Fatty acid composition and metabolic pathways in Arbacia dufresnii (Arbaciidae: Arbacioida) gametes: implications of shrimp byproducts in aquaculture feeds

Rev. biol. trop; 72 (supl.1), 2024
Abstract Introduction: Care towards nutrition is essential for the quality of a sustainable aquaculture product. Since the balance in food affects the growth and production of gametes. The circular economy is made possible through the use of discarded materials. Objective: The aim of this research wa...

The Relationship between Functional and Evolutionary Correlations of Enzyme Reactions in Metabolic Network Evolution

Abstract The evolution of species is inevitably accompanied by the evolution of metabolic networks to adapt to different environments. The metabolic networks of different species were collected from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) website, and some enzyme reactions with the highest occ...

Effects of growth hormone in the central nervous system

ABSTRACT Growth hormone (GH) is best known for its effect stimulating tissue and somatic growth through the regulation of cell division, regeneration and proliferation. However, GH-responsive neurons are spread over the entire central nervous system, suggesting that they have important roles in the brain...

Visual FTBL Generator: Visual Generation Tool for 13C-FLUX File

Abstract 13C metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) has achieved increasing significance in quantitative metabolic system analysis in recent years. In 13C metabolic flux analysis, 13C-FLUX software is a major analytical tool. The software's input script is primarily expressed in textual form without visual pr...

Draft genome sequence of Paraburkholderia tropica Ppe8 strain, a sugarcane endophytic diazotrophic bacterium

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract Paraburkholderia tropica (syn Burkholderia tropica) are nitrogen-fixing bacteria commonly found in sugarcane. The Paraburkholderia tropica strain Ppe8 is part of the sugarcane inoculant consortium that has a beneficial effect on yield. Here, we report a draft genome sequence of this strain eluci...

Genome sequence of Streptomyces gilvigriseus MUSC 26T isolated from mangrove forest

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (2), 2018
Abstract Streptomycetes remain as one of the important sources for bioactive products. Isolated from the mangrove forest, Streptomyces gilvigriseus MUSC 26T was previously characterised as a novel streptomycete. The high quality draft genome of MUSC 26T contained 5,213,277 bp with G + C content of 73.0%....

Comparative metagenome of a stream impacted by the urbanization phenomenon

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (4), 2016
Abstract Rivers and streams are important reservoirs of freshwater for human consumption. These ecosystems are threatened by increasing urbanization, because raw sewage discharged into them alters their nutrient content and may affect the composition of their microbial community. In the present study, we...

Ligninolytic fungus Polyporus sp. S133 mediated metabolic degradation of fluorene

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the impact of nonionic surfactants on the efficacy of fluorine degradation by Polyporus sp. S133 in a liquid culture. Fluorene was observed to be degraded in its entirety by Polyporus sp. S133 subsequent to a 23-day incubation period. The fastest cell growth rate ...

Metabolismo de la Vitamina D: rol en la génesis de enfermedades

La vitamina D clásicamente ha sido relacionada con el metabolismo óseo, sin embargo ejerce diversas funciones en varios tejidos del organismo que poseen el receptor para vitamina D (VCR) yson susceptibles a su efecto. La disminución de vitamina D también se ha asociado a patologías “no clásicas�...

In vitro activity of phospholipase A 2 and of peptides from Crotalus durissus terrificus venom against amastigote and promastigote forms of Leishmania (L) infantum chagasi

Background American visceral leishmaniasis is caused by the intracellular parasiteLeishmania (L.) infantum chagasi, and transmitted by the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis. Since treatment is based on classical chemotherapeutics with significant side effects, the search for new drugs remains the greatest ...
