    Smoking habit as a risk amplifier in chronic kidney disease patients

    Several studies showed the association between non-traditional risk factors [proteinuria and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)] and cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes. Nevertheless, the etiologic...

    Deletion of cytosolic phospholipase A2 promotes striated muscle growth

    Generation of arachidonic acid by the ubiquitously expressed cytosolic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) has a fundamental role in the regulation of cellular homeostasis, inflammation and tumorigenesis. Here we report that...

    Production of chiral epoxides by an ethene-utilisingMicrococcus sp.

    An ethene-utilising bacterium was isolated in pure culture from soil and was tentatively identified as aMicrococcus sp. The organism accumulated epoxyalkanes (0.2–13 mM) from internal, terminal, cyclic and aryl-s...

    Biocatalysts for production of chiral epoxides

    A number of bacterial strains, representing a range of genera, were isolated in pure culture with ethene or propene as the sole source of carbon and energy. The organisms included Aerococcus, Alcaligenes, Microco...

    Stereoselective epoxidation of phenyl allyl ether by alkene-utilizing bacteria

    Eighteen newly isolated ethene- and propene-utilizing bacteria were screened for the ability to produce phenyl glycidyl ether, a common precursor for the synthesis of beta blockers, from phenyl allyl ether. Th...
