Antimicrobial peptides have been developed based on plant-derived molecular scaffolds for the treatment of infectious diseases. Chenopodin is an abundant seed storage protein in quinoa, Andean plant with high nutritional and therapeutic properties. Here, we used computer- physicochemical-based strategies designed four derived from primary structure Chenopodin. Two reproduce natural fragments 14 amino acids Chenopodin, named Chen1 Chen2, two engineered same length were sequence. The...
The conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars is considered a promising alternative for increasing ethanol production. Higher fermentation yield has been achieved through the process simultaneous saccharification and (SSF). In this study, comparison was performed between yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kluyveromyces marxianus their potential use in SSF process. Three strains S. were evaluated: two are widely used Brazilian industry (CAT-1 PE-2), one isolated based on its...
Recombinant phytases produced in Escherichia coli offer an alternative to inorganic phosphorus (P) use monogastric diets, reducing production costs and minimizing soil water pollution. The enhanced bioavailability of phytic P, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, along with the benefits inositol, is highly valued by specialists when formulating feeds optimal levels enzymatic additives.
Yeasts capable of growth on xylose were isolated from macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) fruit, a Brazilian palm tree with great potential for use as biodiesel feedstock production. Candida boidinii UFMG14 strain achieved the highest ethanol production (5 g/L) and was chosen to ferment presscake hemicellulosic hydrolysate (MPHH). The MPHH produced by first time in this work resultant fivefold concentrate showed considerable sugar content (52.3 34.2 g/L glucose, respectively) low furfural (0.01...
Biodiesel industry wastes were evaluated as supplements for lipase production by Moniliella spathulata R25L270, which is newly identified yeast with great lipolytic potential. Macaúba cake (MC), used the first time in this work inducer to produce lipases, and residual oil (RO) mixed maximise enzyme production. The secreted was biochemically characterised. best ratio mixture (MC:RO) 0.66:0.34 fitted values activity total protein concentration 0.98 U mL−1 0.356 mg mL−1, respectively. Maximum...
Phytases [myo-inositol(1,2,3,4,5,6) hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolases] are phytate-specific phosphatases not present in monogastric animals. Nevertheless, they an essential supplement to feeding such animals and for human special diets. It is crucial, hence, the biotechnological use of phytases with intrinsic stability activity at acid pHs from gastric environments. Here we Metadynamics (METADY) simulations probe conformational space
