Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

Analysis of variance components reveals the contribution of sample processing to transcript variation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The proper design of DNA microarray experiments requires knowledge of biological and technical variation of the studied biological model. For the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger, a fast, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)-based hierarchical ...

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

Protective effects of L-arabinose in high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome in rats

open access: yesFood & Nutrition Research, 2015
Background: L-Arabinose is a non-caloric sugar, which could affect glucose and lipid metabolism and suppress obesity. However, few reports have described the effect of L-arabinose in metabolic syndrome, a combination of medical disorders that increase ...

Engineering orthogonal dual transcription factors for multi-input synthetic promoters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Synthetic biology has seen an explosive growth in the capability of engineering artificial gene circuits from transcription factors (TFs), particularly in bacteria. However, most artificial networks still employ the same core set of TFs (for example LacI,

Nickel Foam Electrodes—A Versatile, Powerful, and Readily Available Tool in Electro‐Organic Synthesis

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Nickel foam—one material, two faces, and several versatile roles depending on electrolytic conditions. For more than 50 years, nickel foam electrodes have served in electrosynthesis as powerful and readily available electrode materials. Due to their inexpensive nature and easy handling, they have been widely employed.

Dietary L-arabinose-induced gut dysbiosis exacerbates Salmonella infection outcome

open access: yesmSystems
The gut microbiota is essential for providing colonization resistance against pathogens. Dietary sugars markedly shift the composition of the intestinal microbiota and alter host susceptibility to enteric infections.
