Nguyen, Trinh-Don, Ozga, Jocelyn A., Reinecke, Dennis M., Ferraro, Kiva, Ro, Dae-Kyun, Jin, Alena
Background Proanthocyanidins (PAs) accumulate in the seeds, fruits and leaves of various plant species including the seed coats of pea (Pisum sativum), an important food crop. PAs have been implicated in human health, but molecular and biochemical characterization of pea PA biosynthesis has not...

Characterization of the altered gene expression profile in early porcine embryos generated from parthenogenesis and somatic cell chromatin transfer
Download2014
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Dixon, Walter T., Dyck, Michael K., Stothard, Paul, Foxcroft, George R., Tsoi, Stephen, Verstegen, John
The in vitro production of early porcine embryos is of particular scientific and economic interest. In general, embryos produced from in vitro Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) manipulations, such as somatic cell chromatin transfer (CT) and parthenogenetic activation (PA), are less...

Characterization of the diversification of phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferases in the green lineage
Download2020-06-15
Falarz, Lucas J., Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Garroway, Colin J., Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
Triacylglycerols have important physiological roles in photosynthetic organisms, and are widely used as food, feed and industrial materials in our daily life. Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) is the pivotal enzyme catalyzing the acyl‐CoA‐independent biosynthesis of...

Characterization of the two nonidentical ArgR regulators of Tetragenococcus halophilus and their regulatory effects on arginine metabolism
Download2020-01-01
Lin, Jieting, Luo, Xiaotong, Gänzle, Michael G., Luo, Lixin
The halophilic lactic acid bacterium Tetragenococcus halophilus has been widely used in high-salinity fermentation processes of food. Previous studies have indicated that the catabolism of arginine may contribute to the osmotic stress adaptation of T. halophilus. Unusually, in the chromosome of...

Extracellular glycosyl hydrolases are uncommon in lactobacilli and include amylases and fructosidases mediating starch and fructan utilization, respectively. Extracellular arabinanases have not been described in lactobacilli. This study is aimed at identifying the function of an arabinan...

Characterization of Type-2 Diacylglycerol Acyltransferases in the Green Microalga Chromochloris zofingiensis
Download2018-12-13
Xu, Yang, Falarz, Lucas, Chen, Guanqun
Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the last and committed step of the acyl-CoA-dependent TAG biosynthesis and thus is a key target for manipulating oil production in microalgae. The microalga Chromochloris zofingiensis can accumulate substantial amounts of triacylglycerol (TAG) and...

Characterization of α-Galactooligosaccharides formed via Heterologous Expression of α- 2 Galactosidases from Lactobacillus reuteri in Lactococcus lactis
Download2014-01-01
Wang, Yvonne, Black, Brenna A., Curtis, Jonathan M., Gänzle, Michael G.
α-Galacto-oligosaccharides (α-GOS) are produced by transgalactosylation reactions of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) or by conversion of raffinose family oligosaccharides by levansucrase. Similarly to β-GOS, α-GOS have the potential to mimic glycan receptors on eukaryotic cells and act as molecular...

Mager, Diana R., Chan, Catherine B., Ambler, Kathryn, Salawi, Hebah, Padwal, Rajdeep S., Ball, Geoff D. C.
Background Severe obesity (SO) in pediatrics has become increasing prevalent in recent decades. The objective of our study was to examine differences in demographic, anthropometric, cardiometabolic, and lifestyle variables in children and youth with SO versus their less overweight/obese (OW/OB)...

Chemical modification, characterization, and application of chicken feathers as novel biosorbents
Download2013
Ullah, Aman, Khosa, Muhammad A., Wu, Jianping
The current work exclusively pertains to preparing arsenic removing biosorbents using chicken feathers (CF) as a raw material. CF consist of keratinous proteins with many functional groups, and this paper contributes to the debate on how functional groups, especially –COOH, –NH2 and –S–S–,...
