Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification 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 · 8,095 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermination of the Salivary Anti-Phenolic Glycolipid-1 Antibody in Leprosy Patients as a Tool to Monitoring MultidrugtherapyN. L.B. Bonfitto, A. C.F. Motta, R. B. Furini et al.Problem statement: The upper airways has a great importance as a route of M. leprae infection and because of the possibility of identifying relevant tools by systematic patient evaluation, the detection of leprosy patients by means of salivary markers becomes important. The aim of this study was to analyze anti-phenolic glycolipid 1 (anti-PGL-1) salivary and serum titers as parameters for … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,117 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInhibition of Sphingolipid Biosynthesis in Cultured Cells Enhances the Oligosaccharide Production from Exogenous Artifical SubstrateTomohisa Kato, Maria Carmelita Z. Kasuya, Kenichi HatanakaThe effect of fumonisin B1 which is an inhibitor of ceramide synthesis on saccharide elongation of dodecyl β-lactoside (Lac-C12), which is the analogue of lactosyl ceramide (LacCer), in mouse melanoma B16 cells and African green-monkey kidney (Vero) cells was examined. By adding fumonisin B1 in the culture medium used for glycosylation of Lac-C12, mouse melanoma B16 cells synthesized GM3-type analogue … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,669 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Efficient Production of Oligosaccharides by a Reaction using Whole Mammalian Cells as BiocatalystsTomohisa Kato, Rie Mitsumori, Kenichi HatanakaProblem statement: Mammalian cells were used for the production of oligosaccharides by saccharide primer method. However, because cells in culture are used, productivity of oligosaccharides is low. Approach: In saccharide primer method employing cells under culture, glycosylation was performed only by mixing the collected cells in reaction mixtures. Saccharide primer, 12-azidododecyl β-lactoside that mimics lactosylceramide (LacCer), was incubated with various … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,439 accessesView PDF Cite
