Molecular adaptation mechanisms employed by ethanologenic bacteria in response to lignocellulose-derived inhibitory compounds
(Ivyspring, 2013)
Current international interest in finding alternative sources of energy to the diminishing supplies of
fossil fuels has encouraged research efforts in improving biofuel production technologies. In
countries which lack ...
Modulation of antioxidant enzyme activities and metabolites ratios by nitric oxide in short-term salt stressed soybean root nodules
(Elsevier, 2013)
Several abiotic factors cause molecular damage to plants either directly or through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We investigated if application of nitric oxide (NO) donor ...
Balancing redox cofactor generation and ATP synthesis: key microaerobic responses in thermophilic fermentations
(Wiley, 2013)
Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a Grampositive, thermophilic bacterium capable of ethanologenic fermentation of both C5 and C6 sugars and may have possible use for commercial bioethanol production [Tang et al., 2009; ...
Nitric oxide (NO) regulates the expression of single-domain cystatins in glycine max (soybean)
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2013)
Plant cystatins inhibit cysteine proteases and are important in regulating plant development and plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Furthermore, nitric oxide plays a signaling role in regulating plant responses ...
Assessment of temporal and spatial evolution of bacterial communities in a biological sand filter mesocosm treating winery wastewater
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2013)
AIMS: To assess the impact of winery wastewater (WW) on biological sand filter (BSF) bacterial community structures, and to evaluate whether BSFs can constitute alternative and valuable treatment-processes to remediate WW. ...
INPPO actions and recognition as a driving force for progress in plant proteomics: Change of guard, INPPO update, and upcoming activities
(Wiley, 2013)
The International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO) is a non-profit organization whose members are scientists involved or interested in plant proteomics. Since the publication of the first INPPO highlights in 2012, ...
One-pot synthesis and characterization of InP/ZnSe semiconductor nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2013)
We report on the one-pot synthesis of InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) using a precursor-based colloidal synthesis in a noncoordinating solvent environment. The structural and optical studies were carried out on the as-prepared ...
Association analysis of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the RELN gene with autism in the South African population
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2013)
BACKGROUND: Autism (MIM209850) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a triad of impairments, namely impairment in social interaction, impaired communication skills, and restrictive and repetitive behavior. A ...
Nitric oxide affects salt-induced changes in free amino acid levels in maize
(Elsevier, 2013)
It was assumed that salt-induced redox changes affect amino acid metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.),
and
this influence may be modified by NO. The applied NaCl treatment reduced the fresh weight of shoots
and roots. This ...
Capacity to control oxidative stress-induced caspase-like activity determines the level of tolerance to salt stress in two contrasting maize genotypes
(Springer, 2013)
The response of two maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes, named GR (salt-tolerant) and SK (salt-sensitive), to salt stress (150 mM NaCl) was investigated under controlled environmental growth conditions. Genotype SK experienced ...
