An Increase in Male Recombination Rate With Age in Dairy Cattle Is Heritable and Polygenic
ABSTRACT Meiotic recombination is an essential process for shuffling genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms, can vary within and between individuals in response to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and can be heritable. Interestingly, recombination rate has been found to vary with age in some species, but to date, there have been no ...

Old player, new roles: defining the role of the plastidial phosphorylase
Summary The plastidial phosphorylase (Pho1 or Phs1; E.C. 2.4.1.1) is a ubiquitous enzyme among plants that catalyzes the formation and degradation of glucans. Although the first report connecting Pho1 with starch metabolism came out > 80 years ago, its precise role is still a matter of debate.

Metabolic Network for the Biosynthesis of Intra- and Extracellular alpha-Glucans Required for Virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Mycobacterium tuberculosis synthesizes intra- and extracellular alpha-glucans that were believed to originate from separate pathways. The extracellular glucose polymer is the main constituent of the mycobacterial capsule that is thought to be involved in

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

The negative effects of widely used polyethylene‐plastic packaging on environment and consumers' health along with the advantages of biopolymers lead to attention on active and degradable packaging as safe alternatives. Xie et al. thoroughly review starch, focusing on its chemical modification and application in constructing active and degradable ...

Comparison of porous starches obtained from different enzyme types and levels [PDF]
The objective was to compare the action of different hydrolases for producing porous corn starches. Amyloglucosidase (AMG), α-amylase (AM), cyclodextrin-glycosyltransferase (CGTase) and branching enzyme (BE) were tested using a range of concentrations ...

Structural and Functional Properties of Starch From Popped Seeds of Makhana (Euryale ferox)
This study aimed to investigate the starch properties of raw and popped makhana (PM) seeds (Euryale ferox), focusing on changes in physicochemical, structural, and functional properties. The finding revealed that popped makhana starch (PMS) exhibited enhanced physicochemical characteristics compared to raw starch and versatile ingredient for starch ...
