Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConversion of Mutton Fat to Cocoa Butter Equivalent by Increasing the Unsaturated Fatty Acids at the Sn-2 Position of Triacylglycerol Through Fermentation by Yarrowia LipolyticaDan Xiong, Huaiyuan Zhang, Yifang Xie et al.Mutton fat has a similar fatty acid profile with Cocoa Butter (CB), except that its degree of unsaturation of Triacylglycerol (TAG) at the Sn-2 position is considerably lower than CB and maybe increased by Sn-2 specific lipase to produce Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE), a healthy functional lipid. However, there is no commercially available Sn-2 specific lipase that can be used … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2015 · 8,703 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,468 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Thyme, Clove and Cinnamon Essential Oils on Candida Albicans and Moulds Isolated from Different SourcesI.A. Radwan, A.H. Abed, M.R. Abeer et al.In this study, mycological examination were conducted on different samples from human, animals and poultry in El-Fayoum and Beni-Suef governorates, Egypt in the period from January to June 2013. The antifungal activities of thyme, clove and cinnamon oils against the recovered fungal isolates were tested using agar dilution method. A total of 209 samples were collected (including vaginal swabs from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 26 Dec 2014 · 10,503 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVED PREDICTION FOR MEDIUM OPTIMIZATION USING FACTORIAL SCREENING FOR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY SCHIZOCHYTRIUM SP. SW1Vidyah Manikan, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Mohd Hafez Mohd Isa, Aidil Abdul HamidDocosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that plays major role in human health. It is typically extracted from fatty fish and this puts pressure on global fish stock. DHA obtained from fish is also prone to contamination. Schizochytrium is a potential alternative source, having the ability of accumulating considerable amounts of DHA. Modification of medium components and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2014 · 7,845 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pseudozyma hubeiensis Y10BS025 as a Potent Producer of Glycolipid Biosurfactant Mannosylerythritol lipidsMartha Sari, Atit Kanti, I. Made Artika, Wien KusharyotoMannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL’s) are glycolipid biosurfactants that contain 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a hydrophilic moiety and fatty acids as a hydrophobic moiety. MEL’s are abundantly produced by several kinds of microorganism and are one of the most promising biosurfactants currently known. The search for a novel endogenous producer of MEL’s was undertaken based on the available collection of the yeast strains from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 8,103 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosorption of Ternary Cadmium, Nickel and Cobalt Ions from Aqueous Solution onto Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cells: Batch and Column StudiesMaedeh Galedar, Habibollah YounesiThe aim of this study was to remove cadmium, nickel and cobalt ions from aqueous solutions using yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, pre-treated with ethanol. The cells are immobilized using polysulfone in both batch and continuous systems. To optimize the adsorption capacity of the yeast biomass, a batch system was used to investigate the effects of initial pH, initial biomass dose and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 7,954 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Microbial Inoculants on Feeding Value of Spent Lentinula edodes SubstrateYunfu Gu, Min Yi, Jianzhou Chen, Xiaoping ZhangSawdust-based Spent Lentinula Edodes Substrate (SLES) is an important agricultural waste resource for its’ huge production amount, on the other hand, it is hard to recycling because of the low digestibility. For the purpose of recycling the SLES, a study was conducted to improve the feeding values of SLES via microbial inoculation. The SLES was ensiled with 0.5% (v/w) Lactic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 7,915 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Some Fermentation Parameters on Ethanol Production from Beet Molasses by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAIM13Awatif Abid Al-JudaibiProblem Statement: Some component of fermentation medium showed to reduce the Saccharomyces cerivisae production of ethanol. Approach: This study was designed to evaluate the role of some fermentation parameters in affecting ethanol productivity from beet molasses BM by Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAIM13. Results: Increase in cell concentration (inoculums size) of the yeast above 3.6×105 cells/100 mL decreased the ethanol yield. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2011 · 8,924 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioethanol Production from Rice StrawNutawan Yoswathana, Phattayawadee Phuriphipat, Pattranit Treyawutthiwat, Mohammad Naghi EshtiaghiProblem statement: Rice straw has been treated with different chemical (acid, alkali) and physical (subcritical water, ultrasound) methods to convert lignocellulose material to sugar. In addition enzyme treatment of pretreated samples has been applied to improve the conversion of lignocellulose material in sugar. Approach: Sulfuric acid at concentration of 1-9% was applied for acid treatment. For alkali treatment was sodium … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 18,065 accessesView PDF Cite
