The effects of ethylene on sweetpotato storage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important food security crop in many parts of the developing world. Despite its economic value and growing contribution to nutrition and health in tropical and sub-tropical countries, sweetpotato has a ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Cold vs. Room Temperature: A Comparative Analysis of Platelet Functionality in Cold Storage

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background: The platelet functionality of cold-stored platelets remains a subject of debate. Our aim was to investigate the effect of temperature on the hemostatic properties of stored platelets.

Adverse Effects, Transformation and Channeling of Aflatoxins Into Food Raw Materials in Livestock

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Aflatoxins are wide-spread harmful carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, which cause serious feed and food contaminations and affect farm animals deleteriously with acute or chronic manifestations of mycotoxicoses.

Effect of storage conditions on the performance of nitrocellulose test strips used in lateral flow assays

open access: yes, 2021
The effect of long-term storage of membrane materials on the performance of lateral flow assays (LFAs) has never been studied. We experimentally examined the impact of common lab storage conditions on the performance of different types of membrane ...

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

Optimization of In Vitro Germination, Viability Tests and Storage of Daylily (Hemerocallis spp.) Pollen

open access: yesPlants
Daylily (Hemerocallis spp.) are perennial herbaceous flowers with high ornamental and medicinal value. Currently, the breeding of new daylily cultivars was mainly achieved through hybrid breeding, but issues such as self-incompatibility, hybridization ...

Test anxiety and metamemory: General preference for external over internal information storage. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Substantial evidence suggests that test anxiety is associated with poor memory performance. The relationship between test anxiety and metamemory, however, has remained largely unexplored.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...
