Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of ultradispersed wood particles after ultrasonic pretreatment

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (2), 2016
Background: A study of the correlation between the particle size of lignocellulosic substrates and ultrasound pretreatment on the efficiency of further enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation to ethanol. Results: The maximum concentrations of glucose and, to a lesser extent, di- and trisaccharides were obt...

Effect of nitrogen, carbon sources and agitation speed on acetoin production of Bacillus subtilis SF4-3

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (1), 2016
Background: Currently, microbial fermentation method has become the research hotspot for acetoin production. In our previous work, an acetoin-producing strain, Bacillus subtilis SF4-3, was isolated from Japanese traditional fermented food natto. However, its conversion of glucose to acetoin was relativel...

Influence of glucose and stirring in the fermentation process in order to produce anti-Candida metabolites produced by Streptomyces sp

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 52 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the influence of glucose and stirring in the fermentation process in order to produce anti-Candida metabolites produced by Streptomyces sp. MPO4 isolated from Amazon soil. The anti-Candida metabolites production was registered after 24 h of fermentation in stirred ISP2 mediu...

Effects of IL-10 and glucose on expression of OPG and RANKL in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (4), 2016
The effects of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and glucose on mRNA and protein expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG), and its ligand, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), were investigated in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPDLFs). Primary HPDLFs were treated with different concentr...

Potential role of marine algae extract on 3T3-L1 cell proliferation and differentiation: an in vitro approach

Biol. Res; 49 (), 2016
BACKGROUND: From ancient times, marine algae have emerged as alternative medicine and foods, contains the rich source of natural products like proteins, vitamins, and secondary metabolites, especially Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) contains numerous anti-inflammatory, antioxidants and wound healing sub...

Renin-angiotensin system blockers regulate the metabolism of isolated fat cells in vitro

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (8), 2016
Due to the presence of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in tissues and its specific influence on white adipose tissue, fat cells are possible targets of pharmacological RAS blockers commonly used as anti-hypertensive drugs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of different RAS blockers on ...
