Methyloligella halotolerans С2T is a moderate halophilic obligate methylotroph, accumulating ultra-high-molecular-weight poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (up to 8 to 10 MDa) from methanol. Here we report a draft genome and annotation of Methyloligella halotolerans C2T (VKM B-2706T = CCUG 61687T = DSM 25045T).

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is a process of additive manufacturing allowing creating highly precise complex three-dimensional objects for large range applications. The principle FDM an extrusion the molten filament and gradual layers their solidification. Potential applications in pharmaceutical medical fields require development biodegradable biocompatible thermoplastics processing filame...

Abstract Background and Aims A dysregulated energy metabolism is a key feature of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), characterized by cystic cells being dependent on glucose poorly able to use other sources such as ketone bodies. Besides providing energy, bodies, especially beta-hydroxybutyrate, can act signaling metabolites reduce inflammation oxidative stress. In experiment...

We investigate the effect of interfacial buffer layers—vanadium oxide V2O5 and cesium carbonate Cs2CO3 —on the performance of polymer solar cells based on regioregular poly3-hexylthiophene and 6,6 -phenyl C60 butyric acid methyl ester blend. The polarity of solar cells can be controlled by the relative positions of these two interfacial layers. Efficient inverted polymer solar cells were fabric...

1. Rat tissue homogenates convert dl-1-aminopropan-2-ol into aminoacetone. Liver homogenates have relatively high aminopropanol-dehydrogenase activity compared with kidney, heart, spleen and muscle preparations. 2. Maximum activity of liver homogenates is exhibited at pH9.8. The K(m) for aminopropanol is approx. 15mm, calculated for a single enantiomorph, and the maximum activity is approx. 9mm...

BACKGROUND Biodegradable polyesters are candidates for the development of environmental friendly plastics. Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a type of polyester from the hydroxyalkanoates family, synthesized by bacteria as an intracellular material and accumulated as granules in the cytoplasm. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to isolate Poly β-hydroxybutyrate over producing bacteria and opt...
