This data article includes size exclusion chromatography data of soluble eADF4(C16), an engineered spider silk variant based on the core domain sequence of the natural dragline silk protein ADF4 of Araneus diadematus, in combination with light scattering; the protein is monomeric before assembly. The assembled mature fibrils were visualized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic f...

A novel Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, aerobic, motile by gliding, rod-shaped marine bacterium (JLT2011(T)) was isolated from surface seawater. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain JLT2011(T) could be assigned to the genus Gramella and was most closely related to Gramella gaetbulicola, with 96.2 % similarity. The genomic DNA G+C content was 42.1 %. The pre...

In the study, a dual-chamber photo MFC was constructed with photosynthetic bacteria consortium PB-Z and heterotrophic nitrifier C16 as anode cathode inoculant, respectively. The electron released from starch degradation in by transferred to cathode, which utilized nitrifying realize autotrophic denitrification. Lower resistance more conducive transfer pollutants removal. Comparing natural light...

The organoclay/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ photopolymerization method using two solvents, ethanol and acetonitrile. The influences of organoclay loading, solvent nature and length of attached surfactant (C8 or C16) on thermal and mechanical properties were studied by thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis. Alkylammonium surfactant...

BACKGROUND Serum free fatty acids (FFAs) are correlated with pathological status, and change in serum FFA levels may be associated with thyroid diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 664 serum samples from 322 healthy controls, 129 patients with benign thyroid disease (BTD), and 213 patients with thyroid cancer (TC) were collected. Chip-based direct-infusion nanoelectrospray-mass spec...

Our bodies are protected against a variety of external factors such as transient pathogens and can preserve homeostasis. This defense mechanism consists of many components, including antimicrobial lipids such as cis-6-hexadecenoic acid (C16:1Δ6) (Wille & Kydonieus, 2003) and sphingosine (Arikawa et al., 2002), as well as antimicrobial peptides such as ┚-defensins and cathelicidin (Harder et al....

A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped bacterium, designated CBA3202(T), was isolated from seashore sand on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain CBA3202(T) was allocated to the genus Gillisia (family Flavobacteriaceae) and was most closely related to the type strain of Gillisia mitskevichiae (99.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarit...

The occurrence and abundance of microbial fatty acids have been used for the identification of microorganisms in microbial communities. However, these fatty acids can also be used as indicators of substrate usage. For this, a systematic investigation of the discrimination of the stable carbon isotopes by different microorganisms is necessary. We grew 11 strains representing major bacterial and ...

Ceramide is a common precursor of sphingomyelin (SM) and glycosphingolipids (GSLs) in mammalian cells. Ceramide synthase 2 (CERS2), one of the six ceramide synthase isoforms, is responsible for the synthesis of very long chain fatty acid (C20-26 fatty acids) (VLC)-containing ceramides (VLC-Cer). It is known that the proportion of VLC species in GSLs is higher than that in SM. To address the mec...
