The long-term effect of glutaraldehyde on the bacterial community in anaerobic ammonium oxidation reactor.

A 160-day incubation was performed with two anammox reactors (GA and CK) to investigate the effect of glutaraldehyde. The results indicated that anammox bacteria were very sensitive when glutaraldehyde in GA reactor increased to 40 mg/L, the nitrogen removal efficiency sharply decreased to 11%, only one-quarter of CK. Glutaraldehyde changed spatial distribution of exopolysaccharides, caused anammox bacteria (Brocadia CK_gra75) to disassociate from granules (24.

Promising anti- cervical carcinoma and inflammatory agent, Resveratrol targets poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) induced premature ovarian failure with a potent enzymatic modulatory activity.

Radioprotective effects of Resveratrol is well known in normal cells exposed to the damaging effects of ionizing radiation however, its potential radioprotective effect on ovarian follicle formation and development is still uncertain. Astonishingly, it has been reported that PARP contributed to the pathogenesis of immune-mediated ovarian injury. In this paper, Resveratrol was tested for its inflammatory, anti-cervical carcinoma activity, and checked its targets poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) induced premature ovarian failure with a potent enzymatic modulatory activity.

[Isolation, Identification and Characteristic Analysis of an Oil-producing Chlorella sp. Tolerant to High-strength Anaerobic Digestion Effluent].

A Chlorella strain tolerant to high-strength anaerobic digestion effluent was isolated from the anaerobic digestion effluent with a long-term exposure to air. The strain was identified as a Chlorella by morphological and molecular biological methods, and named Chlorella sp. BWY-1, The anaerobic digestion effluent used in this study was from a biogas plant with the raw materials of swine wastewater after solid-liquid separation.

Bamboo: a new source of carbohydrate for biorefinery.

Bamboo is perennial woody grass, which distributed widely in the world and belonged to the Gramineae family and Bambuseae subfamily. It may be consider as a candidate lignocellulosic substrate for bio-ethanol production for its environmental benefits and higher annual biomass yield. The conversion of bamboo into bio-ethanol, bio-methane, natural food, flavonoids, and functional xylo-oligosaccharides production were reviewed in this paper.

Zymomonas mobilis: a novel platform for future biorefineries.

Biosynthesis of liquid fuels and biomass-based building block chemicals from microorganisms have been regarded as a competitive alternative route to traditional. Zymomonas mobilis possesses a number of desirable characteristics for its special Entner-Doudoroff pathway, which makes it an ideal platform for both metabolic engineering and commercial-scale production of desirable bio-products as the same as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on consideration of future biomass biorefinery. Z.

Transcriptome profiling of Zymomonas mobilis under ethanol stress.

Background: High tolerance to ethanol is a desirable characteristics for ethanologenic strains used in industrial ethanol fermentation. A deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying ethanologenic strains tolerance of ethanol stress may guide the design of rational strategies to increase process performance in industrial alcoholic production. Many extensive studies have been performed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli.

Alternatively spliced transcripts of group 3 late embryogenesis abundant protein from Pogonatherum paniceum confer different abiotic stress tolerance in Escherichia coli.

The gene encoding a group 3 late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein was cloned from callus of the drought-tolerant grass Pogonatherum paniceum. Three alternatively spliced transcripts of this gene were amplified by RT-PCR. According to the bioinformatics analysis, the gene contained three exons and two introns.

Transcriptome profiling of Zymomonas mobilis under furfural stress.

Furfural from lignocellulosic hydrolysates is the prevalent inhibitor to microorganisms during cellulosic ethanol production, but the molecular mechanisms of tolerance to this inhibitor in Zymomonas mobilis are still unclear. In this study, genome-wide transcriptional responses to furfural were investigated in Z. mobilis using microarray analysis.

[DNA methylation-mediated regulation of OsMAPK2 gene expression in rice callus formation].

A DNA segment with DNA methylation site was detected from rice callus with or without 5-azaC treatment by MSAP. This segment was located on the first exon of gene OsMAPK2 and its 5' non-coding region. Gene OsMAPK2 had a CpG island in the 5' region and was homologous to AtMAPK12.

A flexible pro-porous coordination polymer: non-conventional synthesis and separation properties towards CO(2)/CH(4) mixtures.

The novel coordination polymers [Cu(Hoxonic)(H(2)O)](n) (1) and [Cu(Hoxonic)(bpy)(0.5)](n)1.5 n H(2)O (2 subsetH(2)O) (H(3)oxonic: 4,6-dihydroxy-1,3,5-triazine-2-carboxylic acid; bpy: 4,4'-bipyridine) have been isolated and structurally characterised by ab initio X-ray powder diffraction.

Manganese(II) pyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylates: synthetic, structural, magnetic, and adsorption insights.

A series of manganese(II) coordination polymers containing the bridging ligand pyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylate (pmdc) have been prepared. The stoichiometries and structural features of these materials, which range from the one-dimensional (1D) chains in ([Mn(mu-pmdc)(H2O)3].2H2O)n (1) and ([Mn2(mu-pmdc)2(H2O)5].
