TL;DR: To enhance the generated electrical power, the potential application of several organic compounds as mediators in a C. melibiosica-based fuel cell was examined and methylene blue, methyl orange, methyl red and neutral red significantly increased the current and power outputs in comparison with those obtained with a mediatorless yeast- based fuel cell.

TL;DR: Pectin was found to be potential encapsulation material for probiotic cell production owing to its stability and favourable microenvironment for cell growth.

TL;DR: ClO(2) treatment was a promising approach to preserve mulberry fruit with no significant risks of chemical residues and was effective in retention of flavonoid, ascorbic acid, reducing sugar, and titratable acid.

TL;DR: The results indicated that part of the Tween 80 added to the medium was utilized as a carbon source or that the oleate included in T. aureum cells as a fatty acid was directly incorporated into T.

TL;DR: It is believed that an ssDNA aptamer that specifically binds to SARS CoV nucleocapsid protein may be a good alternative detection probe for the rapid and sensitive detection of SARS.

TL;DR: The development of an anti-tumor drug, PG, that can be naturally produced by microorganisms is described, and the microbial production system, fermentation strategies, purification and identification processes are evaluated.

TL;DR: The amino acid sequence comparisons with α-glucosidases showed that a bulky hydrophobic amino acid residue is conserved at the position of Val216 in α-1,6-glUCosidic linkage hydrolyzing enzymes, which may be largely responsible for determining the substrate specificity of α- Gln279, and two isomaltase mutant enzymes - V216T and Q279A - hydrolyzed maltose.

TL;DR: The high selenate- and selenite-reducing capability at high concentrations suggested that strain NT-I is suitable for the removal of selenium from high-strength industrial wastewater.

TL;DR: The sensory quality ranking of Japanese green tea (Sen-cha) was evaluated and predicted using volatile profiling and multivariate data analyses and several volatile compounds highly contributed to model prediction.

TL;DR: Mutant EU2-77 proved to be the most promising extracellular cellulase producer among 20 mutants in a screening program performed in shake flask fermentation after plate screening, rendering the supplementation of β-glucosidase unnecessary in waste newspaper hydrolysis.

TL;DR: A gene encoding the Zn(II)(2)Cys(6) transcriptional factor was determined to be essential for KA production and the transcriptional activation of KA biosynthetic genes, which were triggered by the addition to Aspergillus oryzae.

TL;DR: Results suggested that the HA scaffold with RCM was a promising chondrogenic culture system of AD-MSCs, and that BMP-2 could potentially serve as a chondrocytes and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells for cartilage regeneration.

TL;DR: Microbial community structure analysis revealed that the phylum Firmicutes dominated in the ammonia production, but the community structure changed at different sludge retention times, and in dry anaerobic digestion, the dominant bacteria shifted from thephylum Thermotogae to Firmicute.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metallic copper has an antibacterial effect against Bcc bacteria and that copper adversely affects the bacterial cellular structure, thus resulting in cell death, suggesting that copper could be utilized in health care facilities to reduce the bioburden of Bcc species, which may protect susceptible members of the community from bacterial infection.

TL;DR: This study contributes to the improvement of VHG processes by identifying yeast isolates and gathering yeast physiological information during the intensified fermentation process, which, besides elucidating important differences between these industrial and laboratory strains, can drive further process optimization.

TL;DR: Purified XynS14 showed more endo-1,4-β-xylanase activity on xylan and xylooligosaccharides than on xylotriose, which may be due to protein-folding in the host.

TL;DR: The computational model and the experimental results confirm that impact forces are highly dependent on the deposition substrate and that soft and viscous surfaces can reduce the forces acting on the droplet, preventing cell damage.

TL;DR: An indigenously isolated strain of Bacillus sphaericus was found to produce 1.21 IU/ml of tannase under unoptimized conditions; a 9.26-fold increase in tann enzyme production was achieved upon further optimization using response surface methodology (RSM), a statistical approach.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggested that there was an increase in the antioxidant activity of fermented kimchi during the fermentation and ripening processes.

TL;DR: D-allose suppresses ROS production in the mitochondria due to competition with D-glucose at the cellular level, suggesting that the anti-oxidative activity of the rare sugar D- allose has recently been reported.

TL;DR: The batch operation of R. glutinis at the low DO was suggested for the purpose of lipid production; the total production of lipids in the batch with lowDO was higher that of the high DO batch due to the enhancement of lipid accumulation.
