Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are considered a prospective packaging material to partially replace petroleumbased plastics attributed to their renewability, sustainability, biodegradability, and desirable attributes including transparency, oxygen, and oil ...
Glucose is the primary fuel for the brain; its metabolism is linked with cerebral function. Different magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques are available to assess glucose metabolism, providing complementary information. Our first aim was to inv ...
The main aim of this study was to assess conditions at which simple yeast-based model organism produces maximal levels of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) after an exogenous administration of its precursor, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and the ferrous-ion chelator ...
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG), the monomer of the world's second most abundant biopolymer chitin, has been for the first time converted to its corresponding amide/amino substituted sugar alcohols, smaller C2-4 polyols and N-acetylmonoethanolamine (NMEA), ov ...
Face to the increasing demand for energy, the declining availability of fossil fuels and the periodical tensions in the geopolitical context of oil-producing countries have raised serious concerns in the governments worldwide as well as in the public opini ...
The objective of this thesis was to characterize the growth stoichiometry, the specific recombinant protein productivity and the regulation of the alcohol oxidase (AOX) enzyme of a Pichia pastoris Mut+ strain, performing conventional chemostat cultures and ...
