Malate synthase gene expression during fruit ripening of Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata cv. Williams).
Malate synthase (MS) is a key enzyme responsible for malic acid synthesis in the glyoxylate cycle, which functions to convert stored lipids to carbohydrates, by catalysing the glyoxylate condensation reaction with acetyl-CoA in the peroxisome. In this study, the cloning of an MS cDNA, designated MaMS-1, from the banana fruit is reported. MaMS-1 was 1801 bp in length encoding a single polypeptid...
متن کاملStudy of Banana Peel (Musa sapientum) as a Cationic Biosorbent
The efficacy of the Banana peel (Musa sapientum) biomass was tested for the removal of lead, copper, zinc and nickel metal ions using batch experiments in single and binary metal solution under controlled experimental conditions. It is found that metal sorption increases when the equilibrium metal concentration rises. At highest experimental solution concentration used (150 mg/L), the removal o...
متن کاملShelf Life Extension of Banana (musa Sapientum) by Gamma Radiation
The effect of gamma radiation on the shelf life extension of Bananas was studied. Bananas were treated with three gamma radiation doses of 0.30k Gy; 0.40k Gy and 0.50k Gy for 5 mins respectively and stored in a dry place under room conditions (25±2°C/ 80± 5% RH). The physical conditions of the radiation treated and control bananas were observed at every 2 days interval for their organoleptic pr...
متن کاملEnzymatic decarboxylation of oxalic acid.
Large quantities of oxalic acid accumulate in the cell sap of various plants and as a major product of carbohydrate metabolism by many molds. A recent investigation in our laboratory revealed that oxalic acid was produced from oxalacetic acid by an enzyme system which was isolated from the mycelia of Aspergillus niger (1). It was also demonstrated that oxalic acid was converted to formic acid a...
متن کاملEnzymatic Decarboxylation of Oxalic Acid* by William
Although it has been recognized that oxalic acid is decomposed by a variety of microorganisms (2-6), relatively little is known of the details of oxalic acid metabolism. The present study represents an attempt to establish the mechanism of oxalate degradation at the enzyme level by the use of a bacterium isolated from soil. Partially purified enzyme preparations obtained from the organism catal...
