Modulation of Lipogenesis and Glucose Consumption in HepG2 Cells and C2C12 Myotubes by Sophoricoside

Molecules, 2013
Sophoricoside, an isoflavone glycoside isolated from Sophora japonica (Leguminosae), has been widely reported as an immunomodulator. In this study, the effects of sophoricoside on lipogenesis and glucose consumption in HepG2 cells and C2C12 myotubes were

Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...

Biochemical Studies and Production Optimization of β‐Glucosidase From Microcystis aeruginosa CACIAM 03 Using Organic Waste

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global warming and industrial pollutants pose significant threats to environmental sustainability. In response, enzymes have emerged as promising tools for mitigating pollution. Enzymatic hydrolysis is considered environmentally sustainable due to its biological nature.

A Multi-season Investigation of Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Two Temperate Coastal North Carolina Rivers: Evidence of Spatial but Not Seasonal Patterns

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Riverine systems are important sites for the production, transport, and transformation of organic matter. Much of the organic matter processing is carried out by heterotrophic microbial communities, whose activities may be spatially and temporally ...

Stabilization by Crosslinking of β‐Galactosidase Immobilized by Adsorption for Application in a Continuous Lactose Removal Process

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adsorption is the simplest method of enzyme immobilization, but it often requires additional treatments to improve stability. These treatments, however, may impact enzymatic activity. This study investigated the effect of crosslinking on the stability of β‐galactosidase immobilized by adsorption on A‐568 resin and its implications for ...

Biosynthesis of Oligomeric Anthocyanins from Grape Skin Extracts

Molecules, 2017
We synthesized oligomeric anthocyanins from grape skin-derived monomeric anthocyanins such as anthocyanidin and proanthocyanidin by a fermentation technique using Aspergillus niger, crude enzymes and glucosidase.

Acidogenic fermentation of pretreated food waste under psychrophilic conditions for volatile fatty acids production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.

Effects of Sewage Sludge Compost on Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur Ratios and Soil Enzyme Activities in a Long-Term Experiment

Agronomy
The carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur (CNPS) ratios of soils are known to be relatively stable parameters, characterizing different land uses. We hypothesized that the long-term application of sewage sludge compost (SSC) would not change these ...
