The bioconversion of xylose to xylitol by Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037 cultivated in sugar cane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolyzate was influenced by cell inoculum level, age of inoculum
and hydrolyzate concentration. The maximum xylitol productivity (0.75 g L−1 h−1) occurred in tests carried out with hydrolyzate containing 54.5 g L−1 of xylose, using 3.0 g L−1 of a 24-h-old inoculum. Xylitol productivity and cell concentration decreased with hydrolyzate containing 74.2 g L−1 of xylose.

Early evolution of metazoan serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases: identification of selected kinases in marine sponges 总被引:14,自引:1,他引:13
The phylum Porifera (sponges) was the first to diverge from the common
ancestor of the Metazoa. In this study, six cDNAs coding for protein-
serine/threonine kinases (PS/TKs) are presented; they have been isolated
from libraries obtained from the demosponges Geodia cydonium and Suberites
domuncula and from the calcareous sponge Sycon raphanus. Sequence
alignments of the catalytic domains revealed that two major families of
PS/TK, the "conventional" (Ca(2+)-dependent) protein kinase C (PKC), the
cPKC subfamily, as well as the "novel" (Ca(2+)- independent) PKC (nPKC),
form two separate clusters. In each cluster, the sequence from S. raphanus
diverges first. To approach the question about the origin of
protein-tyrosine kinases (PTK), which are found only in Metazoa, we
analyzed two additional PS/TKs which have been cloned from S. domuncula:
the stress-responsive protein kinase (KRSvSD) and the
protein-kinase-C-related kinase (PRKvSD). The construction of the
phylogenetic tree, comprising the eight PS/TKs and the PTK cloned
previously from G. cydonium, revealed that the PTK derived from the branch
including the KRSvSD kinase. These data facilitate the first molecular
approach to elucidate the origin of metazoan PTK within the PS/TK
superfamily.

After re-emergence of malaria in 1993, a continued increase in Plasmodium vivax cases was observed from 1993 to 2006 in northern Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces adjacent to the demilitarized zone separating North from South Korea. Annual parasite incidence per 1000 people ranged from 0.33 in 2004 to 0.89 in 2006. While malaria case rates declined (22.6%) in 2004, they increased 75.1% in 2005 and 51.7% in 2006 from the previous years. An initial incorrect diagnosis of 46.8% of malaria cases as common cold resulted in a mean delay of 1.3 days for the detection malarial parasites. Of the total cases, 10.2% from December to May were due to latent intrinsic incubation infections acquired the previous malaria season and the rest of the cases from June to November were either latent or short incubation infections. Overall, the peak anopheline population occurred from July to September, resulting in a similar peak in malaria cases. While malaria cases increased during 2005–2006, anopheline populations, based on trap indices, were not significantly different during 4 years of surveillance. To decrease the malaria patient infective period to mosquitoes, public health centers in Paju and Cheorwon in 2006 prescribed chloroquine + primaquine at days 0–3 after initial malaria diagnosis followed by an additional 11 days of primaquine (early primaquine treatment), rather than chloroquine on days 0–3 and primaquine on days 4–17 (delayed primaquine treatment). A reduction in the malaria parasite incidence during 2007 was recorded for the two locations offering the early primaquine treatment relative to other locations using the delayed primaquine treatment. 相似文献

Background
The analysis of microarray experiments requires accurate and up-to-date functional annotation of the microarray reporters to optimize the interpretation of the biological processes involved. Pathway visualization tools are used to connect gene expression data with existing biological pathways by using specific database identifiers that link reporters with elements in the pathways. 相似文献15.

Summary The possible role of extracellular calcium ([Ca+2]e) in cryopreservation-induced cytotoxicity was tested using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and a fluorescent multiple
endpoint assay. MDCK cells maintained in 2 mM [Ca+2]e and treated with the calcium ionophore, ionomycin, increased their intracellular calcium ([Ca+2]i) as revealed by the calcium indicator dye, Fluo3 and the bottom-reading spectrofluorometer, CytoFluor 2300. The addition
of 10 mM [ethylene bis (oxyethylenenitrilo)]-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) to the extracellular medium before treatment with ionomycin blocked
this ionomycin-dependent increase in [Ca+2]i. A number of site and activity-specific fluorescent probes were surveyed to determine which indicator dye might best reveal
the ionomycin-induced cytotoxic events during this increase in [Ca+2]i. Although most dyes changed their emission profiles in response to calcium, neutral red was found to best reflect the loss
of [Ca+2]i homeostasis. The NR50 for a 15-min exposure to ionomycin in the presence of 2 mM [Ca+2]e was approximately 2μM ionomycin, but ionomycin had little apparent effect on neutral red retention when 10 mM EGTA was added to the extracellular medium. Thus it was clear that an increase in [Ca+2]i could be cytotoxic to MDCK cells and that neutral red could monitor this cytotoxic episode. To test if [Ca+2]e was similarly cytotoxic during cryopreservation, MDCK cells were subjected to cryopreservation in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO). In contrast to previous studies, plasma membrane integrity, not lysosomal function, seemed to best correlate with
cell survival subsequent to cryopreservation. In addition, decreasing [Ca+2]e had no discernable effect on the retention of plasma membrane indicator dyes, neutral red, or cell survival. It is concluded
that a) plasma membrane indicator dyes, not neutral red, might be better indicators of cytotoxicity occurring during cryopreservation;
b) DMSO might be toxic to lysosomes during cryopreservation of cultured cells; and c) although [Ca+2]e can contribute to cytotoxicity, the presence of [Ca+2]e might not influence cryopreservation-induced cytotoxicity. 相似文献

We have identified a novel N -acetylgalactosaminyltransferase activity in
lactating bovine mammary gland membranes. Acceptor specificity studies and
analysis of products obtained in vitro by 400 MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy
revealed that the enzyme catalyses the transfer of N - acetylgalactosamine
(GalNAc) from UDP-GalNAc to acceptor substrates carrying a terminal,
beta-linked N -acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residue and establishes a
beta1-->4-linkage forming a GalNAcbeta1-->4GlcNAc ( N, N
'-diacetyllactosediamine, lacdiNAc) unit. Therefore, the enzyme can be
identified as a UDP-GalNAc:GlcNAcbeta-R beta1-->4-N-
acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (beta4-GalNAcT). This enzyme resembles
invertebrate beta4-GalNAcT as well as mammalian beta4-
galactosyltransferase (beta4-GalT) in acceptor specificity. It can,
however, be clearly distinguished from the pituitary hormone-specific
beta4-GalNAcT by its incapability of acting with an elevated activity on a
glycoprotein substrate carrying a hormone-specific peptide motif.
Furthermore, the GalNAcT activity appeared not to be due to a promiscuous
action of a beta4-GalT as could be demonstrated by comparing the
beta4-GalNAcT and beta4-GalT activities of the mammary gland, bovine
colostrum, and purified beta4-GalT, by competition studies with UDP-GalNAc
and UDP-Gal, and by use of an anti-beta4-GalT polyclonal inhibiting
antibody. Interestingly, under conditions where mammalian beta4-GalT forms
with alpha-lactalbumin (alpha-LA) the lactose synthase complex, the mammary
gland beta4-GalNAcT was similarly induced by alpha-LA to act on Glc with an
increased efficiency yielding the lactose analog GalNAcbeta1-->4Glc.
This enzyme thus forms the second example of a mammalian
glycosyltransferase the specificity of which can be modified by this milk
protein. It is proposed that the mammary gland beta4-GalNAcT functions in
the synthesis of lacdiNAc- based, complex-type glycans frequently occurring
on bovine milk glycoproteins. The action of this enzyme is to be considered
when aiming at the production of properly glycosylated protein
biopharmaceuticals in the milk of transgenic dairy animals.

Candida guilliermondii cells were immobilized in Ca-alginate beads and used for xylitol production from concentrated sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate during five successive fermentation batches, each lasting 48 hours. The bioconversion efficiency of 53.2%, the productivity of 0.50 g/l x h and the final xylitol concentration of 23.8 g/l obtained in the first batch increased to 61.5%, 0.59 g/l x h and 28.4 g/l, respectively, in the other four batches (mean values), with variation coefficients of up to 2.3%. 相似文献

The fluorescence characteristics of sitagliptin phosphate were used to develop a methodology that allowed its determination in pharmaceutical formulations and urine samples; under the studied conditions, limits of determination and quantification of 0.25 and, respectively, 0.85 mg/L were achieved. Linear correlation between fluorescence analytical signal and sitagliptin concentration was achieved up to 10.0 mg/L. The method was considered selective for sitagliptin determination in pharmaceutical formulations because no interferences due to excipients present in considered matrix were observed (as demonstrated by recovery tests comparing analytical and addition curves). When the method was applied to urine samples, Interferences related to the matrix were observed, which made a solid‐phase extraction system necessary. The use of calibration was possible only by applying the standard addition method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Chemically pre-treated brewer’s spent grain was saccharified with cellulase producing a hydrolysate with approx. 50 g glucose l−1. This hydrolysate was used as a fermentation medium without any nutrient supplementation by Lactobacillus delbrueckii, which produced L-lactic acid (5.4 g l−1) at 0.73 g g−1 glucose consumed (73% efficiency). An inoculum of 1 g dry cells l−1 gave the best yield of the process, but the pH decrease affected the microorganism capacity to consume glucose and convert
it into lactic acid. 相似文献
