Role of an esterase in flavor volatile variation within the tomato clade

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2012
Tomato flavor is dependent upon a complex mixture of volatiles including multiple acetate esters. Red-fruited species of the tomato clade accumulate a relatively low content of acetate esters in comparison with the green-fruited species. We show that the

Metagenomics of an alkaline hot spring in Galicia (Spain): microbial diversity analysis and screening for novel lipolytic enzymes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
A fosmid library was constructed with the metagenomic DNA from the water of the Lobios hot spring (76°C, pH=8.2) located in Ourense (Spain). Metagenomic sequencing of the fosmid library allowed the assembly of 9,722 contigs ranging in size from 500 to 56,

Fabrication of Polypyrrole–Polystyrene Sulfonate by Amperometric Biosensor‐Based Electropolymerization for Cholesterol Determination in Serum

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since cholesterol triggers many diseases, many methods have been developed for its determination. In this study, an alternative system for cholesterol determination was developed by preparing amperometric biosensors. In the development of the biosensor, Pt/polypyrrole–polystyrene sulfonate film was prepared by electropolymerization of ...

Potential of Small‐Angle Neutron Scattering for Evaluating Protein Locus within a Polymersome

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 224, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Post‐loading of polymersomes with biomolecules mimics the diffusion processes through biological membranes. The cargo location and the membrane changes after loading are investigated using multidetector asymmetrical flow field‐flow fractionation, light scattering, and microscopy. A comparison with small‐angle neutron scattering shows that vesicle model
