Purpose: For growth of methylotrophic yeast, glycerol is usually used as a carbon source. Glucose is used in some cases, but not widely consumed due to strong repressive effect on AOX1 promoter. However, glucose is still considered as a carbon source of choice since it has low production cost and guarantees growth rate comparable to glycerol.

A method is suggested by which the wavevector star channels can be found using the image of the representation of the translational group. According to this method, the wavevector star channels are found for the 80 Lifschitz stars in the reciprocal lattice.

Reductive oxygen atom cleavage from peroxynitrite (ONOO) to form NO in aqueous solution by some AEOL compounds (AEOL-10113, AEOL-10150, AEOL-11114 and AEOL-11203) was studied by DFT/M06-2X computations with D3 dispersion correction and gCP (geometrical counterpoise correction) for basis set superposition error. DFT computation showed that AEOL-10150 can form the most stable association complex {MnPOONO} among four AEOL models.
