A Novel Regulator Modulates Glucan Production, Cell Aggregation and Biofilm Formation in Streptococcus sanguinis SK36

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Streptococcus sanguinis is an early colonizer of tooth surfaces and a key player in plaque biofilm development. However, the mechanism of biofilm formation of S. sanguinis is still unclear.

Preservation of rhizobia by lyophilization with trehalose [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2002
The objective of this study was to determine if trehalose can effectively enhance the viability and storage lifetime of Rhizobium tropici and Rhizobium etli after lyophilization as compared to the traditional protective combination of sucrose and peptone.

Sustainable recovery of a chitin–glucan complex–protein biocomposite from yeast biomass using biocompatible ionic liquids

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Chitin–glucan complex (CGC) is typically extracted from fungal or yeast biomass using harsh alkaline treatments that not only generate high‐salt, organic‐rich effluents, but also negatively impact the structural and functional properties of the recovered copolymer, while wasting the yeast protein fraction, which is discarded.

Evaluation of Sulfated Polysaccharides from the Brown Seaweed Dictyopteris Justii as Antioxidant Agents and as Inhibitors of the Formation of Calcium Oxalate Crystals

Molecules, 2013
Oxalate crystals and other types of crystals are the cause of urolithiasis, and these are related to oxidative stress. The search for new compounds with antioxidant qualities and inhibitors of these crystal formations is therefore necessary.

Raw citrus by‐product valorization: unlocking the potential of biotransformation by Talaromyces amestolkiae to obtain cellulolytic enzymes and natural colorants

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Agro‐industrial by‐products can be used as valuable nutrient sources for the sustainable production of high‐value‐added compounds. The goal of this study was utilize raw citrus industrial by‐product (RCB) as a carbon source for the simultaneous production of red colorants and enzymes by the filamentous fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae under lab ...

Valorization of paper sludge for bioethanol and biogas production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluated the physicochemical properties and bioenergy potential of three distinct paper sludges: virgin pulp sludge (VP‐PS), corrugated cardboard sludge (CR‐PS), and tissue and printing paper sludge (TPR‐PS). From the experimental runs, VP‐PS exhibited the highest ethanol yield (46.8 ± 3.7 g L−1, 87.4% conversion), which can be ...
