13C labeling of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and carbon conversion efficiency in lesquerella (Physaria fendleri) embryos [PDF]
Lesquerella (Physaria fendleri) is a Brassicaceae that produces a valuable class of compounds in its embryos called hydroxy fatty acids. These fatty acids are used widely in industry to produce cosmetics, coatings, greases, plastics, paints, and biofuel,

Abstract Solid fat added to the continuous phase of water‐in‐oil (W/O) high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) was assessed for its effects on aqueous droplet size, microstructure, and rheology during storage for one month. The emulsions consisted of 76 wt% water and a continuous phase composed of up to 2.4 wt% fully hydrogenated soybean oil ...

3′-UTR engineering to improve soluble expression and fine-tuning of activity of cascade enzymes in Escherichia coli [PDF]
3'-Untranslated region (3'UTR) engineering was investigated to improve solubility of heterologous proteins (e.g., Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs)) in Escherichia coli.

Feedstock chemicals are commonly used as starting materials for specialty chemicals and their derivatization often involves oxidation reactions. Herein we report that nitroarenes can be used as photo‐responsive oxidants to achieve both the ozonolysis‐style oxidative cleavage and 1,2‐dihydroxylation of unsaturated fatty acids. The method requires simple

Empirical modelling as an experimental approach to optimize lactone production [PDF]
The biotransformation of ricinoleic acid, carried out by Yarrowia lipolytica, leads to the formation of gama-decalactone, a well-known peach-like aroma compound, interesting to produce and to use in the flavouring industry, reason why it is imperative to
