A novel species, Leucocoprinus aurantiopileus , is described from Margalla Hills National Park, Islamabad, Pakistan, using an integrated approach. Phylogenetic analyses based on combined internal transcribed spacer and large subunit sequences confirm its placement within Leucocoprinus . L. aurantiopileus is distinguished by a conical to campanulate, subumbonate to umbonate pileus, dark red center, and light orange margins, alo...

This study focuses on enhancing L-Dopa synthesis by producing tyrosine hydroxylase from Bacillus subtilis SDSC-Env-i6 and its conjugation with aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles. The free enzyme exhibited moderate activity, which was significantly improved through nanoparticle conjugation. Structural characterisation confirmed successful binding, with Al₂O₃ nanoparticles showing a crystalline nature and sizes ranging from 1...
