Bioinformatics-Based Screening Approach for the Identification and Characterization of Lipolytic Enzymes from the Marine Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2023 Oleaginous diatoms accumulate lipids of biotechnological interest when exposed to nutrient stress conditions such as nitrogen starvation. While accumulation mechanisms are well-known and have been engineered to improve lipid production, degradation ...

Protective Effects of Neutral Lipids from Phaeodactylum tricornutum on Palmitate-Induced Lipid Accumulation in HepG2 Cells: An In Vitro Model of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [PDF]
MoleculesNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), often associated with obesity, has become a serious public health matter. NAFLD is characterized by an excessive lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, mainly stored as triglycerides.

Structural Characterization and Rheological and Antioxidant Properties of Novel Polysaccharide from Calcareous Red Seaweed [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2022 A novel sulfated xylogalactan (JASX) was extracted and purified from the rhodophyceae Jania adhaerens. JASX was characterized by chromatography (GC/MS-EI and SEC/MALLS) and spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR and 1H/13C NMR) techniques.

Comparison of two Phaeodactylum tricornutum ecotypes under nitrogen starvation and resupply reveals distinct lipid accumulation strategies but a common degradation process [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionPhaeodactylum tricornutum is a model species frequently used to study lipid metabolism in diatoms. When exposed to a nutrient limitation or starvation, diatoms are known to accumulate neutral lipids in cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs).

Plant-Derived Hydrolysates Are a Suitable Replacement for Tryptone N1 in Recombinant Protein Expression Using Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK293-6E) Cells [PDF]
BioTechHuman embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells are a widespread choice for recombinant protein expression. To optimise yields, the hydrolysate Tryptone N1 (TN1) is commonly added post-transfection. TN1 is obtained by controlled enzymatic digestion of casein.

Morpho-Anatomical Modulation of Seminal Roots in Response to Water Deficit in Durum Wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum) [PDF]
PlantsThe productivity of durum wheat in Mediterranean regions is greatly reduced by water deficits that vary in intensity and time of occurrence. The development of more tolerant cultivars is the main solution for fighting these stresses, but this requires ...
