Xylitol production and furfural consumption by a wild type Geotrichum sp

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (6), 2016
Background: Xylitol is a five carbons polyol with promising medical applications. It can be obtained from chemical D-xylose reduction or by microbial fermentation of Sugarcane Bagasse Hemicellulosic Hydrolysate. For this last process, some microbial inhibitors, as furfural, constitute severe bottleneck. ...

High levels of ß-xylosidase in Thermomyces lanuginosus: potential use for saccharification

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT A new strain of Thermomyces lanuginosus was isolated from the Atlantic Forest biome, and its β-xylosidases optimization in response to agro-industrial residues was performed. Using statistical approach as a strategy for optimization, the induction of β-xylosidases activity was evaluate...

Fondaparinux versus Enoxaparin - Which is the Best Anticoagulant for Acute Coronary Syndrome? - Brazilian Registry Data

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (3), 2016
Abstract Background: Recent studies have shown fondaparinux's superiority over enoxaparin in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially in relation to bleeding reduction. The description of this finding in a Brazilian registry has not yet been documented. Objective: To com...

Isolation of high-quality RNA from Platycladus orientalis and other Cupressaceae plants

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (5), 2016
Platycladus orientalis has a lifespan of several thousand years in China, making it a good plant in which to study aging at the molecular level, but this requires sufficient quantities of high-quality P. orientalis RNA. However, no appropriate methods have been reported for total RNA isolation from P. or...

The exopolysaccharides biosynthesis by Candida yeast depends on carbon sources

Electron. j. biotechnol; 19 (4), 2016
Background: The exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by yeast exhibit physico-chemical and rheological properties, which are useful in the production of food and in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as well. The effect was investigated of selected carbon sources on the biosynthesis of EPS by Candid...

Analysis of biomechanical parameters in colonic anastomosis

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 29 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Background: The use of measures in colonic anastomoses to prevent dehiscences is of great medical interest. Sugarcane molasses, which has adequate tolerability and compatibility in vivo, has not yet been tested for this purpose. Aim: To analyze the biomechanical parameters of colonic suture ...

El ácido hialurónico es un glicosaminoglicano presente en todos los tejidos del cuerpo, matrizextracelular y revistiendo vasos sanguíneos. El ácido hialurónico es igual en todo el cuerpo y debido a estoes biocompatible al ser aplicado en los seres humanos, tiene diversos usos que lo hacen actualment...

Tratamiento exitoso con fondaparinux en trombocitopenia inducida por heparina y trombosis
Successful treatment with fondaparinux in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis

Medicina (B.Aires); 75 (5), 2015
La trombocitopenia inducida por heparina (TIH) es una reacción adversa inmunológica caracterizada por trombocitopenia y la asociación paradojal de trombosis arterial o venosa. Es causada por la formación de anticuerpos IgG contra el complejo multimolecular de heparina-factor plaquetario 4 (FP4). Fond...

Isolation of the intracellular and extracellular polysaccharides of Ganoderma neojaponicum (Imazeki) and characterization of their immunomodulatory properties

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (3), 2015
Background The role of polysaccharides isolated from the Ganoderma species of fungi in innate immunity has recently become a topic of research. Although some work has been conducted concerning Ganoderma lucidum, the characteristics of polysaccharides isolated from Ganoderma neojaponicum (Imazeki) as immu...

Pullulan: an advantageous natural polysaccharide excipient to formulate tablets of alendronate-loaded microparticles

Braz. j. pharm. sci; 51 (1), 2015
This work reports the preparation of tablets by direct compression of sodium alendronate-loaded microparticles, using pullulan as filler. The tableting properties of pullulan were compared with those of microcrystalline cellulose and lactose. Pullulan tablets showed low variations in average weight, thic...
