Primary and Secondary Succession Mediate the Accumulation of Biogenic Amines during Industrial Semidry Chinese Rice Wine Fermentation.

The use of exogenous functional microorganisms to regulate biogenic amine (BA) content is a common approach in fermentation systems. Here, to better understand the microbial traits of succession trajectories in resource-based and biotic interference systems, the BA-related primary and secondary succession were tracked during industrial semidry Chinese rice wine (CRW) fermentation. Dominant abundance and BA-associated microbial functionality based on phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) indicated that , , , , and spp.

Research/review: Insights into the mutation-induced dysfunction of arachidonic acid metabolism from modeling of human CYP2J2.

As a kind of monooxygenase with the function of catalyzing many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids, CYP2J2 is an important member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily. Located at the endoplasmic reticulum, CYP2J2 is responsible for epoxidation of endogenous arachidonic acid in cardiac tissue to produce cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which have anti-inflammatory and antifibrinolytic properties, and can protect endothelial cells from ischemic or hypoxic injuries. Some polymorphisms, e.

Molecular simulation to investigate the cofactor specificity for pichia stipitis Xylose reductase.

Xylose is one of the most abundant carbohydrates in nature, and widely used to produce bioethanol via fermentation in industry. Xylulose can produce two key enzymes: xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase. Owing to the disparate cofactor specificities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase, intracellular redox imbalance is detected during the xylose fermentation, resulting in low ethanol yields.
