These Nanoparticles are mainly made from biodegradable, biocompatible materials such as natural polymers which include polysaccharides and proteins. For example, triptolide, which was mentioned previously to have anti-tumor activity, has a side effect of being irritating to the gastric systems. Such ...
The softness of ripening fruit can be assessed by the state of the fruit’s cell walls which mostly contain polysaccharides and enclose plant cells to create fruit’s structure and stiffness(1). According to Osorio and Fernie, fruits get softer as cell walls break down(2). Also, the starch...
No other medicinal mushroom has such a high percentage of polysaccharides –the Oriveda extracts e.g. contain between 60-70% of polysaccharides, of which over 60% are pure (1>3)(1>6)Beta-D-Glucans. These specific glucans are found in all medicinal mushrooms and according to research they...
In 2010, oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides by enzymes that today are known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) was first described by Vaaje-Kolstad et al. [1]. One of the first LPMOs appearing in the literature [2,3] originates from the chitinolytic bacteriumSerratia marcescens,...
Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic agent that causes sepsis and meningitis in pigs and humans. S. suis infections are responsible for large economic losses in pig production. The lack of effective vaccines to prevent the disease has promoted the extensive
LABs could produce heterogeneous aroma constituents, bacteriocins, and exopolysaccharides (EPS) contributing to some important characteristics, such as texture, taste, and longer shelf-life to the fermented pickles (Harutoshi, 2013, Leroy and De Vuyst, 2004, Suzuki et al., 2013). In addition, ...
For derived aquaculture sub-products, the most efficient process is recovering important biomolecules such as proteins (collagen, gelatine), polysaccharides (chitosan), lipids (omega 3) or pigments (astaxanthin or beta-carotene). Biomolecules can further be applied for human and animal consumption, ...
proteins such as porins cross the OM; these are very important for the active, passive, and selective permeability of small molecules, ions, and water [4]. Most porins have a trimeric structure and an oval shape. The bacterial porins perform many functions; indeed, they help the microorganism...
So, those phages are allowed to infect E. coli strains that have this system [71]. To overcome receptor changes phages can produce polysaccharides such as lyases or hydrolases to “shew” the adsorption obstructs [89,90]. 3.2.2. Anti-CRISPR and Anti-Abortive Infection (Abi) Systems Phages ...
Macromolecules that occur in living organisms (or are produced by living organisms) are called natural polymers [7]. A number of protein polymers (silk fibroin [21,22,23,24,25], collagen [7,26,27,28,29], elastin [29], gelatin [30]) and polysaccharides (chitosan [31,32], chondroitin ...
