ABSTRACT Over recent years the use of yeast in feedstuffs has gained momentum due to novel developments in single‐cell proteins (SCPs). SCPs are considered a sustainable protein source, as their production enable to convert low‐value substrates (including industrial/agricultural wastes) into feed, with a related reduced environmental impact.

The GbsR Family of Transcriptional Regulators: Functional Characterization of the OpuAR Repressor
Accumulation of compatible solutes is a common stress response of microorganisms challenged by high osmolarity; it can be achieved either through synthesis or import.

Chloride dependence of glycine betaine transport in Halobacillus halophilus [PDF]
Growth of Halobacillus halophilus is strictly chloride‐dependent but the physiological basis for the chloride dependence remains to be elucidated. To address the function of Cl− in H. halophilus, a physiological study was performed. It was found that uptake of the compatible solute glycine betaine under isoosmotic conditions was stimulated by ...

We extend a widely used C3‐photosynthesis model to account for various photorespiratory bypasses, thereby, providing a useful resource and framework that enforces future novel bypass work and scrutinize if the results go counter to theory. Our model analyses show that of the 17 published bypass pathways, full‐decarboxylating bypasses (that have been ...

EFFECT OF IRRIGATION LEVELS, SOIL CONDITIONER AND FOLIAR APPLICATION OF POTASSIUM SILICATEOR GLYCINE BETAINEON VEGETATIVE GROWTH AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GARLIC [PDF]
The field experiment was carried out during the two growing seasons of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, at the farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Shoubra El-Kheima, Egypt, to investigate the effect of irrigation after the depletion of ...

ABSTRACT Drought stress severely restricts rice productivity, necessitating strategies to enhance stress resilience. Here, we identify translation termination as a tunable regulatory node for stress adaptation. Using 25 rounds of SELEX, we isolated RTAR, an RNA aptamer that binds the rice eukaryotic release factor 1 (OseRF1) with nanomolar affinity ...

Genetic Control of Osmoadaptive Glycine Betaine Synthesis in Bacillus subtilis through the Choline-Sensing and Glycine Betaine-Responsive GbsR Repressor [PDF]
Synthesis of the compatible solute glycine betaine confers a considerable degree of osmotic stress tolerance to Bacillus subtilis. This osmoprotectant is produced through the uptake of the precursor choline via the osmotically inducible OpuB and OpuC ABC transporters and a subsequent two-step oxidation process by the GbsB and GbsA enzymes.

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Levels of Glycine Betaine in Growing Cells and Spores of Bacillus Species and Lack of Effect of Glycine Betaine on Dormant Spore Resistance [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bacteria of various Bacillus species are able to grow in media with very high osmotic strength in part due to the accumulation of low-molecular-weight osmolytes such as glycine betaine (GB). Cells of Bacillus species grown in rich and minimal media contained low levels of ...

ABSTRACT Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate change, as rising temperatures compromise the yields of major staple crops, including wheat, rice, and maize. Enhancing plant thermotolerance has therefore become a critical priority for sustaining agricultural productivity.
