The beta-glucosidase BglC fulfills multiple functions in both primary metabolism and induction of pathogenicity Streptomyces scabiei, the causative agent common scab root tuber crops. Indeed, this enzyme hydrolyzes cellobiose cellotriose to feed glycolysis with glucose directly modifies intracellular concentration these cello-oligosaccharides, which are virulence elicitors. inactivation bglC le...

Melanocytes are an important component of skin pigmentation through their ability to produce melanin assisted by the enzyme tyrosinase which is a core in melanogenesis. The high phenolic and flavonoid compounds leaves, seeds avocados have potential as ligands (inhibitors) related protein-1. This study aims determine active from seeds, that play role inhibiting activity humans so it can inhibit ...

Fermentation is a technology that enhances biologically active ingredients, improves the absorption rate and induces generation of new functional ingredients by catalytic action enzyme systems possessed microorganisms. In this study, changes in content five kinds bioactive compounds (deacetylasperulosidic acid, asperulosidic scopolin, asperuloside scopoletin) Morinda citrifolia L. were confirme...
