BACKGROUND Acetic acid is a predominant by-product of lignocellulosic biofuel process, which inhibits microbial biocatalysts. Development of bacterial strains that are tolerant to acetic acid is challenging due to poor understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. RESULTS In this study, we generated and characterized two acetic acid-tolerant strains of Zymomonas mobilis using N-methyl...

Bacillus cereus UW85 produces the linear aminopolyol antibiotic zwittermicin A (ZmA). This antibiotic has diverse biological activities, such as suppression of disease in plants caused by protists, inhibition of fungal and bacterial growth, and amplification of the insecticidal activity of the toxin protein from Bacillus thuringiensis. ZmA has an unusual chemical structure that includes a d ami...

L.R. BRILLA AND VICTOR CONTE. Effects of a Novel Zinc-Magnesium Formulation on Hormones and Strength. JEPonline, 3(4): 26-36, 2000. Muscle attributes and selected blood hormones of football players were assessed in response to a nightly supplementation regimen during spring football, over an 8-week period, with pre-post measures. A double-blind randomized study was conducted with ZMA (30 mg zin...

MicroRNA-mediated gene regulation plays a crucial role in controlling drought tolerance. In the present investigation, 13 drought-associated miRNA families consisting of 65 members and regulating 42 unique target mRNAs were identified from drought-associated microarray expression data in maize and were subjected to structural and functional characterization. The largest number of members (14) w...

Previous studies have identified miR169/NF-YA modules are important regulators of plant development and stress responses. Currently, reported genome sequence data offers an opportunity for global characterization of miR169 and NF-YA genes, which may provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of the miR169/NF-YA modules in maize. In our study, fourteen NF-YA transcription factors with conser...

Temperature scanning stress relaxation (TSSR) measurement of peroxide vulcanized polymer blends polypropylene (PP) and ultrahigh molecular-EPDM (UHM-EPDM) rubber has been performed to study the thermomechanical behavior thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs). Co-agents play crucial roles in enhancement properties TPVs. Different types co-agents (Triallyl cyanurate-TAC; N, N-m-phenylene-dimaleimide-H...

Die zweite Jahreshälfte begann leidermit einer schlechten Nachricht für die ZMA. Thomson Reuters, derMedienkonzern, der den Journal Citation Report (JCR) herausgibt und daraus den Impact Factor (IF) als bekanntesten bibliometrischen Indikator errechnet, hat es leider abgelehnt, die ZMA in den JCR aufzunehmen. Das ist für alle Beteiligten zunächst einmal sehr enttäuschend, denn wir hätten der po...

This study examined whether supplementing the diet with a commercial supplement containing zinc magnesium aspartate (ZMA) during training affects zinc and magnesium status, anabolic and catabolic hormone profiles, and/or training adaptations. Forty-two resistance trained males (27 +/- 9 yrs; 178 +/- 8 cm, 85 +/- 15 kg, 18.6 +/- 6% body fat) were matched according to fat free mass and randomly a...

Front cover image: Despite the remarkable progress made on high-performing cathode materials, showstoppers of aqueous Zn-metal batteries are dendrite problem and poor reversibility zinc-metal anode (ZMA). In article number 10.1002/cey2.70, research teams by Xiulei Ji, Jia-Xing Jiang, Chong Fang P. Alex Greaney collaborated to develop a ZnCl2/LiCl mixture water-in-salt electrolyte, in which high...
