Construction of a Recombinant Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJNU 0147 Producing 1,4-Dihydroxy-2-Naphthoic Acid, a Bifidogenic Growth Factor

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), a precursor of menaquinone (vitamin K2), has an effect on growth stimulation of bifidobacteria and prevention of osteoporosis, making it a promising functional food material. Therefore, we tried to clone the menB gene encoding DHNA synthase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJNU 0147. Based on the genome sequence of Leu. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 (GenBank acces...

Bisimulation and simulation algorithms on probabilistic transition systems by abstract interpretation

We show how bisimulation equivalence and simulation preorder on probabilistic LTSs (PLTSs), namely the main behavioural relations on probabilistic nondeterministic processes, can be characterized by abstract interpretation. Both bisimulation and simulation can be obtained as completions of partitions and preorders, viewed as abstract domains, w.r.t. a pair of concrete functions that encode a PL...

Symplectic fillability of toric contact manifolds

According to Lerman, compact connected toric contact 3-manifolds with a non-free toric action whose moment cone spans an angle greater than π are overtwisted, thus non-fillable. In contrast, we show that all compact connected toric contact manifolds in dimension greater than three are weakly symplectically fillable and most of them are strongly symplectically fillable. The proof is based on the...
