Random mutagenesis of Phaeodactylum tricornutum using ultraviolet, chemical, and X-ray irradiation demonstrates the need for temporal analysis of phenotype stability

Scientific Reports, 2023
We investigated two non-ionising mutagens in the form of ultraviolet radiation (UV) and ethyl methanosulfonate (EMS) and an ionising mutagen (X-ray) as methods to increase fucoxanthin content in the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum.

Comparative Study Highlights the Potential of Spectral Deconvolution for Fucoxanthin Screening in Live Phaeodactylum tricornutum Cultures

Marine Drugs, 2021
Microalgal biotechnology shows considerable promise as a sustainable contributor to a broad range of industrial avenues. The field is however limited by processing methods that have commonly hindered the progress of high throughput screening, and ...

A hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene-based ditopic receptor for alkylammonium ions controlled by Ag + ions 4 [PDF]

, 2018
A receptor cone-1 based on a hexahomotrioxacalix[3]arene bearing three pyridyl groups 21 was successfully synthesized, which has a C3-symmetric conformation and is capable of binding 22 alkylammonium and metal ions simultaneously in a cooperative fashion.

Enhancing C3 Photosynthesis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2010
A new “green revolution” is needed in world agriculture to increase crop yields for food and bioenergy, because gains from conventional crop improvement ([Fischer and Edmeades, 2010][1]) are less than world population growth.

HIV induces expression of complement component C3 in astrocytes by NF-κB-dependent activation of interleukin-6 synthesis [PDF]

, 2017
Background Abnormal activation of the complement system contributes to some central nervous system diseases but the role of complement in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is unclear.

Entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes over arbitrary finite fields [PDF]

, 2019
We prove that the known formulae for computing the optimal number of maximally entangled pairs required for entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (EAQECCs) over the binary field hold for codes over arbitrary finite fields as well. We also
