Abstract Monascus has been used to produce natural colorants and food supplements for more than one thousand years approximately billion people eat Monascus- fermented products during their daily life. In this study, using next-generation sequencing optical mapping approaches, a 24.1-Mb complete genome of an industrial strain, purpureus YY-1, was obtained. This consists eight chromosomes 7,491 genes. Phylogenetic analysis at the level provides convincing evidence evolutionary position M. ....
Galliform birds (relatives of the chicken and turkey) have attracted substantial attention due to their importance society value as model systems. This makes understanding evolutionary history Galliformes, especially species-rich family Phasianidae, particularly interesting important for comparative studies in this group. Previous differed conclusions regarding galliform phylogeny. Some these suggested that specific clades within order underwent rapid radiations, potentially leading observed...
A new species of the genus Goniurosaurus, G. zhoui sp. nov., is described based on specimens collected from karst areas in Hainan Island, China. Quantitative comparison morphological traits and egg size with two known endemic Island other congeners confirmed distinctiveness which has a moderate snout-vent length 93.4-97.4 mm; light purple-brown dorsal ground color adults; posteriorly protracted nuchal loop nape; four faint, purple-gray body bands bearing dark purple spots between them; eight...
Abstract Aim We examined divergence times and biogeography of the avian order Galliformes (which, despite a nearly world‐wide distribution, includes many weak fliers), to test whether current distributions reflect vicariance or long‐distance dispersal. also tested impact taxon sampling tree topology on our estimates historical biogeography. Location World‐wide. Methods generated timetrees for all major galliform lineages using several fossil calibrations combination mitochondrial nuclear...
Several plant lineages have evolved adaptations that allow survival in extreme and harsh environments including many families within the clade Portulacineae (Caryophyllales) such as Cactaceae, Didiereaceae, Montiaceae. Here, using newly generated transcriptomic data, we reconstructed phylogeny of examined potential correlates between molecular evolution adaptation to environments. Our phylogenetic results were largely congruent with previous analyses, but identified several early diverging...
Monascus purpureus YY-1 is widely used in food colorant production China. Our previous study clearly illustrated the whole-genome data for and provided useful insight into evolutionary research industrial applications. However, presence of citrinin, which has nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, carcinogenic activities, attracted attention to safety products. In an effort reduce harmful effects citrinin Monascus-related products, a random mutant M. with low (designated as "winter") was obtained this...
The aim of this research was to prepare curdlan-based emulsion micro-gel particles with different concentration the curdlan (0.5 g/100 mL, 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 mL), which respectively named as CEM(0.5), CEM(1.0), CEM(1.5), CEM(2.0), CEM(2.5). And microstructural, rheological and texture properties were investigated. Then, CEM(1.0) used a compound fat replacement in pork sausages effects rates on caloric value, sensory quality results showed that WPI aggregation, hardness, shear stress, G′ G″...
Mitochondrial DNA sequences are frequently transferred into the nuclear genome, giving rise to numts (nuclear mitochondrial segments). In absence of whole genomes, avian have been suggested be rare and relatively short. We examined 64 bird genomes test hypotheses regarding numt frequency, distribution among taxa, likelihood homoplasy. discovered 100-fold variation in number across species. Two songbirds, Geospiza fortis (Darwin's finch) Zonotrichia albicollis (white-throated sparrow) had...
Unsaturated fat replacement should be used to reduce the use of saturated and trans fatty acids in diet. In this study, pea protein micro-gels (PPMs) with different structures were prepared by microparticulation at pH 4.0–7.0 named as PPM (pH 4.0), 4.5), 5.0), 5.5), 6.0), 6.5), 7.0). Pea was a control evaluate structure interfacial properties PPMs particle size distribution, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), free sulfhydryl group content, emulsifying property. 7.0) suitable for...
Cronobacter sakazakii is an important foodborne pathogen that causes neonatal meningitis and sepsis, with high mortality in neonates. However, very little information available regarding the pathogenesis of C. at genetic level. In our previous study, a cellulose biosynthesis-related gene (bcsR) was shown to be involved adhesion/invasion into epithelial cells. this detailed functions were investigated using knockout technique. A bcsR mutant (ΔbcsR) ATCC BAA-894 showed decreased (3.9-fold)...
Chitosan (CS) and pea protein isolate (PPI) were used as raw materials to prepare nanoparticles. The structures functional properties of the nanoparticles with three ratios (1:1, 1:2 1:3, CS:PPI) evaluated. particle sizes chitosan-pea (CS-PPI) 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 802.95 ± 71.94, 807.10 86.22, 767.75 110.10 nm, respectively, there no significant differences. Through analysis turbidity, endogenous fluorescence spectroscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, interaction between CS PPI was...
