Exploration of Alkaliphilic Bacteria Alkalitalea saponilacus Identifies Glycoside Hydrolases With Biotechnological Potential. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolSoda lakes represent an excellent resource in the search for microbes adapted to alkaline and hypersaline conditions. In this study we demonstrate the ability of Alkalitalea saponilacus to degrade multiple carbon sources representing a promising bacterium for biotechnological applications where performance under alkaline or strongly ionic conditions is

Hypoxia promotes glycogen accumulation through hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-mediated induction of glycogen synthase 1. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 When oxygen becomes limiting, cells reduce mitochondrial respiration and increase ATP production through anaerobic fermentation of glucose. The Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) play a key role in this metabolic shift by regulating the transcription of ...

Applications of Biomaterials in Separators for Secondary Batteries
Carbon Energy, EarlyView.In this review, biomaterial‐based separators are reviewed as sustainable alternatives to conventional polyolefin‐based separators. For 12 different natural polymers, spanning from Protista, Plantae, and Animalia, viable strategies for synthesizing biomass‐based separators are described.

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...
