HYDROLASE ACTIVITIES IN BRAIN OF NEUROLOGICAL MUTANTS: CEREBROSIDE GALACTOSIDASE, NITROPHENYL GALACTOSIDE HYDROLASE, NITROPHENYL LUCOSIDE HYDROLASE AND SULPHATASE¹ [PDF]

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1969
Abstract— The brains of 17‐day‐old quaking and jimpy mice were compared with those of the corresponding normal phenotypes. The concentrations of cerebroside and sulphatide were found to be markedly lower in the affected mutants, while the relative amounts of ceramide and free fatty acid appeared normal.

Screening of halotolerant microfungi isolated from hypersaline soils of Algerian Sahara for production of hydrolytic enzymes

Journal of Biological Research, 2021
The Algerian Sahara contains numerous hypersaline ecosystems including salt lakes in which the fungal diversity has not been characterized. The abundance and diversity of soil microofungi in three salt lakes in southeastern Algeria was investigated ...

Induction and Repression of Hydrolase Genes in Aspergillus oryzae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae, also known as yellow koji mold, produces high levels of hydrolases such as amylolytic and proteolytic enzymes. This property of producing large amounts of hydrolases is one of the reasons why A.

Role of Seasonality and Fire in Regulating the Enzymatic Activities in Soils Covered by Different Vegetation in a Mediterranean Area

Applied Sciences, 2021
As they quickly respond to environmental conditions, soil enzymes, involved in nutrient cycles, are considered good indicators of soil quality. The Mediterranean area is a peculiar environment for climatic conditions and for fire frequency.

A Hydrolase Produced by Rhodococcus erythropolis HQ Is Responsible for the Detoxification of Zearalenone

Toxins, 2023
Zearalenone (ZEN), an estrogenic mycotoxin, is one of the prevalent contaminants found in food and feed, posing risks to human and animal health. In this study, we isolated a ZEN-degrading strain from soil and identified it as Rhodococcus erythropolis HQ.

Catalysis by nucleoside hydrolases [PDF]

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2003
Nucleoside hydrolases cleave the N-glycosidic bond of ribonucleosides. Because of their vital role in the protozoan purine salvage pathway, nucleoside hydrolases from parasitic protozoa in particular have been studied extensively by X-ray crystallography, kinetic methods and site-directed mutagenesis.

Characterisation of a Novel Acetyl Xylan Esterase (BaAXE) Screened from the Gut Microbiota of the Common Black Slug (Arion ater)

Molecules, 2022
Acetyl xylan esterases (AXEs) are enzymes capable of hydrolysing the acetyl bonds in acetylated xylan, allowing for enhanced activity of backbone-depolymerizing enzymes.

Removal of Zearalenone from Degummed Corn Oil by Hydrolase on a Batch-Refining Unit

Foods, 2022
The removal of zearalenone (ZEN) from degummed corn oil (DCO) using hydrolase on a batch-refining unit was studied. According to single-factor and response surface experiments, the optimum technological conditions for reaching the maximum degradation ...
