In the incubation of 3-acetylcoumarin in rat liver supernatant fraction (S-9), four metabolites were isolated, and two of which were inseparable diastereomeric mixture as a major product. However, when 3-acetylcoumarin was fermented with baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), only two compounds were obtained as the same as the above mixture. The structures of those metabolites were confirmed by NMR and Mass spectra. However, the above metabolites in rat 9000xg supernatant fraction were not induced by phenobarbital, nor inhibited with SKF-525A at all.

Membrane fouling is a common and complex challenge with cell culture perfusion process in biopharmaceutical manufacturing that can have detrimental effects on the process performance. In this study, we evaluated a method to calculate the hollow fiber membrane resistance at different time points for water and supernatant. In addition, the number of subvisible particles of < 200 nm.

Continued efforts to discover new antibacterial molecules are critical to achieve a robust pre-clinical pipeline for new antibiotics. Screening of compound or natural product extract libraries remains a widespread approach and can benefit from the development of whole cell assays that are robust, simple and versatile, and allow for high throughput testing of antibacterial activity. In this study, we created and validated two bioluminescent reporter strains for high-throughput screening, one in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and another in a hyperporinated and efflux-deficient Escherichia coli.

The branched structure of amylose was probed using concanavalin A (ConA) lectin, which forms precipitable aggregates with highly branched glucans, such as glycogen and amylopectin. Rice (japonica cultivar) amylose was fractionated from de-fatted, gelatinized starch by precipitation with 1-butanol (BuOH) and purified by ultracentrifugation and repeated crystallization. The purified amylose still has short side chains, whose chain-length (CL) distribution resembles that of amylopectin.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a major health issue that can lead to intellectual disability if not detected and treated earlier. The preliminary screening program for neonatal CH in Indonesia gave a provisional incidence of 1:2513. Newborn screening using a dried blood spot sample is the standard method for CH detection, but it has limitations.

Hypoxia-induced radioresistance limits therapeutic success in cancer. In addition, p53 mutations are widespread in tumors including non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs), and they might modify the radiation response of hypoxic tumor cells. We therefore analyzed the DNA damage and inflammatory response in chronically hypoxic (1% O, 48 h) p53 null H358 NSCLC cells after X-ray exposure.
