Article Abstract
The advancement of knowledge about the physiology of Dekkera bruxellensis has shown its potential for the production of fuel ethanol very close to the conventional fermenting yeast S. cerevisiae. However, some aspects of its metabolism remain uncovered. In the present study, the respiro-fermentative parameters of D. bruxellensis GDB 248 were evaluated under different cultivation conditions. The results showed that sucrose was more efficiently converted to ethanol than glucose, regardless the nitrogen source, which points out for the industrial efficiency of this yeast in sucrose-based substrate. The blockage of the cytosolic acetate production incremented the yeast fermentative efficiency by 27% (in glucose) and 14% (in sucrose). On the other hand, the presence of nitrate as inducer of acetate production reducing the production of ethanol. Altogether, these results settled the hypothesis that acetate metabolism is the main constraint for ethanol production. Besides, this acetate-generating pathway seems to exert some regulatory action on the flux and distribution of the carbon flowing through the central metabolism. These physiological aspects were corroborated by the relative expression analysis of key genes in the crossroad to ethanol, acetate and biomass formation. All the results were discussed in the light of the industrial potential of this yeast.

Mast cell-mediated reactions promote various allergic disease, including anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis. Different data demonstrated an intricate relationship between the use of antihistaminic drugs, the onset of side effects, and the development of resistance, underscoring the importance to find novel therapeutic approaches to treat allergic diseases. Olive leaf extract (OLE), is a by-product of the olive tree rich in bioactive compounds, known for its numerous therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, anti-tumoral and antidiabetic effects.

The annotated and predicted genomes of five archaeal strains (AS1, AS2, AS8, AS11 and AS19), isolated from Sfax solar saltern sediments (Tunisia) and affiliated with , were performed by RAST webserver (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) and NCBI prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline (PGAP). The results showed the ability of strains to use a reduced semi-phosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose degradation and an Embden-Meyerhof one for gluconeogenesis. They could use glucose, fructose, glycerol, and acetate as sole source of carbon and energy.
