Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comprehensive Review of Traditional Antidiabetic Plants Used for Diabetes Management in South AfricaLaverdure Tchamani Piame, Constance Rusike, Yandiswa Yolanda YakoIn the wake of a global resurgence in complementary and alternative medicine, South African flora stands out for its wealth of species long employed in traditional treatments for diabetes. This review evaluates scientific advances in the anti-diabetic potential of traditional medicinal plants harvested in South Africa. Four electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and African Index Medicus) were exhaustively … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 7 Oct 2026 · 470 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Genetic Basis of Starch Biosynthesis and Waxy Allelic Variation in Rice Grain QualityInnabat Sartbayeva, Aigul Amirova, Dana Mynbaeva et al.The culinary, nutritional, and industrial properties of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains are fundamentally governed by the structural arrangement of endosperm starch, a complex physiological phenotype shaped by genetic architecture and environmental conditions. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of the molecular pathways driving starch biosynthesis in rice, centering on allelic diversity within the Waxy (Wx) locus, which codes for … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2026 · 487 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCyclodextrin Glucanotransferase Activity of Microbial Strains Isolated from Yam-Cultivation Soils in Northwestern BeninCyrille Alode Vodounon, Ténor Dias-Mendel Allode et al.β-Cyclodextrin, an industrially important oligosaccharide, is produced by microbial enzymes such as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). This study investigated ways to optimize the enzymatic activity of CGTase from Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus brevis, and Bacillus subtilis strains isolated from soils in north-western Benin. Cyclization activity of CGTase and the influence of pH, temperature, and metal ions were assessed using conventional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 674 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitric Oxide Treatment Improves the Antioxidant Capacity While Inhibiting Anthocyanin Biosynthesis of Peach Fruit (‘Xiahui-8’) During RipeningZiqi Wang, Yanyan Li, Yingling Deng et al.Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important bioactive signal molecule that plays an important role in diverse physiological processes. This study aimed to explore the effects of Nitric Oxide (NO) treatments on postharvest peach fruit. Specifically, we examined changes in quality attributes, antioxidant ability, and anthocyanin profiles during storage, given the important role of NO as a bioactive signal molecule in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,400 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Sturgeon Protein Fractions on Active Peptide Generation via Enzymatic HydrolysisMengjie Lu, Yingmei Hou, Yejing Sun et al.To identify the sturgeon protein component responsible for generating bioactive peptides, including antioxidant peptides and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) promoting peptides, sturgeon protein and its isolated protein components (sarcoplasmic, myofibrillar, and stromal proteins) were studied. Among the four isolated protein components, stromal protein demonstrated the highest susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis (P<0.05). Besides, pepsin and alkaline protease are the most effective enzymes … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 Apr 2026 · 1,430 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring the Role of Vitamin B12 as an Anti-atherogenic and Anti-inflammatory Agent in Apparently Healthy Adults With Hypovitaminosis DShravan Ajith Panchwadkar, Sudha Kuthethur, Sowndarya Kollampare, Neelam Manjunath PawarVitamin B12 deficiency is associated with metabolic changes like methyl malonic acidemia and hyperhomocystinemia eventually leading to atherosclerosis. Dyslipidemia and vitamin D (vit D) deficiency are independent risk factors of CVD. This study aims to explore the interrelationship between inflammatory markers, adverse lipid profile and vitamin B12 in hypovitaminosis D. Since, atherosclerosis is an inflammatory condition we have investigated CRP … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2025 · 3,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression and Induction Optimization of Mucor Circinelloides Lipase in Escherichia ColiYueping Yang, Yao Zhang et al.Microbial lipases serve as versatile biocatalysts for modifying lipid substrates, enabling diverse biotechnological applications spanning food technology, renewable energy production, and pharmaceutical sectors. Genomic analysis of Mucor circinelloides WJ11 revealed multiple lipase-encoding genes, with WJ_23 successfully cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. Since the lipase expression was mainly concentrated in the cell pellets, appropriate induction strategies had been investigated … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2025 · 5,987 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalt Tolerance and Cultivation Challenges of Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis): A ReviewHeba Allah Adel MohassebJojoba is considered to be salt tolerant, but little is known about the extent of its tolerance and the relative influence on ion uptake and ethylene production and other factors are affecting the mode of actions of jojoba salt tolerant.
