Previous results demonstrated that androgen-dependent rat specific epididymal proteins (SEP) were bound to spermatozoa during their maturation in the epididymis. This paper describes the purification of glycoprotein DE, which constitutes 40% of SEP, and the identification and semiquantitative determination of the sugars forming its oligosaccharide chain. Affinity chromatography on Sepharose-Concanavalin A produced a sample of D-E 95% pure in which 10.5 g of sugar were present per 100 g protein. The percentual composition of the oligosaccharide was D-mannose 19%; D-galactose 3%; N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 33%; N-acetyl-neuraminic acid 31% and D-glucose 13%.

Background: Maintaining gut health is a persistent and unresolved challenge in the poultry industry. Given the critical role of gut health in chicken performance and welfare, there is a pressing need to identify effective gut health intervention (GHI) strategies to ensure optimal outcomes in poultry farming. In this study, across three broiler production cycles, we compared the metagenomes and performance of broilers provided with ionophores (as the control group) against birds subjected to five different GHI combinations involving vaccination, probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and reduction of ionophore use.

Dispersal plays a crucial role in the development and ecology of biofilms. While extensive studies focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing this process, few have characterized the associated temporal changes in composition and structure. Here, we employed solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to achieve time-resolved characterization of Bacillus subtilis biofilms over a 5-day period.

The mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus is widely produced in Brazil and its stipes are discarded before commercialization. In the present study, this agricultural fungal waste (mushroom stipes), was analyzed by preparing an aqueous extract and obtaining the polysaccharides by ethanol precipitation (POS-extract). The fraction presented 37 % of carbohydrates and small amounts of proteins and phenolic compounds.
