An in vitro experiment was conducted to determine the effect of supplemental non-fiber carbohydrate(NFC) on the disappearance kinetics of cellulose (Ce) by mixed ruminal microorganisms. Non-supplementedor NFC supplemented cellulose (467 mg NFC/g cellulose as sucrose (CeSu) or starch (CeSt) or a 1:1 mixtureof sucrose + starch (CeSuSt)) were incubated for 24, 48, and 96 h at 39°C. After each incu...

BACKGROUND: A temperature limited fed-batch (TLFB) technique is described and used for Pichia pastoris Mut+ strain cultures and compared with the traditional methanol limited fed-batch (MLFB) technique. A recombinant fusion protein composed of a cellulose-binding module (CBM) from Neocallimastix patriciarum cellulase 6A and lipase B from Candida antarctica (CALB), was produced and secreted by t...

During fertilization in the biflagellated alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, gametes of opposite mating types adhere to each other via agglutinin molecules located on their flagellar surfaces, generating a sexual signal that induces several cellular responses including cell wall release. This cell contact-generated signal is mediated by cAMP and release of the wall, which is devoid of cellulose a...

Nano-cellulose with high amount of free OH groups could be used as supporting agents for boron trifluoride (BF3). Nano-BF3/cellulose is a solid acid and a biodegradable catalyst which was prepared via reaction of nano-cellulose and BF3. The structure of this catalyst was studied by FT-IR, FESEM, TEM, XRD, EDS, TGA, XRF and BET. In this research, the synthesis of...

The production of protease by Bacillus licheniformis BBRC 100053 was studied. The most appropriate medium for the growth and protease production is composed of: lactose 1%, yeast extract 0.5%, peptone 0.5%, KH2PO4 0.1%, MgSO4.7H2O 0.02%. Enzyme production corresponded with growth and reached a maximums level (589 U/ml) during the stationary phase at 35°C, pH equivalent to 10 and with 150 rpm af...

Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments.  Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

in this study, the effect of accelerated ripening with encapsulated protease and lipase on physiochemical properties such as fat and moisture, texture and microstructure of brined cheese was investigated. addition of lipase increases hardness by reducing fat globules diameter and increasing casein matrix junction. it also decreases brittleness by fat degradation which is responsible for plastic...
