Natural astaxanthin is known to be produced by green microalgae, a potent producer of the most powerful antioxidant. To increase productivity in random mutagenesis has been extensively used improve yield valuable substances. In presented work, newly isolated Coelastrum sp. was randomly mutagenized exposure ethyl methane sulfonate and further screened using two approaches; an approach for high growth mutant producing with high-throughput screening method glufosinate. Among these, G1-C1 that...
Morphology effect is one of the essential factors that influence performance electrochemical biosensors based on ZnO nanostructures. These nanostructures are characterized by anisotropic growth with different dimensionalities such as zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional. More interestingly, when combining each dimension into another advanced dimensionality, i.e. three-dimensional (3-D), exceptional properties can be generated not otherwise found in low dimensionalities. The...
Objectives: Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is an untreated wastewater that causes water pollution when discharge directly. Therefore, the objective of this research lies on POME treatment using microalgae. Method: Batch cultivation Chlorella sorokiniana was conducted with different volumes to distilled in order determine it phycoremediation ability. Michealis-Menten equation used as a model study biokinetic. The kinetic coefficients for substrate removal by algae. Findings: This strain showed...
Interferon-gamma-inducible protein (IP-10) belongs to the CXC class of chemokines and plays a significant role in pathophysiology various immune inflammatory responses. It is also potent angiostatic factor with antifibrotic properties. The biological activities IP-10 are exerted by interactions G-protein-coupled receptor CXCR3 expressed on Th1 lymphocytes. thus forms an attractive target for structure-based rational drug design anti-inflammatory molecules. crystal structure mouse has been...
α-1,3-Galactosyltransferase (α3GT) catalyzes the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to form an α 1−3 link with β-linked galactosides; it is part a family homologous retaining glycosyltransferases that includes histo-blood group A and B glycosyltransferases, Forssman glycolipid synthase, iGb3 some uncharacterized prokaryotic glycosyltransferases. In mammals, presence or absence active forms these enzymes results in antigenic differences between individuals species modulate interplay...
The main purpose of this study is to provide information on the biochemical composition total lipid extract three different native freshwater microalgae namely Acutodesmus obliquus CN01, Chlorella sp.Carolina-15-2069, and vulgaris NIES-1269 at growth phases, cultured under standardized conditions that will be useful for commercialization purposes due content α-linolenic acid (ALA), a type omega-3 fatty acids.We monitored growth, biomass accumulation, chlorophyll content, acids in all...
Complex glycans have important roles in biological recognition processes and considerable pharmaceutical potential. The synthesis of novel can be facilitated by engineering glycosyltransferases to modify their substrate specificities. choice sites requires the knowledge structures enzyme–substrate complexes while complexity protein necessitates exploration a large array multisite mutations. retaining glycosyltransferase, α-1,3-galactosyltransferase (α3GT), which catalyzes α-Gal epitope, has...
Halogenated compounds are recalcitrant environmental pollutants prevalent in agricultural fields, waste waters and industrial by-products, but they can be degraded by dehalogenase-containing microbes. Notably, 2-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenases employed to resolve optically active chloropropionates, as exemplified the d-specific dehalogenase from Rhizobium sp. RCI (DehD), which acts on d-2-chloropropionate not its l-enantiomer. The catalytic residues of this responsible for affinity toward...
Currently, there is no three-dimensional structure of D-specific dehalogenase (DehD) in the protein database. We modeled DehD using ab initio technique, performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and docking D-2-chloropropionate (D-2CP), D-2-bromopropionate (D-2BP), monochloroacetate (MCA), monobromoacetate (MBA), 2,2-dichloropropionate (2,2-DCP), d,l-2,3-dichloropropionate (d,l-2,3-DCP), 3-chloropropionate (3-CP) into active site. The sequences D-2-haloacid (HadD) from Pseudomonas putida...
Use of fossil fuel after about 200 years its dominance the world’s primary source energy has caused many environmental problems which increase in air pollution and climate change are major ones. Biodiesel production from microalgae is a renewable bio-friendly recognized worldwide than fuel. Unfortunately, challenge hindering biodiesel at pilot scale high cost production. This study, therefore, discusses some important steps taken to lower includes choice lipid extraction methods, biomass...
