Abstract The influence of pretreatment of rice bran oil using fluorescent and sunlight radiations on its colour and their influence on its chemical composition and oxidative stability were assessed. Rice bran oil was stored under sunlight, fluorescent light and ambient conditions for 60 days. Oil samples were collected every 15 days for analysis.

Hopanoid lipids may facilitate aerobic nitrogen fixation in the ocean. [PDF]
Cyanobacterial diazotrophs are considered to be the most important source of fixed N2 in the open ocean. Biological N2 fixation is catalyzed by the extremely O2-sensitive nitrogenase enzyme.

Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Intermembrane transfer of squalene promoted by supernatant protein factor
Supernatant protein factor (SPF), a protein that stimulates squalene epoxidation, mediates the transfer of squalene between two separable microsomal populations (Kojima, Y., E. J. Friedlander, and K. Bloch, 1981. J. Biol Chem. 256: 7235-7239).

Inhibition of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthesis in in vitro systems [PDF]
The incorporation of [14C]mevalonate and [14C]isopentenyl diphosphate into geranylgeranyl diphosphate was investigated in in vitro systems from Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) endosperm and from Avena sativa etioplasts.
