomes ochrogaster and Cricetulus griseus were included in the analysis. We searched for the selection signatures and parallel amino acid substitutions in a total of 19 species. Even within this limited data set, we found significant changes ofdN/dSratio by free-ratio model analysis for subterranean Arvicolinae. Parallel substitutions were detected in genesRAD23BandPYCR2. These genes are associated with DNA repair processes and response to oxidative stress. Similar substitutions were discovered in theRAD23genes for highly specialized subterraneanHeterocephalus glaberandFukomys damarensis. The most pronounced signatures of adaptive evolution related to subterranean niche within species of Arvicolinae subfamily were detected forEllobius lutescens. Our results suggest that genomic adaptations can occur very quickly so far as the amount of selection signatures was found to be compliant with the degree of specialization to the subterranean niche and independent from the evolutionary age of the taxon. We found that the number of genomic signatures of selection does not depend on the age of the taxon, but is positively correlated with the degree of specialization to the subterranean niche.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the mating-responsive genes in the male accessory glands of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

BackgroundMating elicits significant changes in gene expression and leads to subsequent physiological and behavioural modifications in insects. The reproductive success of both sexes is contributed immensely by the male accessory gland (MAG) proteins that are transferred along with sperms to the female reproductive tract during mating where they facilitate several processes that modify the post-mating behaviour. The mating-responsive genes in the MAGs have been identified and reported in many insects but have not been well-characterized in the important agricultural pest Spodoptera litura. Here, we present RNA sequencing analysis to identify mating-responsive genes from the accessory glands of virgin males and males interrupted during mating. ResultsOverall, 91,744 unigenes were generated after clustering the assembled transcript sequences of both samples, while the total number of transcripts annotated was 48,708 based on sequence homology against the non-redundant (NR) database. Comparative transcriptomics analysis revealed 16,969 genes that were differentially expressed between the two groups, including 9814 up-regulated and 7155 down-regulated genes. Among the top 80 genes that were selected for heat map analysis, several prominent genes including odorant binding protein, cytochrome P450, heat shock proteins, juvenile hormone binding protein, carboxypeptidases and serine protease were differentially expressed. ConclusionsThe identified genes are known or predicted to promote several processes that modify the female post-mating behaviour. Future studies with the individual MAG protein or in combination will be required to recognize the precise mechanisms by which these proteins alter female physiology and reproductive behaviour. Thus, our study provides essential data to address fundamental questions about reproduction within and among insects and also paves way for further exploration of the functions of these proteins in female insects.

Insights into strigolactone (GR24) mediated regulation of cadmium-induced changes and ROS metabolism in Artemisia annua

Agricultural soil contamination and subsequently crops still require alternative solutions to reduce associated environmental risks. The effects of strigolactones (SLs) in alleviating cadmium (Cd) phytotoxicity in Artemisia annua plants were investigated during this study. Strigolactones play a vital role during plant growth and development due to their complex interplay during a plethora of biochemical processes. However, information on the potential of SLs to elicit abiotic stress signaling and trigger physiological modifications in plants is limited. In order to decipher the same, A. annua plants were exposed to different concentrations of Cd (20 and 40 mg kg-1), with or without the supplementation of exogenous SL (GR24, a SL analogue) at 4 µM concentration. Under Cd stress, excess Cd accumulation resulted in reduced growth, physio-biochemical traits, and artemisinin content. However, the follow-up treatment of GR24 maintained a steady state equilibrium between reactive oxygen species and antioxidant enzymes, improved chlorophyll fluorescence parameters such as Fv/Fm, ФPSII, and ETR for improved photosynthesis, enhanced chlorophyll content, maintained chloroplast ultrastructure, improved the glandular trichome (GT) attributes and artemisinin production in A. annua. Moreover, it also resulted in improved membrane stability, reduced Cd accumulation, and regulated the behaviour of stomatal apertures for better stomatal conductance under Cd stress. The results of our study suggest that GR24 could be highly effective in alleviating Cd-induced damages in A. annua. It acts via the modulation of the antioxidant enzyme system for redox homeostasis, protection of the chloroplasts and pigments for improved photosynthetic performance, and improved GT attributes for enhanced artemisinin production in A. annua.

Survival and clinical success of endovascular intervention in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome: A systematic review.

Budd-Chiari syndrome is a complex clinical disorder of hepatic venous outflow obstruction, originating from the accessory hepatic vein (HV), large HV, and suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC). This disorder includes both HV and IVC obstructions and hepatopathy. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the survival rate and clinical success of different types of endovascular treatments for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). All participant studies were retrieved from four databases and selected according to the eligibility criteria for systematic review of patients with BCS. The survival rate, clinical success of endovascular treatments in BCS, and survival rates at 1 and 5 years of publication year were calculated accordingly. A total of 3398 patients underwent an endovascular operation; among them, 93.6% showed clinical improvement after initial endovascular treatment. The median clinical success rates for recanalization, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), and combined procedures were 51%, 17.50%, and 52.50%, respectively. The median survival rates at 1 and 5 years were 51% and 51% for recanalization, 17.50% and 16% for TIPS, and 52.50% and 49.50% for combined treatment, respectively. Based on the year of publication, the median survival rates at 1 and 5 years were 23.50% and 22.50% before 2000, 41% and 41% in 2000‒2005, 35% and 35% in 2006‒2010, 51% and 48.50% in 2010‒2015, and 56% and 55.50% after 2015, respectively. Our findings indicate that the median survival rate at 1 and 5 years of recanalization treatment is higher than that of TIPS treatment, and recanalization provides better clinical improvement. The publication year findings strongly suggest progressive improvements in interventional endovascular therapy for BCS. Thus, interventional therapy restoring the physiologic hepatic venous outflow of the liver can be considered as the treatment of choice for patients with BCS which is a physiological modification procedure.

Survival, and anatomical and ecophysiological changes in isolated individuals of Tillandsia recurvata L. (Bromeliaceae) grown under different shading conditions

Tillandsia recurvata L. may show morphophysiological plasticity in response to radiation availability, since this species is found in different environments. This work aimed to evaluate the anatomical and physiological modifications of T. recurvata isolated individuals under different shading levels and the consequences of these changes on the growth of this species. The individuals were exposed for 60 days to treatments as follows: full sun (unshaded) and shading of 35%, 75%, and 85%. Growth analyses were performed, and the leaf anatomy and water content were assessed. All plants submitted to full sun or 35% shading died, whereas those under 75% and 85% shading survived. The water content in leaves and rhizomes was higher under 85% shading, and this treatment increased the leaf area and the number of leaves in T. recurvata. Leaf dry mass, leaf elongation rate, biomass allocation to rhizomes, and net assimilation rate were higher under 85% shading. The leaves had a thicker hypodermis, lower proportions of both epidermis and vascular bundles, and a higher proportion of chlorophyll parenchyma under 85% shading. Tillandsia recurvata individuals behave as sciophytic, while the formation of clusters may change microclimate conditions; the behavior of clumped plants must be further investigated.

Evolution of pace-of-life syndrome under conditions of maternal PCB contamination and global warming in early life stages of cold stenothermic fish (Arctic char)

The end of the 20th century was characterised by rapid modifications of ecosystem functioning under different pressures (such as eutrophication and toxic pollution). Increasing temperatures in the context of global warming could have indirect consequences, such as increased bioavailability of hydrophobic organic pollutants amongst aquatic species. According to the “pace-of-life syndrome” (POLS) theory, these stressors could lead to covariations in many life traits. Lake Bourget is the largest natural lake in France and has been highly polluted from the fifties to the eighties both with a high load of nutrients (wastewater discharge) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (industrial effluent discharge). Despite improvements in water quality since the 21st century, PCB levels are still higher than the United States Environmental Protection Agency cut-off for wildlife protection. The population of Arctic char, a cold stenothermic salmonid, has remained low in Lake Bourget for the last ten years despite restocking efforts and complete re-oligotrophication. We hypothesised that PCB pollution can affect the Arctic char population and that the increase in water temperature could magnify the effects of PCB. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal PCB contamination on offspring using a multiparametric and multiscale approach. Female Arctic char were contaminated with PCB before spawning, and each fertilised spawn was incubated at two temperatures (4 and 8.5 °C). The results showed that co-exposure to increased temperature and maternal PCB contamination influenced biodemographic, physiological, and behavioural parameters. The effects were highly dependant on the developmental stage. Based on the POLS theory, a continuum of life traits that may reflect potential physiological and behavioural modifications in response to these concurrent stressors is highlighted

Environmental and Biotechnological Perspectives on Hydrolases

Micro-organisms are able to survive in high salt concentrations because they have developed diverse biochemical, structural and physiological modifications, allowing the catalytic synthesis of proteins with interesting physicochemical and structural properties. When opposed to chemical catalysts, enzymes are protein-based catalysts that offer significant advantages. Enzymes are viewed as a greener alternative to conventional chemical catalysis in industrial processes since they are biodegradable, reusable, and do not produce excessive waste products. Enzymes are useful biological instruments for bioremediation that are both environmentally acceptable and bio based. An essential class of enzymes called hydrolases encourages the depolymerisation of macromolecules, which is crucial for the metabolism of nutrients. They have properties that make them desirable for biotechnological applications, in particular for environment protection, where hydrolaseproducing organisms can be used in the removal of contaminants through a process known as bioremediation. They are highly effective catalysts, frequently secreted into the surrounding medium, and the majority do not require cofactors. Hydrolases present an opportunity to investigate the conformational variation that underlies the wide range of biological functions that these enzymes perform because they are the most numerous and diverse class of enzymes. The best choice for eliminating pollutants from the environment may be microbial hydrolases. All facets of life contain these enzymes, which are crucial for key biological activities like the breakdown of cellulosic biomass, viral pathogenesis, antibacterial defence, and typical cellular functioning. The fact that certain lysosomal storage illnesses have been linked to deficits in these enzymes, as well as the potential industrial uses of highly effective glycoside hydrolases. The isolation of active enzymes against particular pollutants comes from microorganisms that have been exposed to contaminated locations and those contaminants specifically. For the bioremediation of contaminants, several enzymes extracted from various species have been utilised. A viable approach to finding more effective and affordable instruments for the clean-up of contaminants would be to identify novel enzymes and new subtypes with specified physicochemical properties.
