Background: Cyanobacteria have long been suggested as an industrial chassis for the conversion of carbon dioxide to products as part of a circular bioeconomy. The slow growth, carbon fixation rates, and limits of carbon partitioning between biomass and product in cyanobacteria must be overcome to fully realise this industrial potential. Typically, flux towards heterologous pathways is limited by the availability of core metabolites.

Efforts to date have also rarely engaged Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in co-designing solutions. The Roadmap Project aims to work in partnership with young people to define priority areas of health and well-being need and establish the corresponding developmentally appropriate, evidence-based actions.

To remove false changes that arise during LC-MS/MS data acquisition, we evaluated the contributions of peptide abundance and number of unique peptides on reproducibility. Lower abundance and only one unique peptide have a higher risk of generating a higher coefficient of variation (CV), resulting in less accurate quantification.

The pathophysiology of this EGGD remains poorly understood. Previous studies using controlled populations of horses identified differences in the gastric glandular mucosal microbiome associated with disease.

Animals: 36 horses.
Methods: Horses underwent endoscopy and were scored for EGGD.
