Li, H.Y., Motamedi, P., Hogan, James D.
This study investigates the micro/nanostructural features and mechanical responses of a novel TiAl/Ti3Al/Al2O3 cermet fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis. The microscopic diagnosis was used to examine the material composition, phase distribution, and elemental concentration...

Castor oil contains approximately 90% ricinoleic acid (RA) which is stored mainly in the form of tri‐ricinoleic acid containing triacylglycerols (TAG). Ricinoleate is synthesized from oleate (18:1n‐9) esterified to the sn‐2 position of phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) catalyzed by...

Characterization of a Type‐2 Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase from Haematococcus pluvialis Reveals Possible Allostery of the Recombinant Enzyme
Download2019-12-26
Nguyen, Trinh, Xu, Yang, Abdel-Hameed, Mona, Sorensen, John L., Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
Haematococcus pluvialis is a green microalga used in the algal biotechnology industry that can accumulate considerable amounts of storage triacylglycerol (TAG) and astaxanthin, which is a high‐value carotenoid with strong antioxidant activity, under stress conditions. Diacylglycerol...

Characterization of GshAB of Tetragenococcus halophilus: A two- domain glutathione synthetase
Download2023-03-30
Lin, Jieting, Xie, Jin, Luo, Lixin, Gänzle, Michael
The γ-glutamyl tripeptide glutathione (γ-Glu-Cys-Gly) is a low molecular thiol that acts as antioxidant in response to oxidative stress in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. γ-Glutamyl dipeptides including γ-Glu-Cys, γ-Glu-Glu, and γ-Glu-Gly also have kokumi activity. Glutathione is synthesized by first...

Gaur, Gautam, Chen, Chen, Gänzle, Michael G.
In plants, hydroxycinnamic and hydroxybenzoic acids occur mainly as esters. This study aimed to determine the contribution of individual phenolic acid esterases in Lp. plantarum TMW1.460, which encodes for four esterases: TanA, Lp0796, Est1092 and a homolog of Lj0536 and Lj1228 that was termed...

Characterization of novel galactosylated chitin-oligosaccharides and chitosan-oligosaccharides
Download2014-12-01
Black, Brenna A., Yan, Yalu, Galle, Sandra, Hu, Ying, Curtis, Jonathan M., Gänzle, Michael G.
This study determined whether chitin-oligosaccharides and chitosan-oligosaccharides (COS) are suitable acceptor carbohydrates for the LacLM-type β-galactosidase of Lactobacillus plantarum. Enzymatic reactions were carried out with lactose as galactosyl-donor and chitinbiose (N,N′-diacetyl...

Shoute, Lian C. T., Loppnow, Glen R.
Understanding the dsDNA·EG binding interaction is important because the EvaGreen (EG) dye is increasingly used in real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, high resolution melting analysis, and routine quantification of DNA. In this work, a binding isotherm for the interactions of EG with...

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...
