UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) catalyzes the oxidation of (UDP-Glc) to UDP-glucuronate (UDP-GlcA), a key sugar nucleotide involved in biosynthesis plant cell wall polysaccharides. A full-length cDNA fragment coding for UGDH was cloned from cambial region 6-month-old E. grandis saplings by RT-PCR. The 1443-bp-ORF encodes protein 480 amino acids with predicted molecular weight 53 kDa. recombinant expressed Escherichia coli catalyzed conversion UDP-Glc UDP-GlcA, confirming that UGDH. deduced...
The Brazilian fermentation process has unique characteristics, such as the utilization of acid yeast cell recycling. difficulty to sterilize large volumes water and sugarcane juice enables presence indigenous yeasts. Occasionally, those strains are better adapted exert dominance over commercial employed in process. This study explored prevalence an ethanol producing unit Brazil. samples, ranging from beginning late stages harvest season, show yeast. can be observed by divergence PCR banding...
A cerveja é uma bebida oriunda da fermentação alcoólica e, devido ao metabolismo levedura e os componentes presentes no mosto, além produção do etanol, ocorre também a de compostos orgânicos voláteis (VOC) que compõem características organolépticas únicas para cada tipo produzida. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar acompanhamento processo fermentativo durante estilo Witbier, determinando alguns VOC´s por meio cromatografia gasosa com amostragem headspace. Durante as 456...
