Fermentation an important activity formation flavour. This study aims to determine panellists’ acceptance produced various fermentation treatments sun-dried beans. materials used this were varieties Lindak. variation consi...

A Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus HP1 strain with high exopolysaccharide activity was selected from among 40 strains of lactic acid bacteria, isolated from kefir grains. By associating the Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus HP1 strain with Streptococcus thermophilus T15, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis C15, Lactobacillus helveticus MP12, and Sacharomyces cerevisiae A13, a ...

Concerns about first generation bioethanol's impact on the food chain and biodiversity have shifted research to second (2G) bioethanol technologies. The 2G-bioethanol is made from lignocellulosic biomass, which more sustainable does not harm security or environment. This production process uses non-food crops, crop residues, wood wastes, such as chips, skins, pulp fruit pressing. present study ...

The activities of the nuclear RNA polymerases I and II have been investigated in cells of Sacharomyces cerevisiae at G(1), S, early G(2), and late G(2) stages of the cell cycle. The results show that the ratio of the activities of the two enzymes is different at these four stages, indicating that the two RNA polymerases are regulated independently during the cell cycle. The specific activity of...

Motivation New long read sequencers promise to transform sequencing and genome assembly by producing reads tens of kilobases long. However, their high error rate significantly complicates assembly and requires expensive correction steps to layout the reads using standard assembly engines. Results We present an original and efficient spectral algorithm to layout the uncorrected nanopore reads,...

Phospholipases C are known to be important regulators of cellular processes but may also act as virulence factors of pathogenic microbes. At least three genes in the genome of the human-pathogenic fungus Candida albicans encode phospholipases with conserved phospholipase C (Plc) motifs. None of the deduced protein sequences contain N-terminal signal peptides, suggesting that these phospholipase...

As dietary supplementation with β-glucans can stimulate the innate immune response in the porcine gastrointestinal system (GIT), the aim of this study was to determine if the effects of β-glucan supplementation extend beyond the GIT to systemic levels. Hence, the effects of dietary supplementation of β-glucans derived from Laminara digitata, Laminara hyperborea, and Sacharomyces cerevisiae on c...

Acacia mellifera has been used widely in traditional African medicines against various diseases. Among the Kipsigis community of Kenya, water extracts from the plant is used for the treatment of skin diseases, coughs and gastrointestinal ailments. The aim of the study was to provide scientific rationale for the use of the plant in traditional medicine through bioassay-guided fractionation of A....
