• Studying bacterial metabolites with mass spectrometry

  Organic compounds produced by colonies of bacteria can now be characterised using a mass-spectrometry technique that is both location specific and non-destructive. The method enables the rapid identification of metabolites from specific areas of an agar gel without affecting the viability of the col more

• Protea Biosciences Concludes New Technology License Agreement

  ProteaBio Europe SAS announced that the company has concluded an exclusive, worldwide license agreement with George Washington University for commercial rights to a new technology that provides rapid identification of a broad range of chemicals and biomolecules. Known as Laser Ablation Electrospray more

• Knowing when poultry goes foul

  Mom's trusty nose may be good, but researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have gone her one better by designing an instrument that quickly and precisely sniffs trace amounts of chemical compounds that indicate poultry spoilage without damaging the product itself. Th more

• ORAC Assay Performed on the POLARstar Omega and PHERAstar FS microplate reader
  

  In all oxygen consuming cells, metabolism and oxidative stress generate several intermediates and byproducts that are collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are necessary intermediates in the human body, but they are also involved in the aging process and in the development of many degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herein we describe the determination of the antioxidant capacity of different fruit juices using the ORAC assay; a standardized method that uses Trolox®, a water-soluble analogue of vitamin E, as a standard substance more

Publications Lipids

• Enhanced microbial oil production by activated sludge microorganisms via co‐fermentation of glucose and xylose

  Abstract The co‐fermentation of glucose and xylose by activated sludge microorganisms for the production of microbial oils for use as biodiesel feedstock was investigated. Various substrate types at initial concentration of 60 g/L and C:N ratio 70 were investigated: xylose, glucose, and 2:1 and more

• Incorporation of Ubiquinone in Supported Lipid Bilayers on ITO

  Ubiquinone (UQ) is one of the main electron and proton shuttle molecules in biological systems, and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is one of the most used model lipids. Supported planar bilayers (SPBs) are extensively accepted as biological model membranes. In this study, SPBs have been depos more

• Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. and T. turgidum L. ssp. durum) Kernel Hardness: II. Implications for End‐Product Quality and Role of Puroindolines Therein

  Abstract  Wheat kernel hardness is a major quality characteristic used in classifying wheat cultivars. Differences in endosperm texture among Triticum aestivum L. or between T. aestivum and T. turgidum L. ssp. durum cultivars profoundly affect their milling behavior, the properties of the obtain more
