Open AccessThe BCL-2 family protein BCL-RAMBO interacts and cooperates with GRP75 to promote its apoptosis signaling pathway
The BCL-2 family protein BCL-RAMBO, also known as BCL2-like 13, anchors at the outer mitochondrial membrane and regulates apoptosis, mitochondrial fragmentation, and mitophagy. However, the mechanisms underlyi...

Construction of bioengineered yeast platform for direct bioethanol production from alginate and mannitol
Brown macroalgae are a sustainable and promising source for bioethanol production because they are abundant in ocean ecosystems and contain negligible quantities of lignin. Brown macroalgae contain cellulose, ...

In situ enumeration and localization of the probiotic Pediococcus sp. strain Ab1 in the gut of abalone Haliotis gigantea
In this study, we established an optimized fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) protocol for detecting and enumerating host-derived probiotic Pediococcus sp. strain Ab1 cells in the gut of abalone. Samples w...

Modulation of gut microbiota associated with abalone Haliotis gigantea by dietary administration of host-derived Pediococcus sp. Ab1
In the present study, we evaluated how dietary administration of host-derived Pediococcus sp. Ab1 has an effect on the abalone gut microbiota using a culture-dependent method and 16S rRNA gene library analysis. T...

Colonization and probiotic effects of lactic acid bacteria in the gut of the abalone Haliotis gigantea
Strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from several different sources and evaluated in vitro for potential probiotic effects in abalones. Two isolates (Lactobacillus sp. strain a3 and Enterococcus sp...

Molecular cloning and cytochemical analysis of exopolygalacturonase from carrot
Exopolygalacturonase (exo-PGase, EC 3.2.1.67) attacks the non-reducing terminus of the polygalacturonic acid in pectic molecules, releasing galacturonic acid. We cloned the cDNA of exo-P...

Molar excess heat capacities and volumes for mixtures of benzonitrile with cyclohexane between 10 and 45°C
The heat capacities and volumes for binary mixtures of benzonitrile with cyclohexane were determined at 10, 25, and 45°C. The dependence of the molar excess heat capacities on temperature and composition are i...

Thermodynamics of aqueous solutions of nonelectrolytes. I. Enthalpies of transfer of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone from water to aqueous methanol
Molar excess enthalpies were measured for 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone mixed with water and with methanol over the whole concentration range and with aqueous methanol at the low mole fraction of 1-methyl-2-pyrroli...
