The growth benefits and toxicity of quinone biosynthesis are balanced by a dual regulatory mechanism and substrate limitations [PDF]

open access: yesmBio
Quinones play a central role in maintaining redox balance and conserving energy but can trigger oxidative stress at high levels. However, the mechanisms by which microbes regulate quinone levels remain poorly understood, hindering effective metabolic ...

Phenolic signals for prehaustorium formation in Striga hermonthica

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Striga hermonthica is a root parasitic plant that causes considerable crop yield losses. To parasitize host plants, parasitic plants develop a specialized organ called the haustorium that functions in host invasion and nutrient absorption. The initiation

Determination of Amino Acidity in Japanese Sake Based on the Voltammetric Measurement of Surplus Acid by Quinone Reduction

open access: yesElectrochemistry, 2022
In this paper, we propose voltammetry for determining amino acidity in Japanese sake. The measurement principle of this voltammetric method is based on a concept of acid-base back titration and a decrease of cathodic prepeak current of 3,5-di-tert-butyl ...
