The honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) has been used in several studies for monitoring the environmental health status terms of pollution, due to its wide-ranging foraging flights. Based on this consideration, study aimed analyze heavy metal pollution Molise Region (Italy), by investigating five sites characterized different levels contamination. Furthermore, authors carried out a sampling activity long period, order obtain complete dataset. In way, detailed information about environments was able...
Deformed wing virus (DWV) is a major honey bee pathogen that actively transmitted by the parasitic mite Varroa destructor and plays primary role in Apis mellifera winter colony losses. Despite intense investigation on this pollinator, which has unique environmental economic importance, mechanisms underlying molecular interactions between DWV bees are still poorly understood. Here, we report group of proteins, identified mass spectrometry, specifically co-immunoprecipitate with particles....
Abstract This paper reports results on the verification of 1Ax2* high molecular weight glutenin subunit sequence in Cheyenne cultivar. The gene protein is known but recently some text changes have been made, and furthermore until now no characterization post‐translational modifications has reported. two published sequences, named I II, differ four residues at positions 23, 208, 475, 611. first contains 20 Arg 6 Lys residues, producing 26 tryptic fragments, since 109 ‐Pro 110 bond generally...
A study on the sequence and composition of copolyamides formed by activated exchange reactions occurring in melt mixing Ny6,10 Ny6,6 is reported. Equimolar mixtures Ny6,10, Ny6,6, carboxyl-terminated (Ny6,6-COOH) samples were mixed at different temperatures (290−310 °C) for times (10−180 min). The determination formation, sequence, proved to be unfeasible with 13C NMR spectroscopy. On other hand, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization−time-of-flight (MALDI−TOF) mass spectra allowed...
Abstract This study describes the verification of cDNA‐deduced amino acid sequences high molecular weight glutenin subunits 1Dy10 and 1Bx7 in Cheyenne cultivar by direct matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOFMS) analysis their tryptic fragments omitting chromatographic pre‐separation. These polypeptides have a conserved structure consisting long central repetitive domain that prevents application conventional sequencing procedures such as...
Ny6-Ny6,10 and Ny6-Ny4,6 copolyamides prepared by a facile melt mixing at 290−310 °C of carboxyl terminated Nylon6 (Ny6-COOH) with Ny6,10 or Ny4,6, were characterized MALDI, 13C NMR, DSC analysis. The results, from one side show how is the high yield synthesis random via corresponding polyamides. What makes so use polyamide to attack other (Ny4,6 Ny6,10), as described herewith. data acquired provide clear picture process. second relevant point about sequence analysis copolyamides, made using...
Bioremediation of pharmaceuticals has gained large research efforts, but there is still a need to improve the performance bioremediation systems by selecting effective organisms. In this study, we characterized capability remove clarithromycin (CLA) and diclofenac (DCF) bacterium Streptomyces rochei, fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium Trametes versicolor. The macrolide antibiotic CLA non-steroid anti-inflammatory DCF were selected because these are two most frequently detected drugs in water...
The integration of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in bakery products is currently trending, which aims to enhance the taste quality satisfy consumer preferences. This study explored interaction Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Papiliotrema terrestris during dough fermentation. Yeasts LAB were monitored every three hours over a twelve-hour period. chemical parameters characteristics both bread analyzed. highest level S. cerevisiae was observed control treatment (9.30...
A selection of hydroxyacetophenones has been investigated as matrices for the analysis, by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin mixtures from three wheat varieties. Mass spectra were obtained directly HMW extracts without any preliminary purification and separation steps. According to quality spectra, using different hydroxyacetophenones, it possible classify on basis their suitability analyte properties. Only two...
Gibberellin derivatives are a family of tetracyclic diterpenoid plant hormones used in agriculture as growth regulators included the European Directive 91/414. In pesticide peer review process and to assess their toxicological relevance product chemical equivalence, Food Safety Authority (EFSA) highlighted data gaps such identification hydrolysis products unknown impurities. The aspect impurity characterization quantitation is challenging requires use hyphenated analytical techniques. this...
The measurement of atmospheric deposition fluxes is an excellent tool for assessing the contamination territory and subsequent exposure population to major contaminants through food chain. In this context, aim study was measure polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) in city Rome (ISS Station) during year 2022/2023 at two different heights above ground (vertical profile), order evaluate influence that vertical profile has on PAH deposition. Two measuring positions were identified, one street...
Abstract Bioremediation of pharmaceuticals (PhCs) has gained large research efforts, but there is still a need to improve the performance bioremediation systems by selecting effective organisms. In this study, we characterized capability remove clarithromycin (CLA) and diclofenac (DCF) bacterium Streptomyces rochei, fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium Trametes versicolor. Growth content PhCs DCF metabolite (MET) energy crop Arundo donax L. were also evaluated under hydroponic conditions. The...
