Electricity-assisted production of caproic acid from grass [PDF]
Background: Medium chain carboxylic acids, such as caproic acid, are conventionally produced from food materials. Caproic acid can be produced through fermentation by the reverse beta-oxidation of lactic acid, generated from low value lignocellulosic ...

Polyphosphate in Lactobacillus and Its Link to Stress Tolerance and Probiotic Properties
The synthesis of the inorganic polymer polyphosphate (poly-P) in bacteria has been linked to stress survival and to the capacity of some strains to sequester heavy metals.

Enzymatic activity toward poly(L-lactic acid) implants [PDF]
Tissue reactions toward biodegradable poly(L-lactic acid) implants were monitored by studying the activity pattern of seven enzymes as a function of time: alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, -naphthyl acetyl esterase, -glucuronidase, ATP-ase, NADH ...

Bacteriophages as an Up-and-Coming Alternative to the Use of Sulfur Dioxide in Winemaking [PDF]
Certain acetic and lactic acid bacteria are major causes of quality defects in musts and wines, giving rise to defects such as a "vinegary," "sharp, like nail polish-remover" taste or preventing alcoholic and/or malolactic fermentation. Sulfur dioxide is

Microbial community analysis and enzymatic process optimization of dry corn stover pretreated with medium-temperature Daqu [PDF]
In this study, taking dry corn stover (DCS) as a raw material, medium-temperature Daqu were added to DCS samples, the DCS was pretreated by anaerobic fermentation, the organic acids, pH and cellulose fractions during the pretreatment process (0-35 d ...

Rationale and safety assessment of a novel intravaginal drug-delivery system with sustained DL-lactic acid release, intended for long-term protection of the vaginal microbiome [PDF]
Bacterial vaginosis is a prevalent state of dysbiosis of the vaginal microbiota with wide-ranging impact on human reproductive health. Based on recent insights in community ecology of the vaginal microbiome, we hypothesize that sustained vaginal DL ...

Distribution and Quantification of Lactic Acid Enantiomers in Baijiu
Enantiomers of lactic acid were investigated in Baijiu, including soy sauce aroma-type Baijiu (SSB), strong aroma-type Baijiu (STB), and light aroma-type Baijiu (LTB), via high-performance liquid chromatography with a chiral separation column.
