Regulatory Role of Vacuolar Calcium Transport Proteins in Growth, Calcium Signaling, and Cellulase Production in .

Recent research has revealed the calcium signaling significance in the production of cellulases in . While vacuoles serve as the primary calcium storage within cells, the function of vacuolar calcium transporter proteins in this process remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a functional characterization of four vacuolar calcium transport proteins in .

Synthesis and characterization of new quaternized galactomannan derivatives with antibacterial activity.

The continuous increase in bacterial resistance requires the study and development of new biocompatible antibacterial materials. Galactomannan gum was extracted from endosperms of Dimorphandra gardneriana seeds, modified through quaternization reactions (with NaOH/CHPTAC), and evaluated for antimicrobial activity. Four quaternized derivatives were obtained (QG1-QG4).

Pilot scale production of high-content mycoprotein using Rhizopus microsporus var. oligosporus by submerged fermentation and agro-industrial by-products.

While mycoprotein has gained traction as a human food source, its potential as a nutrient for animals remains largely unexplored. The mycoprotein-producing Rhizopus microsporus var. oligosporus, a fungus traditionally used for human food in Indonesia, is promising.

Enriched G4 forming repeats in the human genome are associated with robust well-coordinated transcription and reduced cancer transcriptome variation.

Non-B DNA G-quadruplex (G4) structures with guanine (G) runs of 2 to 4 repeats can trigger opposing experimental transcriptional impacts. Here, we used bioinformatic algorithms to comprehensively assess correlations of steady-state RNA transcript levels with all putative G4 sequence (pG4) locations genome-wide in three mammalian genomes and in normal and tumor human tissues. The human pG4-containing gene set displays higher expression levels than the set without pG4, supporting and extending some prior observations.
