Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals the Islands of Novel Polymorphisms in Two Native Aromatic Japonica Rice Landraces from Vietnam.

Elucidation of the rice genome will not only broaden our understanding of genetic characterization of the agronomic characteristics but also facilitate the rice genetic improvement through marker assisted breeding. However, the genome resources of aromatic rice varieties are largely unexploited. Therefore, the whole genome of two elite aromatic traditional japonica rice landraces in North Vietnam, Tam Xoan Bac Ninh (TXBN), and Tam Xoan Hai Hau (TXHH), was sequenced to identify their genome-wide polymorphisms.

Lactate production as representative of the fermentation potential of Corynebacterium glutamicum 2262 in a one-step process.

The fermentative properties of thermo-sensitive strain Corynebacterium glutamicum 2262 were investigated in processes coupling aerobic cell growth and the anaerobic fermentation phase. In particular, the influence of two modes of fermentation on the production of lactate, the fermentation product model, was studied. In both processes, lactate was produced in significant amount, 27 g/L in batch culture, and up to 55.
