A polycyclic terpenoid that alleviates oxidative stress.
Polycyclic terpenoid lipids such as hopanes and steranes have been widely used to understand ancient biology, Earth history, and the oxygenation of the ocean-atmosphere system. Some of these lipids are believed to be produced only by aerobic organisms, whereas others actually require molecular oxygen for their biosynthesis. A persistent question remains: Did some polycyclic lipids initially evo...
متن کاملLevels of L-malate and other low molecular weight metabolites in spores of Bacillus species and Clostridium difficile
Dormant spores of Bacillus species lack ATP and NADH and contain notable levels of only a few other common low mol wt energy reserves, including 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3PGA), and glutamic acid. Recently, Bacillus subtilis spores were reported to contain ~ 30 μmol of L-malate/g dry wt, which also could serve as an energy reserve. In present work, L-malate levels were determined in the core of d...
متن کاملHeptaprenylpyrophosphate synthetase from Bacillus subtilis.
Heptaprenyl pyrophosphate synthetase was detected in partially purified extracts of Bacillus subtilis. The enzyme catalyzed the synthesis of all-trans C35 prenyl pyrophosphate from isopentenyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl or geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, but it did not catalyze a reaction between isopentenyl pyrophosphate and either dimethylallyl or geranyl pyrophosphate. The enzyme reaction proc...
متن کاملMode of Action of Bacillus subtilis for Control of Avocado Post- harvest Pathogens
Bacillus subtilis (isolate B246), Bacillus cereus (isolate B247 and B249) and Bacillus licheniformis (isolate B248) were inhibitory to avocado post-harvest pathogens Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Phomopsis perseae, Drechslera setariae, Pestalotiopsis versicolor and Fusarium solani; when tested with the dual culture technique. In vitro growth of Thyronectria pseudotrichia was not suppressed by...
متن کاملAlgal Crude Fucoidan Alone or with Bacillus subtilis DSM 17299 in Broiler Chickens Diet: Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Blood Metabolites, and Morphology of Intestine
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of algal fucoidan and probiotic Bacillus subtilison growth performance, blood metabolites and intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. A total of 250 one-day-old Ross 360 male broiler chickens were randomly distributed into 5 treatments (6 replication pens/treatment) and reared for 42 d. The 5 dietary treatments were as follow: 1) a corn-soybea...
