Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImproved SDA Production in High Lipid Accumulating Strain of Mucor circinelloides WJ11 by Genetic ModificationJunhuan Yang, Md. Ahsanul Kabir Khan, Sergio López-García et al.Stearidonic Acid (SDA; 18:4, n-3) is a ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid which is nutritionally important and has pharmaceutical applications. Hence, scientists are trying to construct SDA producing oleaginous microorganisms by genetic modification. Two enzymes, Delta-6 Desaturase (D6D) and ω-3 desaturase catalyze the reactions to produce SDA from Linoleic Acid (LA; 18:2, n-6). But the key enzyme, ω-3 desaturase converts LA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Mar 2020 · 8,240 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy on Nutritional Value of Instant Sea Cucumber Processed by the New Processing ApproachShujing Meng, Huiyan Zhang, Jianfeng Sun, Qian LiuIn this study, the micrograph, the composition of amino acids and fatty acids were analyzed contrastively among the fresh, instant and commercial sea cucumber. The micrographs of fresh, instant and commercial sea cucumbers indicated that the processing technology of instant sea cucumber could effectively inhibit the damage of sea cucumber collagen structure and better maintain its original structure. Depending on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2017 · 9,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCocoa-Butter-Equivalent Production from Yarrowia lipolytica by Optimization of Fermentation TechnologyLina Zhao, Bo Li, Dan Xiong et al.In order to obtain the optimal control point for single-cell lipid production with fatty acid profile similar to cocoa butter, this study explored the effects of carbon source, nitrogen source, temperature, sterculic acid methyl ester, cobalt on cell growth and lipid accumulation of Yarrowia lipolytica. Glycerol and ammonium tartrate-yeast extract were chosen as carbon source and nitrogen source for production … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2016 · 9,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIdentification and Characterization of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase in Oleaginous Yeast Rhodosporidium toruloidesZhen Wang, Huaiyuan Zhang, Lina Zhao, Yuanda SongDiacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), which catalyzes TAG formation from DAG and acyl-CoA, has been considered to play a vital role in TAG accumulation in oleaginous microorganisms. The genome of oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides contains two putative DGAT genes, RtDGATa and RtDGATb, which shared little conserved amino acid coding sequence with each other. Phylogeny tree analysis showed that RtDGATa belonged to DGAT1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2016 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImplications of Method Chosen for Analysis of Fatty Acids in Meat: A ReviewLivia Facuri Araujo Macedo, Ellen Cristina Quirino Lacerda, Roberio Rodrigues Silva et al.The influence of the beef Fatty Acid (FA) profile on human health, has become a recurring concern. For an analysis of the lipid composition of food, it is necessary that the complex lipids be quantified in a suitable form for subsequent analysis of their composition by gas chromatography. The choice of appropriate methods of lipid extraction and esterification of fatty … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,633 accessesView PDFCite
