The differentiation of cholesterol and pigment gallstones [PDF]

, 1989
Gallbladder biles and stones were obtained at 116 cholecystectomies for symptomatic gallstone disease. All 33 patients younger than 50 years had cholesterol stones, whereas 40% of the older patients had pigment stones.

Biotechnological Applications of Microbial Pigments

, 2023
Microbial pigments have many structures and functions with excellent characteristics, such as being biodegradable, non-toxic, and ecologically friendly, constituting an important source of pigments. Industrial production presents a bottleneck in production cost that restricts large-scale commercialization.

The ocular albinism type 1 protein, an intracellular G protein-coupled receptor, regulates melanosome transport in pigment cells [PDF]

, 2008
The protein product of the ocular albinism type 1 gene, named OA1, is a pigment cell-specific G protein-coupled receptor exclusively localized to intracellular organelles, namely lysosomes and melanosomes.

Expression of cre recombinase in pigment cells

, 2002
Conditional gene targeting using the Cre/loxP system enables specific deletion of a gene in a tissue of interest. For application of Cre-mediated recombination in pigment cells, Cre expression has to be targeted to pigment cells in transgenic mice.

Bacterial Pigments and Their Multifaceted Roles in Contemporary Biotechnology and Pharmacological Applications

Microorganisms, 2023
Synthetic dyes and colourants have been the mainstay of the pigment industry for decades. Researchers are eager to find a more environment friendly and non-toxic substitute because these synthetic dyes have a negative impact on the environment and people’

Profound Re-Organization of Cell Surface Proteome in Equine Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells in Response to In Vitro Culturing [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of this study was to characterize the cell surface proteome of native compared to cultured equine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. The RPE plays an essential role in visual function and represents the outer blood-retinal barrier.

Characterizing a Purple Pigment Defect and Its Microbial Origin in Cheese Rinds

, 2018
Surface- ripened cheeses have a clear pattern of microbial succession which contributes to the overall quality of the product. These rinds typically contain the visible products of microbial activity including pigments, which contribute heavily to the ...

Coproporphyrin III Produced by the Bacterium Glutamicibacter arilaitensis Binds Zinc and Is Upregulated by Fungi in Cheese Rinds

mSystems, 2018
Microbial communities of fermented food microbiomes typically exhibit predictable patterns of microbial succession. However, the biochemical mechanisms that control the diversity and dynamics of these communities are not well described.

Microbiome and metagenomic analysis of Lake Hillier Australia reveals pigment-rich polyextremophiles and wide-ranging metabolic adaptations

Environmental Microbiome, 2022
Lake Hillier is a hypersaline lake known for its distinctive bright pink color. The cause of this phenomenon in other hypersaline sites has been attributed to halophiles, Dunaliella, and Salinibacter, however, a systematic analysis of the microbial ...
