13C NMR of the aromatic residues of Clostridium acidi-urici [Phe*]ferredoxin (a chemically modified ferredoxin in which a phenylalanyl residue replaces a tyrosyl residue) and Clostridium pasteurianum ferredoxin permits one to distinguish and probe each iron-sulfur (Fe&*) cluster neighboring the aromatic residues within each protein. This is because the ring carbon resonance shifts of the phenyl...

Enzymatic processes play a key role in the production of grain-containing food due to their effect on nutritional properties, rheological characteristics, and contribution improving functional antioxidant proprieties. Eight samples beverages based barley grain hemp seeds were produced (control fermented by bifidobacteria propionic acid bacteria). It was found that lactic accumulated during ferm...

Trehalose accumulation is a common cell defense strategy against a variety of stressful conditions. In particular, our team detected high levels of trehalose in Propionibacterium freudenreichii in response to acid stress, a result that led to the idea that endowing Lactococcus lactis with the capacity to synthesize trehalose could improve the acid tolerance of this organism. To this end, we too...
