Beyond FimH: Diversity and Relevance of Carbohydrate‐Binding Fimbrial Proteins in Escherichia coli

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
This review discusses fimbrial lectins found in Escherichia coli (E. coli) other than FimH, which could be targeted to treat E. coli pathogenicity as an alternative to antibiotic treatment. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for multiple diseases in humans and animals.

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.

Phenolic Composition and Arabinoxylan Characterization of Pearled Barley Fractions

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Two hulless barley varieties (Peru‐35 and Roseland) were pearled into six fractions and analyzed for primary phenolic acids via HPLC, along with the arabinoxylan content and degree of substitution (arabinose to xylose (A/X) ratio) using gas chromatography.

Techno‐Economic Assessment of Biofuels Production From Sugarcane Bagasse

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cooperative effect of climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and global fossil fuel depletion necessitates the production and use of renewable energy nationally and globally. The need for more energy‐producing methods is growing as energy consumption rises.

Effect of variety, growing region and growing season on digestible energy content of wheats grown in Western Australia for weaner pigs [PDF]

, 2004
An experiment was conducted to examine the digestible energy (DE) content for weanling pigs in a cohort of wheats grown in Western Australia, and to establish relationships between DE content and their chemical composition.

Metabolic engineering of a xylose-isomerase-expressing strain for rapid anaerobic xylose fermentation [PDF]

FEMS Yeast Research, 2005
After an extensive selection procedure, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains that express the xylose isomerase gene from the fungus Piromyces sp. E2 can grow anaerobically on xylose with a mu(max) of 0.03 h(-1). In order to investigate whether reactions downstream of the isomerase control the rate of xylose consumption, we overexpressed structural genes ...

The Role of Proteins in the Sensory Perception/Organoleptic Properties of Food

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Protein structure controls sensory attributes such as flavor, texture, and aroma. This can occur during amino acid breakdown, Maillard reactions and lipid–protein interactions which generate flavor profiles. Bioactive peptides also provide taste and health benefits.

Association of improved oxidative stress tolerance and alleviation of glucose repression with superior xylose-utilization capability by a natural isolate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild strains generally have poor xylose-utilization capability, which is a major barrier for efficient bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass.
