Probiotics: their action against pathogens can be turned around

Scientific Reports, 2021
Probiotics when applied in complex evolving (micro-)ecosystems, might be selectively beneficial or detrimental to pathogens when their prophylactic efficacies are prone to ambient interactions.

The Rodent-Specific MicroRNA Cluster within the Sfmbt2 Gene Is Imprinted and Essential for Placental Development

Cell Reports, 2017
Summary: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent small noncoding RNAs that are involved in physiological and developmental processes by posttranscriptionally inhibiting gene expression. One of the largest miRNA clusters in mice is located in intron 10 of the Sfmbt2

A comparative study of fuzzy logic-based models for groundwater quality evaluation based on irrigation indices

Journal of Water and Land Development, 2019
Groundwater quality modelling plays an important role in water resources management decision making processes. Accordingly, models must be developed to account for the uncertainty inherent in the modelling process, from the sample measurement stage ...

Influence of high-intensity ultrasound on the IgE binding capacity of Act d 2 allergen, secondary structure, and In-vitro digestibility of kiwifruit proteins

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 2021
Kiwifruit can trigger allergic reactions that can lead to death, causing public health concerns worldwide. In the present study, we treated kiwifruit samples with high-intensity ultrasound (20 kHz, 400 W, 50% duty cycle) for 0 to 16 min to evaluate its ...

High‐level expression of xyloglucanase B from Rhizomucor miehei and its application in the preparation of partially hydrolyzed apple pomace xyloglucan

Food Bioengineering, 2022
A xyloglucanase gene (RmXEG12B) was cloned from Rhizomucor miehei CAU432 and successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris. The highest xyloglucanase activity of 26,200 U/mL was achieved after 168 h high‐cell‐density fermentation.
