our previous experiments indicated that smooth muscle cells (SMC) in neointima of injured rabbit aorta (a) acquire the capacity to produce PGI2 and (b) have increased lysosomal CE hydrolytic (acid cholesteryl ester hydrolase [ACEH])activity. Using cultured SMC from rabbit thoracic aorta, we demonstrated that PGI2, 6-keto-PGF1,, and 6-keto-PGE, enhanced ACEH activity fourfold. No significant eff...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of scrophularia striata water extract on the quality and shelf life of the rainbow trout fillet during superchilled storage. fish samples were treated with 1% and 3% s. striata water extract and then stored at -2°c for 20 days. the samples were analyzed periodically for chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics. results indicated that ...

Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) are two main wastes from oil palm industries which contain rich lignocellulose. Degradation of EFB and POME by microorganisms will produce hydrolytic enzyme which will degrade cellulose and hemicellulose during composting process. However, normal composting takes about four to six months to reach maturity. Hence, application of fungi i...

Alkaline highly mineralized environments are a source of microorganisms that produce enzymeswhich in demand biotechnology, food industry, medicine, and agriculture. The extracellular hydrolytic enzymes these resistant to high pH mineralization. Within the framework two scientific projects, phylogenetic diversity bacterial community alkaline media anthropogenic origin, is, soda sludge Bereznikov...

Marine snow aggregates are heavily colonized by heterotrophic microorganisms that express high levels of hydrolytic activities, making aggregates hotspots for carbon remineralization in the ocean. To assess how aggregate formation influences the ability of seawater microbial communities to access organic carbon, we compared hydrolysis rates of six polysaccharides in coastal seawater after aggre...
