Biomass derived fuels are preferred as alternative Fuels for IC engine due to its abundant availability and renewable nature. In the present work, the performance and emissions of diesel and diesel additive blended with palm kernel oil is studied, where the fuel, namely, methyl ester of palm kernel oil and diesel with additive were chosen and used as fuel in the form of blends. Various proporti...

Lysobacter enzymogenes strain B25, an isolate from an agricultural field, acts as a biological control agent against root knot nematodes in tomato plants. B25 also controls several fungal diseases and promotes plant growth under abiotic stress. We hereby report on the draft genome sequence and assembly of B25.

ion, this displacement is accomodated in the DPI molecule by a corresponding movement of the imidazole ring. As mentioned above, the two phenylalanine residues B24 and B25 are important for the biological activity of insulin. Fig. 9 shows the change in conformation of these two residues in DPI compared with insulin (molecule I). We can see that a large change in conformation occurs at B25, whil...

B24 and B25 phenylalanines (Phe) play important roles in insulin structure and function. Insulin analogs with B24 Phe or B25 Phe replaced by biphenylalanine (Bip) were prepared by enzymatic semisynthesis. The biological activities were determined by receptor binding assay and in vivo mouse convulsion assay. The results showed that B25 Bip insulin has 139% receptor binding activity and 50% in vi...

The peptide group between residues B24 and B25 of insulin was replaced by an ester bond. This modification only in the backbone was meant to eliminate a structurally important H-bond between the amide proton of B25 and the carbonyl oxygen of A19, and consequently to enhance detachment of the C-terminal B-chain from the body of the molecule, exposing the underlying A-chain. According to a model ...

During muscle differentiation, mitochondria undergo dramatic changes in their morphology and distribution to prepare for the higher rate of energy consumption. By applying a mitochondria-targeted rosamine library in C2C12 myogenesis, we discovered one compound that controls muscle differentiation. When treated to undifferentiated myoblasts, our selected compound, B25, inhibited myotube formatio...

Bacillus subtilis B25 was isolated from banana rhizosphere soil. It has been confirmed for B25 to have stronger antagonism against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense, Additionally B25 has good inhibitory to plant pathogens, including Corynespora cassiicola, Alternaria solani, Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates. The antagonistic substance can be...

We describe the isolation by reversed-phase h.p.l.c. of a number of products of the degradation of insulin by insulin proteinase and their direct analysis by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (f.a.b.-m.s.). Various semisynthetically labelled insulins were used, including [[2H2]GlyA1]insulin and [18O]LysB29]insulin. The results obtained confirm and extend the results obtained by non-mass-s...

The complete genome of Bacillus methylotrophicus strain B25, isolated in Switzerland, was sequenced. Its size is 3.85 Mb, and several genes that may contribute to plant growth-promoting activities were identified in silico.
