An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

Effects of culture modes on polyglucan accumulation and molecular weight distribution in Galdieria sulphuraria strains

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of different culture modes – autotrophy, mixotrophy and heterotrophy – on polyglucan accumulation and molecular weight distribution in four Galdieria sulphuraria strains. Understanding the impact of these culture modes helps optimize the production of reserve carbohydrates and modify their ...
