Selective Quenching of Peracetic Acid by Sodium Dithionite Enables Rapid, Non-Thermal Sterilization for Euglena gracilis Cultivation [PDF]
MicroorganismsPeracetic acid (PAA) has strong biocidal activity against bacteria, fungi, and spores, even with short contact times. PAA-mediated sterilization is therefore an attractive method for sterilization of growth media that have heat-labile components or when ...

Development of screening strategies for the identification of paramylon-degrading enzymes
Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019 Abstract Enzymatic degradation of the β-1,3-glucan paramylon could enable the production of bioactive compounds for healthcare and renewable substrates for biofuels. However, few enzymes have been found to degrade paramylon efficiently and their enzymatic mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Biobased ionic liquids as solvents of paramylon
Journal of Molecular Liquids, 2023 Paramylon is a linear glucan produced by Euglena gracilis microalgae as water insoluble intracellular granules. Its macromolecular structure contains only B(1-3) linkages, resulting in a stable triple helix conformation and a high crystallinity. It is soluble in very few solvents such as DMSO, harsh alkaline or acid solutions and imidazolium ionic ...

Thermoplasticization of Paramylon by Ionic Liquids
Paramylon is a rare glucan produced by Euglena gracilis microalgae as intracellular energy storage granules. Its linear macromolecular structure involves β(1-3) glycosidic linkages that induce a triple helix conformation. This structure gives unique bioactive immunomodulating properties with potential anti-inflammatory effects. However, it also results
