Probiotic products are generally defined as food supplements containing beneficial microbes that give heath benefits to consumers. A good probiotic should be non-pathogenic, non-toxic and capable of exerting beneficial ...
Zearalenone (ZEA) contamination in food samples plays a critical role in food safety, since it causes serious health problems. Usage of microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB), is a promising new approach for ...

The mrp homolog gene cluster mrpCD1D2EFGAB (Ap-mrp) was found in a halotolerant cyanobacterium, Aphanothece halophytica, amplified, and expressed in Escherichia coli mutant TO114. Ap-mrp complemented the salt-sensitive ...
Oil production from oil palm is adversely affected by drought and salt. Under drought and salt stress, proline content increases in oil palm; the mechanism for this is unknown. Here, an 8319-nucleotide sequence including ...
It has been reported that glycinebetaine (betaine) is synthesized in response to abiotic stresses via a two-step oxidation of choline in which choline monooxygenase (CMO) and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) are ...
The quinate dehydrogenase (QDH) from Gluconobacter oxydans IFO3244 exhibits high affinity for quinate, sug gesting its application in shikimate production. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the qdh gene revealed a full ...
Pseudomonas putida HK5 produces three different quinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases: ADH-I, ADH-IIB and ADH-IIG. Gene organization of qedA, the gene for ADH-I, and other 10 genes in the cluster was related to the genome ...
The transcriptional regulation of three distinct alcohol oxidation systems, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)-I, ADH-IIB and ADH-IIG, in Pseudomonas putida HK5 was investigated under various induction conditions. The promoter ...
The antioxidant activities of 24 isoflavonoids that were previously isolated as pure compounds from Dalbergia parviflora were evaluated using three different in vitro antioxidant-based assay systems: xanthine/xanthine ...
While attempting to isolate the enzyme geranylgeraniol 18-hydroxylase, which is involved in plaunotol biosynthesis in Croton stellatopilosus (Cs), the cDNAs for a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase(designated as CYP76F45) and ...
Advances in understanding lung cancer biology and tumor markers aid clinicians in managing the disease. Cancer-associated antigen (CA)125 has garnered increasing attention in lung cancer research and may benefit the treatment ...
