Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]
, 2016 Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex noncommunicable condition characterized by central obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia. Epidemiological evidence shows that MetS affects a third of the global population; however, due to its complex pathogenesis and limited drug therapy options, the increasing ...

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigates the production scale‐up of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by Ensifer meliloti SEMIA 135 from shake flasks to a 5 L bench‐scale fed‐batch bioreactor. Soybean molasses was the cost‐effective nutrient source. The primary aim was to improve conditions for maximizing EPS yield and minimizing production costs.

Rational and evolutionary engineering approaches uncover a small set of genetic changes efficient for rapid xylose fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Economic bioconversion of plant cell wall hydrolysates into fuels and chemicals has been hampered mainly due to the inability of microorganisms to efficiently co-ferment pentose and hexose sugars, especially glucose and xylose, which are the most ...

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.Sprague‐Dawley rats were used to investigate postprandial metabolic and inflammatory responses following the consumption of an energy‐dense meal. Time‐resolved plasma and liver analyses revealed fluctuations in bile acid levels, particularly cholic acid, along with changes in metabolic intermediates, oxylipins, and inflammatory markers.

Parathyroid hormone-related peptide stimulates intestinal strontium absorption in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) [PDF]
, 2008 The present work was undertaken to evaluate the stimulatory effect of Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) on the intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption using stable strontium (Sr) as a surgoate marker in 10 Camels.
