Cells of Zygosaccharomyces bailii ISA 1307 grown in a medium with acetic acid, ethanol, or glycerol as the sole carbon and energy source transported acetic acid by a saturable transport system. This system accepted propionic and formic acids but not lactic, sorbic, and benzoic acids. When the carbon source was glucose or fructose, the cells displayed activity of a mediated transport system spec...

The rumen fermentation rates in individual lactating cows were measured in four different experiments. The results disclosed that the amounts and proportions of volatile acids formed could vary widely. In one case, a marked difference in the proportions of the acids produced arose within the experiment and correlated with a difference in the proportion of methane formed. The average rate of pro...

Kellner (1920)) in his calorimetric studies with cattle, showed that, as the fibre content of the ration increased, the net availability of its metabolizable energy fell. He attributed this fall to the additional physical work with consequent loss of heat in comminuting and digesting the more fibrous food. This cause may not be the sole contributor. Data in the literature, as summarized in Tabl...

Bio-based production of materials from waste streams is a pivotal aspect in circular economy. This study aimed to investigate the influence inoculum (three different sludge taken anaerobic digestors), pH (5 & 10) and retention time on total volatile fatty acids (VFAs), VFA composition as well microbial community during digestion food waste. The highest was ?22000 ± 1036 mg COD/L 12927 1029 day ...

The present study aims to describe an innovative approach that enables the system achieve high yielding for biohydrogen (bio-H2) production using xylose as a by-product of lignocellulosic biomass processing. A hybrid optimization technique, structural modelling, desirability analysis, and genetic algorithm could determine optimum input factors maximize useful biogas parameters, especially bio-H...

7. Comparison of specific radioactivities of blood lactate and plasma glucose during the infusion of [14C]glucose or [14C]lactate indicated that about 6% of glucose was recycled through the glucose-lactate interconversion. Evidence from the relocation of 14C in glucose during the infusion of [6-_4C]glucose indicated about 10% of recycling. 8. Negligible incorporation of glucose or lactate into ...

The gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles was monitored with a lightscattering technique in the presence and absence of herbicides. The phase transition temperature for pure DPPC was determined as 41.6°C. 2-Methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (dicamba), 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorophenylacetic acid (methoxy fenac), 2,4,5-T, (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)...

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play an important role in the maintenance of colonic homeostasis, and their depletion has been reported in various gastrointestinal disorders. Inflammatory colorectal polyps (ICRPs) are a recently recognized disease specific to miniature dachshunds (MDs), and fecal dysbiosis with a reduction of SCFA-producing bacteria has been reported with this disease. Therefor...

Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii can ferment glucose and glycerol to propionic acid with acetic and succinic acids as two by-products. Propionic acid production from glucose was relatively fast (0.19 g/Lh) but gave low product yield (~0.39 g/g) and selectivity (P/A: ~2.6; P/S: ~4.8). In contrast, glycerol with a more reduced state gave a high propionic acid yield (~0.65 g/g) an...

Fermentation strategies for production of high concentrations of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [P(3HB-co-3HV)] with different 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) fractions by recombinant Escherichia coli harboring the Alcaligenes latus polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis genes were developed. Fed-batch cultures of recombinant E. coli with the pH-stat feeding strategy facilitated production of ...
