Which organelle is the site of anaerobic respiration in a plant cell? Which organelle found in plant cells is responsible for converting sunlight energy into the chemical energy found in sugar molecules? Within a cell, energy released by ...
Changes in ring A of the cucurbitacins, as well as in the side chain, modified the activity. As a general trend, when chemical modifications of the basic structure produced a change in activity, the response was opposite in both insects used as biodetectors, indicating that a selective ...
Recycled nickel, manganese and cobalt metals used in the battery cell were recovered from battery waste through a low-energy hydrometallurgical treatment which involves the use of an aqueous solution to isolate the metals and separate them from impurities. Having proven the validity and efficiency of...
Mortierella alpina lives in the soil and likes to keep cool. This fungus, which belongs to the zygomycetes, grows best at temperatures of 10 to 15°C and occurs mainly in alpine or arctic habitats. ...
Because MSH1 downregulation produces cytosine methylation changes, we tested whether enhanced growth could be suppressed by chemical inhibition of DNA methylation or transmitted through grafting. A root growth assay showed a dis- proportionately greater reduction in epiF3 seedlings compared with wild type...
Plants produce a group of aldoxime metabolites that are well known as volatiles and as intermediates in cyanogenic glycoside and glucosinolate biosynthesis in particular plant families. Recently it has been demonstrated that aldoximes can also accumulate
If the conversion rate to ethanol is sufficient without pretreatment and the fermented resi- due is nutritionally sufficient for feed, it may be possible to produce bioethanol without pretreatment, which would lower costs and energy input. In a previous study, we found that silage made from whole...

Previously we have shown that a novel bioprecursor/prodrug of 17b-estradiol (called DHED by its chemical acronym) is selectively activated into 17b-estradiol only in the mammalian brain but not in the blood and peripheral tissues. Therefore, 17b-estradiol central action after systemic DHED ...
[NSLAB]) develops1. Both starter and NSLAB microorganisms contribute towards the production of flavour compounds and the physico-chemical changes that confer the desired organoleptic characteristics sought2,3. The metabolic activity of some LAB strains can, however, lead to the production of ...
