Genetic analysis of D-xylose metabolism by endophytic yeast strains of Rhodotorula graminis and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011
Two novel endophytic yeast strains, WP1 and PTD3, isolated from within the stems of poplar (Populus) trees, were genetically characterized with respect to their xylose metabolism genes. These two strains, belonging to the species Rhodotorula graminis and

Oral PHGG ameliorates atopic dermatitis‐like dermatitis with concurrent modulation of colonic IgA and cecal microbiota: implications for the gut–skin axis

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is increasingly recognized as a systemic inflammatory disorder linked to intestinal immune and microbiome dysregulation. However, whether dietary galactomannan fibers can mitigate AD through coordinated modulation of the gut–skin axis remains unexplored.

Genomewide and Enzymatic Analysis Reveals Efficient d-Galacturonic Acid Metabolism in the Basidiomycete Yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides. [PDF]

, 2019
Biorefining of renewable feedstocks is one of the most promising routes to replace fossil-based products. Since many common fermentation hosts, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are naturally unable to convert many component plant cell wall ...

Identification of a xylose reductase gene in the xylose metabolic pathway of Kluyveromyces marxianus NBRC1777

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2011
Kluyveromyces marxianus is thermotolerant yeast that is able to utilize a wider range of substrates and has greater thermal tolerance than most other yeast species. K. marxianus can assimilate xylose, but its ability to produce ethanol from xylose in oxygen-limited environments is poor. In the present study, the K.

Probiotic fermented goat milk incorporated with blackberry (Rubus sp.): A novel functional food product

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study created functional fermented goat milk by adding blackberry pulp and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA‐5 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Bb‐12). The preparation involved two variations of fermented goat milk with blackberry (Rubus sp.), distinguished by the absence (fermented goat milk, FGM) or inclusion

Advancements in Mass Spectrometry‐Based Glycomics in Food and Nutritional Science

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review highlights advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based glycomics in food and nutritional science. Carbohydrates, which are vital for human health, exhibit complex structures, making their analysis challenging. MS has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the structures of carbohydrates, including glycans, through soft ...

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0132c Gene Product Mtb‐FGD2 Can Act as an F420‐Dependent Glucose Dehydrogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of the cell envelope‐associated Rv0132c/FGD2 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has long been a subject of debate. Importantly, FGD2 is found only in pathogenic mycobacteria, making it a potential drug target. While some suggest it functions as a glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase, others propose it acts instead as an F420‐dependent ...

PKA and HOG signaling contribute separable roles to anaerobic xylose fermentation in yeast engineered for biofuel production.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Lignocellulosic biomass offers a sustainable source for biofuel production that does not compete with food-based cropping systems. Importantly, two critical bottlenecks prevent economic adoption: many industrially relevant microorganisms cannot ferment ...

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

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.
