abstract. seeds or plant organs are usually used as the materials for the long-term cryopreservation. the aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of seed cryopreservation of lilium ledebourii (baker) boiss. as an endemic and endangered species because of genetic erosion. to evaluate seed potentials for the cryopreservation, four treatments including vitrification, 30% glycerol, desi...

In this work, cornstarch-based electrolytes are doped with ammonium bromide (NH4Br) and plasticized with glycerol. Starch-NH4Br complexation is evidenced from the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results. A room temperature conductivity of (5.57±1.88)×10 S cm obtained by 70wt% starch–30 wt% NH4Br electrolyte is enhanced to (1.80±0.26)×10 S cm with the addition of 30 wt% glycerol. ...

In this study, crude glycerol was used as a carbon source in the cultivation of wild yeasts, aiming for the production of microbial lipids and citric acid. Forty yeasts of different sources were tested concerning their growth in crude and commercial glycerol. Four yeasts (Lidnera saturnus UFLA CES-Y677, Yarrowia lipolytica UFLA CM-Y9.4, Rhodotorula glutinis NCYC 2439, and Cryptococcus curvatus ...

Glycerol, a non-biodegradable by-product during biodiesel production is a major concern to the emerging biodiesel industry. Many microbes in natural environments have the ability to utilize glycerol as a sole carbon and energy source. The focus of this study was to screen for microorganisms from soil, capable of glycerol utilization and its conversion to value added products such as ethanol and...

We reported previously that glycerol is a substrate for energy production in cardiomyocytes. Increasing glycerol availability results in increased glycerol uptake and its involvement in complex lipid biosynthesis and energy production. This study evaluated the relationship between glycerol supply, energy demand, and intermediary metabolism leading to energy production. The work was performed on...

The study was performed in a batch system in order to determine the effects of pH and temperature on growth and glycerol production kinetics of two indigenous wine yeast strains Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kalecik 1 and Narince 3. The highest values of dry mass and specific growth rate were obtained at pH 4.00 for both of the strains. Maximum specific glycerol production rates were obtained at pH ...

We previously suggested that insulin increases diacylglycerol (DAG) in BC3H-1 myocytes, both by increases in synthesis de novo of phosphatidic acid (PA) and by hydrolysis of non-inositol-containing phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). We have now evaluated these insulin effects more thoroughly, and several potential mechanisms for their induction. I...

The experiment was performed with a total of 180 day-old, ROSS 308 combination, meat-type hybrid chickens that were divided according to sex into the control group (C1 and C2 with 30 and 30 , respectively) and two experimental groups: GLY-P1 and P2 with pure glycerol (30 and 30 ), and GLY-R1 and R2 with raw glycerol (30 and 30 ). The chickens received three feeding mixtures during the experimen...

Edible film is a thin layer that used as substitute for synthetic plastic or primary packaging of food product. Corn starch suspended with chitosan and glycerol able to improve the quality edible film. The purpose this research determine physical characteristics from modified corn starch. concentrations were 15%, 20% 25%, 30% 40%. Physical observed thickness, absorption, solubility degradation....
