Effects of water deficit during maturation on amino acids and jujube fruit eating quality

Macedonian Journal of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 2014
Pear-jujube yield and fruit characteristics can be clearly modified   by a water deficit imposed during fruit maturation period. One essential (cystine (Cys-cys)) and seven non-essential (4-hydroxyproline (p-Hyp), α-aminoadipic acid (AADA), ornithine ...

Amino Acid Transporters and Release of Hydrophobic Amino Acids in the Heterocyst-Forming Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120

Life, 2015
Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterium that can use inorganic compounds such as nitrate or ammonium as nitrogen sources. In the absence of combined nitrogen, it can fix N2 in differentiated cells called heterocysts.

A Novel Lipopeptaibol Emericellipsin A with Antimicrobial and Antitumor Activity Produced by the Extremophilic Fungus Emericellopsis alkalina

Molecules, 2018
Soil fungi are known to contain a rich variety of defense metabolites that allow them to compete with other organisms (fungi, bacteria, nematodes, and insects) and help them occupy more preferential areas at the expense of effective antagonism.
