EFFECTS OF PATHOGEN-RELATED PROTEINS FROM BARLEY GRAIN ON BREWERS YEAST

Choline Kinase from Brewers’ Yeast

Choline kinase was purified approximately 300-fold, in 5% yield, from an autolysate of dried brewers’ yeast. A molecular weight of 67,000 was estimated using a Stokes radius of 33 A, as determined by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. An s~,,,~ of 4.8 S was obtained by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Enzyme activity was diminished by sulfhydryl inhibitors and stabilized by the presence of ...

Effects of barley grain particle size on dairy cow performance

Second Generation Ethanol Production from Brewers’ Spent Grain

Ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomasses raises a global interest because it represents a good alternative to petroleum-derived energies and reduces the food versus fuel conflict generated by first generation ethanol. In this study, alkaline-acid pretreated brewers’ spent grain (BSG) was evaluated for ethanol production after enzymatic hydrolysis with commercial enzymes. The obtained h...

Isolation of Crystalline Phosphoglucose Isomerase from Brewers' Yeast.

In a program to elucidate the mechanism by which phosphoglucose isomerasel participates in the catalyzed isomerization between glucose 6-phosphate and fructose g-phosphate, isolation of the enzyme from several sources is pursued as the basis for quantitative studies of its protein nature. The comparative investigation of several heteroenzymes appears to be a valuable tool in identifying the str...
