Abstract Objective Characterizing the fibre properties of individuals with different hair textures across several ethnicities is important for understanding how shape varies within and between groups, these may influence consumer needs. Here, we present a high‐throughput scanning electron microscope (SEM) method simultaneous measurement cross‐sectional single parameters from hundreds hairs per sample, which has not been feasible previously. We demonstrate power through application on...
Summary Food‐derived peptides are promising materials for oral delivery purposes as they readily available, can be generated using common techniques, and their self‐assembly properties tuned specific applications. A method identifying such self‐assembling bioactive (SABP) candidates based on in silico analysis was developed allowed the discovery of a bovine‐derived SABP: FFVAPFPEVFGK. This peptide then successfully from α s1 ‐casein enzymatic hydrolysis isolated with size exclusion...
Cryofixation by high-pressure freezing (HPF) followed freeze substitution (FS) is a preferred method to prepare biological specimens for ultrastructural studies. It has been shown achieve uniform vitrification and ultrastructure preservation of complex structures in different cell types. One limitation HPF the small sample volume <200 µm thickness about 2000 across. A wool follicle rare intact organ single 200 thick. Within each follicle, specialized cells derived from multiple lineages...
Curvature in mammalian fibers, such as wool and human hair, is an important feature of the functional trait coat structure-it affects mechanical resilience thermo-insulation. However, to examine relationship between fiber curvature, ultrastructure protein composition diameter variability has be minimal. To achieve this we utilised progeny straight-wool domestic sheep mutant rams (crimp mutants) wild-type ewes. Proteomic structural results resulting mutant/wild-type twin pairs confirmed that...
Beauveria pseudobassiana formed three-dimensional aggregates of cells (CAs) in liquid culture. CAs were mainly by blastospores and conidia, distinct from microsclerotia through adhesion hyphae. The formation, germination sporulation studied, as well the pathogenicity conidia produced them against adults black beetle. After 4 days culture, formed, becoming compact melanised after 10 incubation. Electron microscopy showed averaging 431.65 µm length with irregular shapes rough surfaces, where...
Segregation into lustrous and wild-type birth coats suggested both dominant recessive inheritance patterns associated with coat subsequently low wool fibre curvature at lamb yearling shearing. The hypothesis that these phenotypes also differ in the proportion of medullated fibres (%) was tested here. Progeny expressing segregation lustre showed significant differences medullation lambs (P < 0.001), where 42.3% (SEM ± 6.5%) were phenotype, 4.8% (± 1.0%) wild-type. Medullation shearing had...
