SUMMARY Morphogenesis of the intricate patterns diatom silica cell walls is a protein‐guided process, yet to date only very few such biomineralization proteins have been identified. Therefore, it currently unknown whether all diatoms share conserved basal forming machinery, and unique are responsible for morphogenesis species‐specific patterns. To answer these questions, we extracted from three species ( Thalassiosira pseudonana , oceanica Cyclotella cryptica ) by complete demineralization...
Bioactive peptides are fragments of polypeptide chains with specific sequence amino acids that can promote positive effects on human health. A potential substrate to obtaining these compounds is the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv Carioca) due its high protein content. In this sense, objective study was evaluate antioxidant and antidiabetic properties hydrolysates. The proteases Flavourzyme™ 500L, Alcalase™ 2.4 L Neutrase™ 0.8 were applied individually in binary/ternary combinations,...
This study reports the use of statistical mixture design as a tool for simultaneous production lipase, CMCase, α-amylase, and β-glucosidase by Aspergillus niger under solid-state fermentation. Wheat bran, soybean meal, cottonseed orange peel were used substrates, either individually or combined in different formulations, to their synergistic antagonistic effects on enzymes. The highest lipase (323 U g-1) CMCase (10 activities detected after 48 h, while maximum α-amylase (18 (15 occurred at...
Screening of new microbial strains for enzyme production is a key step in the improvement industrial bioprocesses. The objective this work was to isolate fungal from Brazilian rainforests and evaluate their potential produce enzymes by solid state fermentation. First, 131 filamentous fungi were isolated Amazon rainforest Atlantic regions. Strains selected simple plate assay had ability lipase tannase fermentation wheat bran evaluated. Maximum enzymatic activity 1.35 18.7 U/mL reached...
Correct elaboration of N-linked glycans in the secretory pathway human cells is essential physiology. Early N-glycan biosynthesis follows an assembly line principle before undergoing crucial points that feature sequential incorporation sugar N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). The activity GlcNAc transferase V (MGAT5) primes antenna heavily upregulated cancer. Yet, functional relevance and substrate choice MGAT5 are ill-defined. Here, we employ a tactic termed bump-and-hole engineering to develop...
