Luminescence nanothermometry using a trivalent lanthanide co-doped perovskite.

This study investigates in detail the laser-mediated upconversion emission and temperature-sensing capability of (Ca YbEr )TiO. Samples were prepared at different concentrations to observe the effect of erbium on upconversion while increasing its concentration and keeping all the other parameters constant. Doping is a widespread technological process which involves incorporating an element called a dopant in a lower ratio to the host lattice to derive hybrid materials with desired properties.

Synthesis, spectroscopic investigation, molecular docking and DFT studies of novel (2Z,4Z)-2,4-bis(4-chlorobenzylidene)-5-oxo-1-phenylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid (BCOPCA).

The synthesized compound was characterised by Ultraviolet, FT-Infra Red, H, C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and mass spectroscopy. The compound was further subjected to quantum chemical calculations at the level of density functional theory (DFT) using 6-31G (d,p) basis sets method with B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP hybrid functionals. The intramolecular interactions, polarizability, hyperpolarizability and nonlinear optical properties of the title compound were also incorporated in the study.

CoQ10 a super-vitamin: review on application and biosynthesis.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) or ubiquinone is found in the biological system which is synthesized by the conjugation of benzoquinone ring with isoprenoid chain of variable length. Coenzyme Q10 supplementation energizes the body and increases body energy production in the form of ATP and helps to treat various human diseases such as cardiomyopathy, muscular dystrophy, periodontal disease, etc. Reports of these potential therapeutic advantages of CoQ10 have resulted in its high market demand, which focus the researchers to work on this molecule and develop better bioprocess methods for commercial level production.

Optimization of Isomaltooligosaccharide Size Distribution by Acceptor Reaction of Weissella confusa Dextransucrase and Characterization of Novel α-(1→2)-Branched Isomaltooligosaccharides.

Long-chain isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) are promising prebiotics. IMOs were produced by a Weissella confusa dextransucrase via maltose acceptor reaction. The inputs of substrates (i.

Structure modeling and functional analysis of recombinant dextransucrase from Weissella confusa Cab3 expressed in Lactococcus lactis.

The dextransucrase gene from Weissella confusa Cab3, having an open reading frame of 4.2 kb coding for 1,402 amino acids, was amplified, cloned, and expressed in Lactococcus lactis. The recombinant dextransucrase, WcCab3-rDSR was expressed as extracellular enzyme in M17 medium with a specific activity of 1.

Rye bran as fermentation matrix boosts in situ dextran production by Weissella confusa compared to wheat bran.

The consumption of fiber-rich foods such as cereal bran is highly recommended due to its beneficial health effects. Pre-fermentation of bran with lactic acid bacteria can be used to improve the otherwise impaired flavor and textural qualities of bran-rich products. These positive effects are attributed to enzymatic modification of bran components and the production of functional metabolites like organic acids and exopolysaccharides such as dextrans.

Weissella confusa Cab3 dextransucrase: properties and in vitro synthesis of dextran and glucooligosaccharides.

Food-derived Weissella spp. have gained attention during recent years as efficient dextran producers. Weissella confusa Cab3 dextransucrase (WcCab3-DSR) was isolated applying PEG fractionation and used for in vitro synthesis of dextran and glucooligosaccharides.

16S rRNA-Based Identification of a Glucan-Hyperproducing Weissella confusa.

A gram-positive, nonmotile, irregular, short, rod-shaped new strain of Weissella confusa bacterium was isolated from fermented cabbage. The isolate was physiologically and biochemically characterised. The 16S rDNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
