The Effect of Synthetic Cow Urine on Microorganisms and Their Potential Phosphorus Mining Activity in Rhizosphere and Bulk Soil

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and aims Soil microbes adapt to varying nutrient inputs by modifying their utilization strategies, with root exudates and animal urine serving as key carbon (C) and nutrient sources in grasslands. Nonetheless, the specific mechanisms by which cow urine and root exudates influence microbial community and resource utilization remain ...

Glucosidase Inhibition to Study Calnexin-assisted Glycoprotein Folding in Cells

Bio-Protocol, 2019
Calnexin is a chaperone protein that plays a critical role in glycoprotein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The function of calnexin depends on its binding to monoglucosylated oligosaccharides on nascent glycoproteins, whereas the generation of

Importance of interaction between the matrix effect and microbial metabolism in the bioavailability of lignans

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plant‐lignans are polyphenols with low bioavailability and bioactivity that are transformed by the intestinal microbiota into enterolignans. Our hypotheses are: (i) the way in which plant‐lignans are ingested in the diet affects, in a decisive way, the microbial metabolism of these compounds and (ii) an increase in lignan ...
