Carbohydrate compounds are widely used as fillers and stabilisers in biological products. When present, these guarantee that the active pharmaceutical ingredient will remain stable during production, transportation, storage. At same time, pharmacopoeias standardise excipient content require excipients should be quantified for assessing quality of The aim study was to identify promising methods ...

Corynebacterium sp. (ATCC 21245) is reclassified here as Mycobacterium sp. MS1601 based on 16S rRNA gene and complete-genome sequence analysis. It is able to oxidize branched polyols to corresponding hydroxycarboxylic acids. The total size of the genome sequence was 6,829,132 bp, including one circular chromosome of 6,407,860 bp.

Several plant families generate polyols, the reduced form of monosaccharides, as one of their primary photosynthetic products. Together with sucrose (Suc) or raffinose, these polyols are used for long-distance allocation of photosynthetically fixed carbon in the phloem. Many species from these families accumulate these polyols under salt or drought stress, and the underlying regulation of polyo...

This work is concerned with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) saponification by different potassium compounds in various polyols as well biodiesel’s main by-product, crude glycerol. It was established that reaction conditions (initial PET/K+ molar ratio, time, etc.) could control the molecular weight of obtained oligomeric products. In ethylene glycol, depolymerization proceeds rapidly, and alre...

The production of renewable chemicals is gaining attention over the past few years. The natural resources from which they can be derived in a sustainable way are most abundant in sugars, cellulose and hemicellulose. These highly functionalized molecules need to be de-functionalized in order to be feedstocks for the chemical industry. A fundamentally different approach to chemistry thus becomes ...
