Roles of leptin on energy balance and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Leptin is a hormone mainly synthesized and secreted by white adipose tissue (WAT), which regulates various physiological processes. To investigate the role of leptin in energy balance and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus, voles were randomly ...

A Model for Designing Adaptive Laboratory Evolution Experiments [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017 ABSTRACT The occurrence of mutations is a cornerstone of the evolutionary theory of adaptation, capitalizing on the rare chance that a mutation confers a fitness benefit. Natural selection is increasingly being leveraged in laboratory settings for industrial and basic science applications. Despite increasing deployment, there are

Engineering improved ethylene production: Leveraging systems biology and adaptive laboratory evolution [PDF]
Metabolic Engineering, 2021 Ethylene is a small hydrocarbon gas widely used in the chemical industry. Annual worldwide production currently exceeds 150 million tons, producing considerable amounts of CO2 contributing to climate change. The need for a sustainable alternative is therefore imperative.

Adaptive laboratory evolution of nanocellulose‐producing bacterium
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2019 AbstractAdaptive laboratory evolution through 12 rounds of culturing experiments of the nanocellulose‐producing bacterium Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 23769 in a liquid fraction from hydrothermal pretreatment of corn stover resulted in a strain that resists inhibition by phenolics.

Membrane transporter identification and modulation via adaptive laboratory evolution
Metabolic Engineering, 2022 Membrane transport proteins are potential targets for medical and biotechnological applications. However, more than 30% of reported membrane transporter families are either poorly characterized or lack adequate functional annotation. Here, adaptive laboratory evolution was leveraged to identify membrane transporters for a set of four amino acids as ...

Adaptive laboratory evolution of microbial co‐cultures for improved metabolite secretion [PDF]
Molecular Systems Biology, 2021 Adaptive laboratory evolution has proven highly effective for obtaining microorganisms with enhanced capabilities. Yet, this method is inherently restricted to the traits that are positively linked to cell fitness, such as nutrient utilization. Here, we introduce coevolution of obligatory mutualistic communities for improving secretion of fitness ...
