Solid state fermentation to obtain vegetable products bio-enriched with isoflavone aglycones using lactic cultures

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
The consumption of soybean isoflavones (IS) is associated with several beneficial properties on human health. Some lactic acid bacteria possess ß-glucosidase enzyme, that allows to obtain the active form of IS (aglycone). The solid state fermentation (SSF) has received great attention in the last years ...

Cellulolytic ability of a promising Irpex lacteus (Basidiomycota: Polyporales) strain from the subtropical rainforest of Misiones province, Argentina

Rev. biol. trop; 66 (3), 2018
Abstract The cellulolytic activity of fungi growing in the subtropical rainforest of Misiones (Argentina) represents a challenge in the technological development of the production of cellulosic bioethanol in the region using native sources. These fungi are promising to obtain sustainable enzyme cocktails...

Production of thermostable β-glucosidase and CMCase by Penicillium sp: LMI01 isolated from the Amazon region

Background: Cellulolytic enzymes of microbial origin have great industrial importance because of their wide application in various industrial sectors. Fungi are considered the most efficient producers of these enzymes. Bioprospecting survey to identify fungal sources of biomass-hydrolyzing enzymes from a...

In vivo assay to identify bacteria with β-glucosidase activity

Background: β-Glucosidase assay is performed with purified or semipurified enzymes extracted from cell lysis. However, in screening studies, to find bacteria with β-glucosidase activity among many tested bacteria, a fast method without cell lysis is desirable. In that objective, we report an in vivo β...

Microbial transformation of ginsenosides extracted from Panax ginseng adventitious roots in an airlift bioreactor

Background: Ginsenoside is the most important secondary metabolite in ginseng. Natural sources of wild ginseng have been overexploited. Although root culture can reduce the length of the growth cycle of ginseng, the number of species of ginsenosides is reduced and their contents are lower in the adventit...

Production of beta-glucosidase on solid-state fermentation by Lichtheimia ramosa in agroindustrial residues: characterization and catalytic properties of the enzymatic extract

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (4), 2015
Background β-Glucosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of cellobiose and cellodextrins, releasing glucose as the main product. This enzyme is used in the food, pharmaceutical, and biofuel industries. The aim of this work is to improve the β-glucosidase production by the fungus Lichtheimia ramosa by ...

Optimal immobilization of Beta-glucosidase into chitosan beads using response surface methodology

Electron. j. biotechnol; 16 (6), 2013
Background: β-Glucosidase is known as an effective catalyst for the hydrolysis of various glycosides and immobilization is one of the most efficient strategies to improve its activity recovery and properties. Results: Crosslinking-adsorption-crosslinking method was employed to immobilize β-gluc...

Informe de evaluación rápida de tecnología sobre seguridad y efectividad de la imiglucerasa para enfermedad de Gaucher tipo I
Rapid evaluation report of technology on the safety and effectiveness of imiglucerase for Gaucher disease type I

La Enfermedad de Gaucher es la enfermedad más común de depósito lisosomal, pertenece al grupo de enfermedades catalogadas como errores innatos del metabolismo y se trasmite por herencia autosómica recesiva. (1) Se caracteriza por la presencia de mutaciones patológicas en los genes que codifican la e...

Purificação e caracterização das ß-glicosidases digestivas de Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera)

Foram purificadas através de uma combinação de cromatografias as duas ß-glicosidases digestivas (Mr 47.000 e 50.000 - denominadas ßgli47 e ßgli50, respectivamente) encontradas na larva de S. frugiperda. Experimentos de competição entre substratos e modificação química mostraram que a ßgli47 p...

Identificación rápida de escherichia coli en muestras de orina
Quick identification of escherichia coli in urine samples

Rev. chil. infectol; 12 (3), 1995
El microorganismo gram negativo que se aisla con mayor frecuencia en muestras clínicas es escherichia coli. Con el objeto de identificar en forma rápida la presencia de escherichia coli en los urocultivos, se ensayó un sistema de identificación acortado que incluyó prueba de oxidasa, indol y activid...
