Heterologous expression and characterization of a MoAA16 polysaccharide monooxygenase from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae

BACKGROUND Cellulose is an organic carbon source that can be used as a sustainable alternative for energy, materials, and chemicals. However, the substantial challenge of converting it into soluble sugars remains a major obstacle in its use as a biofuel and chemical feedstock. A new class of enzymes know...

Analysis of the biocompatibility of a biocelulose and a poly L- lactic acid membrane

Braz. j. oral sci; 21 (), 2022
The use of selective barriers as resorbable membranes has become a routine clinical procedure for guided bone regeneration. Therefore, the production of membranes with a low inflammatory potential during their resorption process has become the goal of a considerable number of researches. Aim: The purpose...

RESUMEN Objetivo. Desarrollar y evaluar un método de bajo costo basado en celulosa para la purificación rápida y amplificación directa de ADN de Bordetella pertussis de hisopados nasofaríngeos. Materiales y métodos. Se prepararon discos de celulosa y se evaluaron diferentes parámetros (buffers...

Immobilisation of solvatochromic dyes on transparent cellulose films; an improved methodology for the study of homeopathic potencies

Highly diluted and succussed solutions (homeopathic potencies) have been shown to interact with a wide range of solvatochromic dyes based on changes in their UV-visible spectra. Studies so far have involved free dyes in solution, but there is a pressing need to find ways t...

Bioprospecção de celulase em bactérias do solo da Mata Atlântica
Cellullase bioprospection In Atlantic Forest soil Bacteria

J. Health Sci. Inst; 40 (3), 2022
Objetivo – analisar a produção de celulases por bactérias do solo da Mata Atlântica. Métodos – Para tanto, 68 linhagens bacterianas pertencentes à Coleção de bactérias da Mata Atlântica da UNIP Santos Rangel, isoladas em TSA e meio específico para actinobactéria (IPS3) foram testadas em m...

Changes in chemical composition of cover crops residue during decomposition

Ciênc. rural (Online); 52 (4), 2022
Crop residues decomposition are controlled by chemical tissue components. This study evaluated changes on plant tissue components, separated by the Van Soest partitioning method, during cover crop decomposition. The Van Soest soluble fraction was the first to be released from the crop residues, followed ...

Enhancement of dissolution rate of racecadotril by liquisolid compact technology

Abstract The current investigation was used to improve the rate of dissolution of an anti-diarrheal drug i.e., racecadotril (RT) at low pH conditions (i.e., in the stomach) by reducing the water secretion and electrolyte in to the intestine by liquisolid tablets. Different formulations (liquisolid) were ...

Metagenomics approach to identify lignocellulose-degrading enzymes in the gut microbiota of the Chinese bamboo rat cecum

BACKGROUND: Lignocellulose is considered a renewable organic material, but the industrial production of biofuel from lignocellulose is challenging because of the lack of highly active hydrolytic enzymes. The guts of herbivores contain many symbiotic microorganisms that have evolved to hydrolyze plant lig...

Ocular surface findings in impression cytology after interferon a2b or mitomycin C in rabbits

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (4), 2021
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe ocular surface findings in impression cytology obtained from healthy rabbit conjunctiva treated with interferon alpha-2b eyedrop, and compare them to findings after use of mitomycin C 0.02%. Methods: An experimental study using a rabbit model was performed between Septem...

Vegetable cellulose nanofiber dressing aids in the healing process of third-degree burns? study on rats
