Tequila agave bagasse (TAB) is the fibrous waste from production process. It generated in large amounts and its disposal an environmental problem. Its use as a source of fermentable sugars for biotechnological processes interest; thus, it was investigated polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by xylose-assimilating bacteria Burkholderia sacchari. First, chemically hydrolyzed, yielding 20.6 g·L−1 reducing sugars, with xylose glucose main components (7:3 ratio). Next, effect hydrolysis by-products on B....

The demand for metallic nanoparticles synthesized using green methods has increased due to their various therapeutic and clinical applications, plant biotechnology may be a potential resource facilitating sustainable of AgNPs synthesis. In this study, we evaluate the capacity extracts from Randia aculeata cell suspension culture (CSC) in synthesis at different pH values, activity against pathogenic bacteria cancer cells was evaluated. Using aqueous CSC extracts, were with 10% (w/v) fresh...

Eysenhardtia polystachya (Fabaceae) is a valuable medicinal plant from Mexico. There have been no cell culture studies of this to produce secondary metabolites. The aim work was establish callus and suspension cultures E. (Ortega) evaluate the content phenols, total flavonoids, fungicidal activity against Sclerotium cepivorum Rhizoctonia solani extracts wild cultures. An efficient protocol for induction established. maximum percentage explants inducing (100 98%) obtained using...

The effect of carbon source, to nitrogen (C/N) ratio, and limitation in nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe) on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) synthesis by the marine bacterium Saccharophagus degradans was studied. This strain able grow mineral medium produce EPS with different efficiency according C source used (g EPS/L): glucose or starch (1.5 ± 0.2); galactose, sucrose, xylose (0.7 fructose (0.3 0.1). C/N ratio (glucose/ammonium) had a significant biosynthesis due its production rise...

Eysenhardtia platycarpa (Fabaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Mexico. Biotechnological studies of its use are lacking. The objective this work was to establish cell suspension culture (CSC) E. platycarpa, determine the phytochemical constituents by spectrophotometric and gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS) methods, evaluate antifungal activity, compare them with intact plant. Friable callus CSC were established 2 mg/L 1-naphthaleneacetic acid plus 0.1 kinetin. highest total...

A simplified procedure to synthesize zwitterionic cellulose by means of N-protected aspartic anhydride under mild conditions was developed. The preparation modified samples carried out heterogeneous, aqueous reacting NH4OH-activated with anhydrides trifluoroacetyl (TFAc) and carbobenzyloxy (Cbz). Modified Cel-Asp-N-TFAc Cel-Asp-N-Cbz were characterized Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) 13C solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. functionalization degree each sample...

The present work aimed to isolate plant growth-promoting bacteria from forest soil and study their effect on the development of Pinus oocarpa. Strain C2 was selected 35 isolated for its high phosphate solubilization index (2.40) in solid media. Its ability solubilize different sources (calcium, aluminum, or iron) studied liquid medium at pH, 5 7. Maximum P released 118.44 mg/L (tricalcium phosphate). also able produce up 45 indoleacetic acid-homologous compounds (IAAs) initial glucose,...

Bacterial cellulose (BC) samples were obtained in a static culture of K. xylinus under the effect low-intensity magnetic field, UV light, NaCl, and chloramphenicol. The such stimuli on amount BC produced its production rate, specific area, pore volume, diameter evaluated. polysaccharide was enhanced 2.28-fold by exposing to light (366 nm) 1.7-fold adding chloramphenicol (0.25 mM) medium comparison control. All triggered decrease rate biosynthesis. membranes found be mesoporous materials with...
