Effect of Fermentation Using A6 on the Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Precooked and Blended Flour.

The present study is aimed at producing and complementary instant flour. The precooked sorghum and Bambara groundnut flours were mixed at different proportions (0 : 100, 25 : 75, 50 : 50, 75 : 25, and 100 : 0), hydrated with sterile distilled water (1 : 3, w:v), and fermented for 72 h/37°C using A6 at 10 CFU/g. During the fermentation, samples were withdrawn for pH, titrable acidity, and microbial analyses.

Biodegradation of Ammonium Ions and Formate During Ammonium Formate Metabolism by in a Batch Reactor.

The use of microorganisms for the biodegradation of pollutants is increasingly being studied. But at high concentrations, these pollutants become rather inhibitors for the metabolism of microorganisms. In this study, the biodegradation of ammonium formate at various concentrations (1.

HRMAS NMR as a tool to study metabolic responses in heart clam Ruditapes decussatus exposed to Roundup®.

The essence of this study was to investigate the metabolic responses of heart tissues of carpet-shell clam Ruditapes decussatus after exposure to two doses (0.2 and 1 g/L) of Roundup(®) during 24 and 72 h. The main metabolic changes after Roundup(®) exposure were related to disturbance in energy metabolism and metabolic biomarkers such as alanine, succinate, acetate and propionate, suggesting the occcurence of anaerobiosis and the impairment of oxydative metabolism.
