Biodesulfurization of organosulfur compounds by a trehalose biosurfactant producing Gordonia sp. isolated from crude oil contaminated soil.

Certain factors hinder the commercialization of biodesulfurization process, including low substrate-specificity of the currently reported desulfurizing bacteria and restricted mass transfer of organic-sulfur compounds in biphasic systems. These obstacles must be addressed to clean organic-sulfur rich petro-fuels that pose serious environmental and health challenges. In current study, a dibenzothiophene desulfurizing strain, Gordonia rubripertincta W3S5 (source: oil contaminated soil) was systematically evaluated for its potential to remove sulfur from individual compounds and mixture of organic-sulfur compounds.

Effect of the oil from the fatty tissues of Crocodylus siamensis on gut microbiome diversity and metabolism in mice.

Dietary fat can alter host metabolism and gut microbial composition. Crocodile oil (CO) was extracted from the fatty tissues of Crocodylus siamensis. CO, rich in monounsaturated- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, has been reported to reduce inflammation, counter toxification, and improve energy metabolism.

Understanding Snail Mucus Biosynthesis and Shell Biomineralisation through Genomic Data Mining of the Reconstructed Carbohydrate and Glycan Metabolic Pathways of the Giant African Snail ().

The giant African snail (Order Stylommatophora: Family Achatinidae), (Bowdich, 1822), is the most significant and invasive land snail pest. The ecological adaptability of this snail involves high growth rate, reproductive capacity, and shell and mucus production, driven by several biochemical processes and metabolism. The available genomic information for provides excellent opportunities to hinder the underlying processes of adaptation, mainly carbohydrate and glycan metabolic pathways toward the shell and mucus formation.

Computer-Aided Virtual Screening and In Vitro Validation of Biomimetic Tyrosinase Inhibitory Peptides from Abalone Peptidome.

Hyperpigmentation is a medical and cosmetic problem caused by an excess accumulation of melanin or the overexpression of the enzyme tyrosinase, leading to several skin disorders, i.e., freckles, melasma, and skin cancer.

Effect of conditioned media from Aeromonas caviae on the transcriptomic changes of the porcine isolates of Pasteurella multocida.

Background: Pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic pathogen causing porcine respiratory diseases by co-infections with other bacterial and viral pathogens. Various bacterial genera isolated from porcine respiratory tracts were shown to inhibit the growth of the porcine isolates of P. multocida.

Design of a Chimeric Multi-Epitope Vaccine (CMEV) against Both and Parasites Using Immunoinformatic Approaches.

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by protozoan flagellates of the genus . Recently, and , emerging species of , were isolated from patients in Thailand. Development of the vaccine is demanded; however, genetic differences between the two species make it difficult to design a vaccine that is effective for both species.

Prediction of Antibacterial Peptides against from the Peptidomes of Mucus Fractions.

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease mainly caused by the Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium, . This bacterium stimulates the inflammation process in human sebaceous glands. The giant African snail () is an alien species that rapidly reproduces and seriously damages agricultural products in Thailand.

Molecular Characterization and Cross-Allergenicity of Tropomyosin from Freshwater Crustaceans.

Tropomyosin is a major allergen responsible for cross-allergenicity in a number of shellfish species. Although extensively characterized in marine crustaceans, the information of tropomyosin is limited to a few freshwater crustacean species. As a result, more cross-reactivity evidence and information of tropomyosin at the molecular level are required for the detection of freshwater crustaceans in the food industry.

Comparison of Hyaluronic Acid Biosynthetic Genes From Different Strains of .

produces a capsule composed of different polysaccharides according to the capsular serotype (A, B, D, E, and F). Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a component of certain capsular types of this bacterium, especially capsular type A. Previously, 2 HA biosynthetic genes from a capsular type A strain were studied for the industrial-scale improvement of HA production.

K-Nearest Neighbor and Random Forest-Based Prediction of Putative Tyrosinase Inhibitory Peptides of Abalone .

Skin pigment disorders are common cosmetic and medical problems. Many known compounds inhibit the key melanin-producing enzyme, tyrosinase, but their use is limited due to side effects. Natural-derived peptides also display tyrosinase inhibition.
