Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomasses, the first step in their conversion to utilizable molecules requires very high energy
(steam and electricity), corrosion resistant high-pressure reactors and high temperatures. These severe conditions not only
add to the cost component of the entire process but also lead to the loss of sugars to the side reactions. Microbial pretreatments
have been reported to be associated with reducing the cost factors as well as the severities of the reactions. Eight bioagents,
including fungi and bacteria, were screened for their pretreatment effects on sugarcane trash. They narrowed down the C:N
ratio of trash from 108:1 to a varying range of approximately 42:1 to 60:1.The maximum drop in C:N ratio of 61% was observed
using Aspergillus terreus followed by Cellulomonas uda (52%) and Trichoderma reesei and Zymomonas mobilis (49%). The bioagents helped in degradation of sugarcane trash by production of cellulases, the maximum being produced by
A. terreus, (12 fold) followed by C. uda (10 fold), Cellulomonas cartae (9 fold) and Bacillus macerans (8 fold). The microbial pretreatment of trash rendered the easy accessibility of sugars for enzymatic hydrolysis, which can be directed
for production of alcohol. 相似文献

The accumulation of intracellular protein deposits as inclusion bodies is the common pathological hallmark of most age related
neurodegenerative disorders including polyglutamine diseases. Appearances of aggregates of the misfolded mutant disease proteins
suggest that the cells are unable to efficiently degrade them, and failure of clearance leads to the severe disturbances of
the cellular quality control system. The quality control ubiquitin ligases are now increasingly implicated in the biology
of polyglutamine diseases, Parkinson’s diseases, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Here we review the recent studies that have revealed a critical role of E3 ubiquitin ligases in understanding the
pathogenesis of polyglutamine diseases. 相似文献

The present study examined the toxic effects of Cr(VI; 100, 250 and 500 μM) in maize seedlings by investigating the changes in carbohydrate metabolism after 48, 96, and 144 h of exposure. Cr-stress results in severe alterations in the contents of carbohydrates and reducing sugars and the activities of carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes, amylases, phosphatases and phosphorylases, and invertases in maize seedlings. Under Cr stress, the contents of carbohydrates and reducing sugars declined in roots, whereas an increase was noticed in leaves. The catalytic activity of carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes, except invertases, in roots declined in the presence of Cr(VI) in a concentration- and exposure time-dependent manner. In contrast, the activities of these enzymes were enhanced in leaves under Cr(VI) stress. The activity of invertases increased with increasing amount of Cr(VI) but declined with an increase in the time interval. In conclusion, our results show that carbohydrate metabolism is severely affected under Cr(VI) toxicity. The study suggests that Cr-induced perturbations in the carbohydrate metabolism are one of the factors resulting in growth inhibition under Cr(VI) stress. 相似文献

Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, has long been known to be capable of forming aggregates and colonies. It was recently demonstrated that Borrelia burgdorferi aggregate formation dramatically changes the in vitro response to hostile environments by this pathogen. In this study, we investigated the hypothesis that these aggregates are indeed biofilms, structures whose resistance to unfavorable conditions are well documented. We studied Borrelia burgdorferi for several known hallmark features of biofilm, including structural rearrangements in the aggregates, variations in development on various substrate matrices and secretion of a protective extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix using several modes of microscopic, cell and molecular biology techniques. The atomic force microscopic results provided evidence that multilevel rearrangements take place at different stages of aggregate development, producing a complex, continuously rearranging structure. Our results also demonstrated that Borrelia burgdorferi is capable of developing aggregates on different abiotic and biotic substrates, and is also capable of forming floating aggregates. Analyzing the extracellular substance of the aggregates for potential exopolysaccharides revealed the existence of both sulfated and non-sulfated/carboxylated substrates, predominately composed of an alginate with calcium and extracellular DNA present. In summary, we have found substantial evidence that Borrelia burgdorferi is capable of forming biofilm in vitro. Biofilm formation by Borrelia species might play an important role in their survival in diverse environmental conditions by providing refuge to individual cells. 相似文献

BackgroundTriple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer with limited treatment modalities. It is associated with high propensity of cancer recurrence.MethodsUV Spectroscopy, FTIR, DLS, Zeta potential, TEM and SEM were employed to characterize nanoparticles. MTT assay, Wound healing assay, SEM, Immunocytochemistry analysis, Western blot, RT-PCR, mammosphere formation assay were employed to study apoptosis, cell migration and stemness. Tumor regression was studied in chick embryo xenograft and BALB/c mice model.ResultsHylaluronic acid engrafted metformin loaded graphene oxide (HA-GO-Met) nanoparticles exhibited an anti-cancer efficacy at much lower dosage as compared to metformin alone. HA-GO-Met nanoparticles induced apoptosis and inhibited cell migration of TNBC cells by targeting miR-10b/PTEN axis via NFkB-p65. Upregulation of PTEN affected pAKT(473) expression that induced apoptosis. Cell migration was inhibited by reduction of pFAK/integrinβ1 expressions. Treatment inhibited epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and reduced stemness as evident from the increase in E-cadherin expression, inhibition of mammosphere formation and low expression levels of stemness markers including nanog, oct4 and sox2 as compared to control. Moreover, tumor regression was studied in chick embryo xenograft and BALB/c mice model. HA-GO-Met nanoparticle treatment reduced tumor load and nullified toxicity in peripheral organs imparted by tumor.ConclusionsHA-GO-Met nanoparticles exhibited an enormous anti-cancer efficacy in TNBC in vitro and in vivo.General significanceHA-GO-Met nanoparticles induced apoptosis and attenuated cell migration in TNBC. It nullified overall toxicity imparted by tumor load. It inhibited EMT and reduced stemness and thereby addressed the issue of cancer recurrence. 相似文献

Toxicological studies have demonstrated the relation between use of agrochemicals and fertility issues within males. Thus, the present study aimed to elucidate the propensity of cypermethrin (CYP) in bringing testicular germ cell apoptosis and effective attenuation by vitamins C and E in caprines. Reproductive toxicity of CYP was evaluated using histomorphological, cytological, and biochemical changes in the testicular germ cells in dose‐dependent (1, 5, 10 μg/mL) and time‐dependent (4, 6, 8 h) manner. Histological and ethidium bromide/acridine orange fluorescence staining exhibited that vitamins C and E (0.5 and 1.0 mM) successfully diminished the CYP‐induced testicular germ cells apoptosis. CYP exposure along with vitamins C and E supplementation also resulted in significantly increased ferric reducing antioxidant power activity along with the antioxidant enzymes, namely catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione‐s‐transferase, and decreased lipid peroxidation in testicular germ cells. Thus, vitamins C and E ameliorated CYP‐induced testicular germ cell apoptosis, thereby preventing spermatogonial cells degeneration and male infertility. 相似文献

The sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr) were isolated by hot water method using 80% alcohol and semi purified by anion-exchange column chromatography. The chemical analysis of the extract showed 78% carbohydrates, 18% reducing sugars, 60% non-reducing sugars, 2% protein, 33% sulfate, 39% uronic acid, and 4% ash. The elemental analysis of this C. reinhardtii sulfated polysaccharide-enriched extract (Cr-SPs) showed 53% carbon, 8% hydrogen, and 6% nitrogen. FTIR analysis of Cr-SPs showed characteristic bands of sulfated polysaccharides. Further, the Cr-SPs showed significant hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of 22.29–80.9% at 0.01–1 mg mL?1, 38–77% of DPPH radical scavenging activity at 0.01–1 mg mL?1, 9.8–81% ABTS radical scavenging activity, 34.5–67.6% of ferrous chelating ability, and 11.62–75% of total antioxidant capacity. Cr-SPs also showed efficient in vitro anticancer activity. Specifically, they inhibited triple-negative breast cancer cell (MDA-MB-231) proliferation with an IC50 of 172 μg mL?1. Concentration-dependent reduction in the number of colonies formed by MDA-MB-231 cells suggested their potential to inhibit the clonal expansion of the cancer cells. Higher concentrations of crude extract were found to disrupt the microtubule networks in these cells. The cells treated with Cr-SPs eventually underwent apoptosis as evidenced by the formation of characteristic DNA ladder. These results indicate that Cr-SPs find promising opportunities for cancer treatment. 相似文献
