Microbial community dynamics during composting of sewage sludge and straw studied through phospholipid and neutral lipid analysis [PDF]
, 2008 The composting process involves a succession of different communities of microorganisms that decompose the initial material, transforming it into a stable final product. In thiswork, the levels of phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA), neutral lipid fatty acid (

Functional characterization of squalene synthase and squalene epoxidase in Taraxacum koksaghyz [PDF]
Plant Direct, 2018 AbstractThe Russian dandelion Taraxacum koksaghyz produces high‐value isoprenoids such as pentacyclic triterpenes and natural rubber in the latex of specialized cells known as laticifers. Squalene synthase (SQS) and squalene epoxidase (SQE) catalyze key steps in the biosynthesis of cyclic terpenoids, but neither enzyme has yet been characterized in T ...

Ergosterol reduction impairs mitochondrial DNA maintenance in S. cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2019 Sterols are essential lipids, involved in many biological processes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the enzymes of the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway (Erg proteins) are localized in different cellular compartments.

Diatoms synthesize sterols by inclusion of animal and fungal genes in the plant pathway [PDF]
, 2020 Diatoms are ubiquitous microalgae that have developed remarkable metabolic plasticity and gene diversification. Here we report the first elucidation of the complete biosynthesis of sterols in the lineage.

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2008 Squalene, an isoprenoid antioxidant is a potential cytoprotective agent against chemotherapy-induced toxicity. We have previously published that squalene protects light-density bone marrow cells against cis-diamminedichloroplatinum( II) (cisplatin ...

Green Microalgae Strain Improvement for the Production of Sterols and Squalene
Plants, 2021 Sterols and squalene are essential biomolecules required for the homeostasis of eukaryotic membrane permeability and fluidity. Both compounds have beneficial effects on human health. As the current sources of sterols and squalene are plant and shark oils,

Migration of latent fingermarks on non-porous surfaces:observation technique and nanoscale variations [PDF]
, 2017 Latent fingermark morphology was examined over a period of approximately two months. Variation in topography was observed with atomic force microscopy and the expansion of the fingermark occurred in the form of the development of an intermediate area ...
