Amino Acid Utilization in Seeds of Loblolly Pine during Germination and Early Seedling Growth: I. Arginine and Arginase Activity
Download1997
Abstract: The mobilization and utilization of the major storage proteins in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seeds following imbibition were investigated. Most of the seed protein reserves were contained within the megagametophyte. Breakdown of these proteins occurred primarily following radicle...

Biochemical analysis of respiratory metabolism in the heterofermentative Lactobacillus spicheri and Lactobacillus reuteri
Download2015-01-01
Ianniello, Rocco G., Zheng, Jinshui, Zotta, Teresa, Ricciardi, Annamaria, Gänzle, Michael G.
Aims: This study evaluated the aerobic and respiratory metabolism in Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus spicheri, two heterofermentative species used in sourdough fermentation. Methods and Results: In silico genome analysis, production of metabolites and gene expression of pyruvate oxidase,...

Body Composition Assessment in Pediatric Obesity: Reliability, Validity, and Clinical Applications
DownloadFall 2020
Adipose tissue and skeletal muscle have unique metabolic roles. Despite body mass index for age and sex (BMI z-score) being historically widely used to evaluate and monitor health status in children with obesity, it does not depict adiposity and muscularity (or their changes) during growth or...

Characterization of the Mitochondrial Phenotype Associated with Primary Biliary Cholangitis
DownloadSpring 2017
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of intra-hepatic bile ducts. The autoimmune nature of PBC involves humoral and cell-mediated responses that target endogenous mitochondrial proteins. It is thought that the breakdown of...

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...

Chronic Fatigue Mechanisms in Autoimmune Diseases: Lessons from Primary Biliary Cholangitis and Systemic Sclerosis
DownloadFall 2023
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease affecting the body's connective tissues, resulting in progressive fibrosis and vasculopathy. In some cases, individuals with SSc may also develop primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), another autoimmune disease characterized by damage to their...

Comparative genomics of Lactobacillus reuteri from sourdough reveals adaptation of an intestinal symbiont to food fermentations
Download2015
Zhao, Xin, Gänzle, Michael G., Lin, Xiaoxi B., Zheng, Jinshui
Lactobacillus reuteri is a dominant member of intestinal microbiota of vertebrates, and occurs in food fermentations. The stable presence of L. reuteri in sourdough provides the opportunity to study the adaptation of vertebrate symbionts to an extra-intestinal habitat. This study evaluated this...

Comparison of Quantitative Real-time PCR (qPCR) and Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) for Quantification of Lactobacillus reuteri in Human Feces
DownloadSpring 2020
The human gut microbiota, a complicated microbial community consisting of trillions of microorganisms, has been recognized as of great importance for maintaining human health. To establish direct linkages between a certain group of gut microorganisms and the physiological status of the host, it...

Contribution of glutaminases to glutamine metabolism and acid resistance in Lactobacillus reuteri and other vertebrate host adapted lactobacilli
Download2020-04-01
Li, Qing, Tao, QianYing, Teixeira, Juanana S., Shu-Wei Su, Marcia, Gänzle, Michael G.
The bacterial conversion of glutamine to glutamate is catalyzed by glutamine-amidotransferases or glutaminases. Glutamine deamination contributes to the formation of the bioactive metabolites glutamate, γ-aminobutyrate (GABA) and γ-glutamyl peptides, and to acid resistance. This study aimed to...
