The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ambient temperature and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) supplementation in diets for growing lambs on meat fatty acids composition. A slaughter study was carried out on 12 male Black Belly Barbados lambs randomly drawn from a prior growth trial (245 days). The lambs were divided into four equal groups and allotted in a 2×2 factorial design. ...

Escherichia coli C20, isolated from domestic chicken gut microbiota, demonstrated multidrug resistance to the tested antibiotics. Here, we present the draft genomic sequences of E. coli C20, along with that of its plasmid. The final assembly yielded a chromosome of 4,640,940 bp and plasmid of 277,380 bp, with average coverages of 146.95-fold and 35.63-fold, respectively.

To improve beef quality, a selection of specific breeds for crossbreeding, genotyping, and candidate genes in breeding animals can be some the solutions. The objective this study was to determine effects FASN, SCD, GH on carcass fatness fatty acid (FA) composition intramuscular lipids crossbred Holstein × (Simmental, Belgian Blue, Limousin, Piemontese). allelic genotypic distribution polymorphi...

The diether core membrane lipid sesterterpanyl-phytanyl-glycerol (so-called extended archaeol and often abbreviated C20-C25) is considered as a hallmark of Haloarchaea, clade archaea thriving under extreme high salinities. We here report about occurrence in different saline aquatic settings with salinity ranging from ca. 50 psu (5 % NaCl w/v) to saturation (ca. 350 psu). This demonstrates that ...

In this study, oil was extracted from the liver and visceral fat of Patin (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and refined. The yield of oil after refining was 49.98%. The major yield loss (34.20%) happened during the degumming procedure. Fatty acids found in the crude and refined oil were C12:0, C14:0, C14:1, C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C18:4, C20:0, C20:1, C20:4, C20:5, and C22:6. The ...

Methylarachidonylfluorophosphonate (MAFP) and related analogs have been shown to inhibit fatty acid amidohydrolase activity (FAAH), the enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of the endogenous cannabinoid ligand anandamide. To fully characterize this class of compounds, methylfluorophosphonate compounds with saturated alkyl chains ranging from C8 to C20 along with C20 unsaturated derivatives were sy...
