A Bacterial Sulfotransferase Catalyzes an Unusual Di‐Sulfation in Natural Products Biosynthesis

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Herein, a unique sulfotransferase, AdpST, is identified from the adp biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) in Streptomyces davaonensis DSM101723 and demonstrates that AdpST possesses di‐sulfation activity, which is unprecedented for bacterial phosphoadenosine‐5’‐phosphosulfate (PAPS)‐dependent sulfotransferases. It is further shown that the adp BGC contains

Comparison of Short-grain Rice Cultivars Grown in Japan and the United States [PDF]

, 2018
Although short-grain rice accounts for less than 2% of U.S. rice production, the demand for short-grain rice is expected to increase because of the increasing popularity of sushi and sake. The objective of this study was to compare the physical, chemical

Pivotal role of bZIPs in amylose biosynthesis by genome survey and transcriptome analysis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) mutants

Scientific Reports, 2018
Starch makes up 70% of the wheat grain, and is an important source of calories for humans, however, the overconsumption of wheat starch may contribute to nutrition-associated health problems.

Controlling polymer addition flowrate to improve the flocculation of kaolinite suspensions as models for oil sands mature fine tailings

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Oil sands exploration generates large volumes of mature fine tailings—mixtures of clays, water, and residual bitumen—that remain stable even after settling in tailings ponds for many years. Commonly used flocculants, such as neutral and anionic polyacrylamides, destabilize the colloidal interactions between the clay particles, but ...

Appropriate parboiling steaming time at atmospheric pressure and variety to produce rice with weak digestive properties [PDF]

, 2019
Consumers with diabetes mellitus have shown interest in products with low postprandial glucose. To produce rice for this group of consumers, the effect of parboiling steaming time (0, 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 min) and variety (NERICA1, NERICA7, WITA4, and ...

Study on the effect of co‐plasticization of post‐industrial starch for high‐impact thermoplastic starch development

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
High‐impact thermoplastic starch blends through the co‐plasticization methodology. Abstract This study analyzed the effect of employing plasticized or co‐plasticized post‐industrial starch in developing PBAT‐based thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends. In this work, the post‐industrial wheat starch was co‐plasticized with glycerol‐urea, glycerol‐citric ...

Chain Dimensions and Stiffness of Cellulosic and Amylosic Chains in an Ionic Liquid: Cellulose, Amylose, and an Amylose Carbamate in BmimCl [PDF]

Macromolecules, 2017
Small-angle X-ray scattering measurements were made for cellulose, amylose, and amylose tris(ethylcarbamate) (ATEC) in an ionic liquid [1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl)] at 25 °C to determine z-average mean-square radius of gyration ⟨S2⟩z and the particle scattering function P(q).
