High-Dose Methylphenidate and Carboxylesterase 1 Genetic Variability in Patients With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Case Series.
Westerkamp AC, Pereira RR, Huitema VR, Kouwert EAM, Matic M, van Schaik RHN, Punt N, Schoevers RA, Touw DJ
Purpose/background: Methylphenidate (MPH) is widely used to reduce symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Methylphenidate is metabolized by the carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) enzyme. Some patients need a very high dose of MPH to reach desired clinical effects, without having adverse effects. This may be due to differences in MPH pharmacokinetics (PK), potentially caused by DNA variants in CES1 , the gene encoding the enzyme that metabolizes MPH. Here we describe 3 patients requiring hi...

Coexistence of specialist and generalist species within mixed plastic derivative-utilizing microbial communities.
Schaerer L, Putman L, Bigcraft I, Byrne E, Kulas D, Zolghadr A, Aloba S, Ong R, Shonnard D, Techtmann S
Background: Plastic-degrading microbial isolates offer great potential to degrade, transform, and upcycle plastic waste. Tandem chemical and biological processing of plastic wastes has been shown to substantially increase the rates of plastic degradation; however, the focus of this work has been almost entirely on microbial isolates (either bioengineered or naturally occurring). We propose that a microbial community has even greater potential for plastic upcycling. A microbial community has grea...
