Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is the largest by-product originated from brewery industry with a high potential for producing carbohydrases by solid-state fermentation. This work aimed to test efficacy of carbohydrases-rich extract produced fermentation BSG, enhance digestibility plant-based diet European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). First, BSG was fermented A. ibericus obtain an aqueous lyophilized (SSF-BSG extract) and incorporated in at increasing levels (0-control; 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%)....
Genome-wide assessment of genetic diversity has the potential to increase ability understand admixture, inbreeding, kinship and erosion affecting both captive (ex situ) wild (in populations threatened species. The sable antelope (Hippotragus niger), native savannah woodlands sub-Saharan Africa, is a species that being managed ex situ in public (zoo) private (ranch) collections United States. Our objective was develop whole genome sequence resources will serve as foundation for characterizing...
Abstract Aim Phylogeographic studies on savanna ungulates have extensively evaluated genetic patterns mostly related to Pleistocene climatic oscillations. We address this subject through a comprehensive assessment across the pan‐African range of roan antelope, assessing whether oscillations or natural physical barriers play predominant role in evolutionary history species. also spatial concordance structure with currently recognized subspecies. Location Sub‐Saharan Africa. Taxon Roan...
Autolysis of exponential-phase Streptococcus faecium cells was promoted by pretreating the bacteria (freezing-thawing; -70 degrees C) in Tris buffer, followed incubation at 37 C same buffer. The effect dependent on concentration. pretreatment provoked ultrastructurally visible damage with extensive loss K+ and leakage UV-absorbing components. No autolysis observed when frozen-thawed were incubated presence autolysin inhibitor N-bromosuccinimide nor they had been grown chloramphenicol or...
