Biosynthesis of retinal in bovine corpus luteum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1974 Bovine corpus luteum tissue was sliced and incubated with β-[15,15′-3H]carotene. The conversion of radioactive β-carotene into radioactive retinal was substantiated utilizing column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, high-speed liquid ...

Specificity of Rhodococcus opacus 1CP cells’ responses to benzoate and 3-chlorobenzoate
Frontiers in Bioscience-Elite, 2022 Background: Halogenated aromatic compounds are more resistant to microbial degradation than non-halogenated aromatic compounds. Microbial degradation of sodium benzoate in the presence of sodium 3-chlorobenzoate is of interest.

The Plasma [Kynurenine]/[Tryptophan] Ratio and Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase: Time for Appraisal
International Journal of Tryptophan Research, 2019 The plasma kynurenine to tryptophan ([Kyn]/[Trp]) ratio is frequently used to express or reflect the activity of the extrahepatic Trp-degrading enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO).

Assessment of the number of catabolic genes of oil-contaminated soils
Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2019 In this work, laboratory modeling of three levels of oil contamination (60, 120 and 250 g kg–1) was carried out for three types of soil: eutric podzoluvisols, haplic greyzem, and haplic chernozems.
