Exploring the Potential of for Sustainable Mycoprotein Production Using Okara and Soy Whey as Cost-Effective Substrates.

Mycoprotein is an alternative protein produced through fungal fermentation. However, it typically relies on refined glucose syrup derived from starch, which can be costly and unsustainable. This study investigates the potential of soybean processing by-products (okara and soy whey) as alternative substrates for producing mycoprotein using .

Implantable trilayer microneedle transdermal delivery system to enhance bioavailability and brain delivery of rivastigmine for Alzheimer treatment: A proof-of-concept study.

Alzheimer's disease (ALZ) is a neurological disorder characterized by cognitive decline. Rivastigmine (RV), an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, is commonly used to treat ALZ. Unfortunately, RV is availablein capsule form, which is associated with low drug bioavailability, and in patch form, which can lead to skin irritation upon repeated use.

The Potential of Cell-Free Supernatant as a Preservative in Food Packaging Materials.

This study delves into the production and antimicrobial characteristics of cell-free supernatants from (CFSs-Pa). Antimicrobial activity was initially observed in CFS-Pa harvested after 12 h of incubation and increased up to the late stationary phase at 48 h. The increase in antimicrobial activity did not align with total protein content, pointing to other factors linked to the accumulation of organic acids, particularly lactic acid.

Sequential Esterification-Diels-Alder Reactions for Improving Pine Rosin Durability within Road Marking Paint.

Pine rosin, which is derived from resin, a natural product, has demonstrated potential as a road marking binder. Although pine rosin has an excellent shinning property, it has some limitations, such as instability and color change. To tackle these issues, modified rosin has been developed through sequential esterification and Diels-Alder reactions, and it has shown better properties than untreated rosin.

antisense RNA regulates MscL excretory activity.

Excretion of cytoplasmic protein (ECP) is a commonly observed phenomenon in bacteria, and this partial extracellular localisation of the intracellular proteome has been implicated in a variety of stress response mechanisms. In response to hypoosmotic shock and ribosome stalling in , ECP is dependent upon the presence of the large-conductance mechanosensitive channel and the alternative ribosome-rescue factor A gene products. However, it is not known if a mechanistic link exists between the corresponding genes and the respective stress response pathways.

The Effect of Concentration and Inoculation Time on Biochemical Changes and Cellulose Biosynthesis by .

Bacterial Cellulose (BC) is a biopolymer with numerous applications. The growth of BC-producing bacteria, , could be stimulated by , however, the effect on BC yield needs further investigation. This study investigates BC production and biochemical changes in the co-culture system.

Genetic and process engineering strategies for enhanced recombinant N-glycoprotein production in bacteria.

Background: The production of N-linked glycoproteins in genetically amenable bacterial hosts offers great potential for reduced cost, faster/simpler bioprocesses, greater customisation, and utility for distributed manufacturing of glycoconjugate vaccines and glycoprotein therapeutics. Efforts to optimize production hosts have included heterologous expression of glycosylation enzymes, metabolic engineering, use of alternative secretion pathways, and attenuation of gene expression. However, a major bottleneck to enhance glycosylation efficiency, which limits the utility of the other improvements, is the impact of target protein sequon accessibility during glycosylation.

Prevalence, intensity and histopathology of Zeylanicobdella arugamensis infestation on groupers reared on different aquaculture systems.

The marine leech, Zeylanicobdella arugamensis, is a major threat to aquaculture in grouper-producing countries including Indonesia. This study aimed at investigating prevalence, intensity and histopathology of the ectoparasite in humpback and hybrid groupers cultured in different rearing systems. A total of 260 groupers (60 humpback groupers and 200 hybrid groupers) were used for samples.

Non-vertical optical transition in near-field enhanced spectroscopy of graphene.

We theoretically investigate the optical transition of an electron in graphene that is excited by near-field around a conical Au tip. The interaction between the near-field and the electron is calculated by tight-binding method. In the case of near-field, the wavevector of the electron changes by the optical absorption from the valence band to the conduction band.

Viability of Molds and Bacteria in Tempeh Processed with Supercritical Carbon Dioxides during Storage.

Application of supercritical carbon dioxide for processing of food products has an impact on microbial inactivation and food quality. This technique is used to preserve tempeh due to no heat involved. The quality of tempeh is highly influenced by mold growth because of its role in forming a compact texture, white color, and functional properties as well as consumer acceptance.

A comparison of energy flow in micelle and vesicle structures.

We have investigated the vibrational population relaxation dynamics and state-dependent orientational relaxation behavior of perylene in micelles and vesicles formed using the same amphiphile(s). Decanoic acid and its conjugate base sodium decanoate can form either micelle or vesicle structures in aqueous solution depending on amphiphile concentration and solution pH. The issue of interest in this work is whether or not different assemblies of a given amphiphile manifest different efficiencies with the dissipation of energy.

Emulsions of crude glycerin from biodiesel processing with fuel oil for industrial heating.

There is considerable interest in using crude glycerin from biodiesel production as a heating fuel. In this work crude glycerin was emulsified into fuel oil to address difficulties with ignition and sustained combustion. Emulsions were prepared with several grades of glycerin and two grades of fuel oil using direct and phase inversion emulsification.
