Prebiotic Petroleum

Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2014
This short communication summarizes a global and continuous reflection on the origins of life. "Prebiotic Petroleum" assumes that "the class of most complex molecules of life that may have geochemical and abiotic origin is the class of fatty acids with long aliphatic chains" and proposes a physical process for the formation of liposomes.

Prebiotics for Probiotics [PDF]

open access: possible, 2020
Owing to their perceived therapeutic effects, functional foods have been a matter of extensive research in recent years. Prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics are the important members of this family exhibiting property that improves health, mental well-being and particularly reflected as an outcome of optimized gastrointestinal health status. The most

Prebiotic Activation Processes

Nature, 1973
Questions regarding the combination of amino acids and ribonucleotides to polypeptides and polynucleotides are investigated. Each of the reactions considered occurs in the solid state in plausible prebiotic conditions. Together they provide the basis for a unified scheme of amino acid and nucleotide activation. Urea, imidazole and Mg(++) are essential

Thermodynamics of Prebiotic Phosphorylation

Chemical Reviews, 2019
The formation of organophosphate molecules by prebiotic processes relies on nonenzymatic synthesis. Given the centrality of phosphorylated biomolecules in metabolic, structural, and replicative processes, it is highly likely that such nonenzymatic synthesis had to occur early in Earth's history.

Tolerance of Probiotics and Prebiotics

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2004
The clinical efficacy of probiotics and prebiotics has been proved in several clinical settings. The authors review their proved or potential side effects. Probiotics as living microorganisms may theoretically be responsible for 4 types of side effects in susceptible individuals: infections, deleterious metabolic activities, excessive immune ...

Fate of Prebiotic Adenine

Astrobiology, 2001
Equilibrium adsorption isotherm data for the purine base adenine has been obtained on several prebiotically relevant minerals by frontal analysis using water as a mobile phase. Adenine is far displaced toward adsorption on pyrite (FeS2), quartz (SiO2), and pyrrhotite (FeS), but somewhat less for magnetite (Fe3O4) and forsterite (Mg2SiO4). The prebiotic

Prebiotic Synthesis on Minerals: Bridging the Prebiotic and RNA Worlds

The Biological Bulletin, 1999
An array of experimental findings suggest that the simple molecules required for the origin of life may have been available on the primitive Earth. The well-known MillerUrey electric discharge experiment yields HCN, amino acids, and carboxylic acids (1). Carbonaceous meteorites contain over 70 amino acids, some heterocyclic compounds, including purines,

Introduction to Prebiotics

2014
Most of our understanding of the human colonic microbiota is derived from studying the microbial contents of fecal samples, because it is impractical to access the human large intestine during normal digestion, and as an alternative, bacteria detected in feces are most representative of populations present in distal region of the intestine. The colonic

An overview of probiotics and prebiotics

Nursing Standard, 2007
This article reviews the origins and background of probiotics. Evidence for the potential mechanisms of probiotics and prebiotics, and their interactions with the gastrointestinal tract and the immune system are discussed. Evidence is examined for the use of probiotics to treat infantile diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease ...

Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics

2008
According to the German definition, probiotics are defined viable microorganisms, sufficient amounts of which reach the intestine in an active state and thus exert positive health effects. Numerous probiotic microorganisms (e.g. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, L. reuteri, bifidobacteria and certain strains of L. casei or the L.
