Potential impact of biopolymers (ε-polylysine and/or pectin) on gastrointestinal fate of foods: In vitro study.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)

Lopez-Pena CL, Song M, Xiao H, Decker EA, McClements DJ.
PMID: 28455062
Food Res Int. 2015 Oct;76:769-776. doi: 10.1016/j.foodres.2015.06.036. Epub 2015 Jul 17.

Food-grade biopolymers, such as proteins and polysaccharides, may impact the gastrointestinal fate of foods through various mechanisms. In this study, we examined the influence of ε-polylysine (an antimicrobial) and pectin (a thickening agent) on the behavior of a standard...

Polysaccharide Fabrication Platforms and Biocompatibility Assessment as Candidate Wound Dressing Materials.

Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland)

Aduba DC, Yang H.
PMID: 28952482
Bioengineering (Basel). 2017 Jan 18;4(1). doi: 10.3390/bioengineering4010001.

Wound dressings are critical for wound care because they provide a physical barrier between the injury site and outside environment, preventing further damage or infection. Wound dressings also manage and even encourage the wound healing process for proper recovery....

Biological applications of second harmonic imaging.

Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy dates back to 1974, but effective biological use of the technique has a history of barely 10 years. It is now widely used to image collagen in many different applications, and is becoming useful...

Network reconstruction and systems analysis of plant cell wall deconstruction by .

Biotechnology for biofuels

Samal A, Craig JP, Coradetti ST, Benz JP, Eddy JA, Price ND, Glass NL.
PMID: 28947916
Biotechnol Biofuels. 2017 Sep 21;10:225. doi: 10.1186/s13068-017-0901-2. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Plant biomass degradation by fungal-derived enzymes is rapidly expanding in economic importance as a clean and efficient source for biofuels. The ability to rationally engineer filamentous fungi would facilitate biotechnological applications for degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides....

Synthesis and characterization of regioselectively substituted curdlan hetero esters via an unexpected acyl migration.

Carbohydrate polymers

Chien CY, Enomoto-Rogers Y, Takemura A, Iwata T.
PMID: 27702533
Carbohydr Polym. 2017 Jan 02;155:440-447. doi: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2016.08.067. Epub 2016 Aug 30.

Regioselectively substituted curdlan esters were synthesized by protecting the C6 primary hydroxyl group with a triphenylmethyl group followed by the acylation of the secondary hydroxyl groups at C2 and C4. The subsequent detritylation of C6 trityl group under acidic...

Unraveling the Fecal Microbiota and Metagenomic Functional Capacity Associated with Feed Efficiency in Pigs.

Frontiers in microbiology

Yang H, Huang X, Fang S, He M, Zhao Y, Wu Z, Yang M, Zhang Z, Chen C, Huang L.

Front Microbiol. 2017 Aug 15;8:1555. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.01555. eCollection 2017.

Gut microbiota plays fundamental roles in energy harvest, nutrient digestion, and intestinal health, especially in processing indigestible components of polysaccharides in diet. Unraveling the microbial taxa and functional capacity of gut microbiome associated with feed efficiency can provide important...

Non-invasive identification of organic materials in historical stringed musical instruments by reflection infrared spectroscopy: a methodological approach.

Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry

Invernizzi C, Daveri A, Vagnini M, Malagodi M.
PMID: 28341985
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2017 May;409(13):3281-3288. doi: 10.1007/s00216-017-0296-8. Epub 2017 Mar 24.

The analysis of historical musical instruments is becoming more relevant and the interest is increasingly moving toward the non-invasive reflection FTIR spectroscopy, especially for the analysis of varnishes. In this work, a specific infrared reflectance spectral library of organic...

Vibrio tapetis, the Causative Agent of Brown Ring Disease, Forms Biofilms with Spherical Components.

Frontiers in microbiology

Rodrigues S, Paillard C, Le Pennec G, Dufour A, Bazire A.
PMID: 26696991
Front Microbiol. 2015 Dec 08;6:1384. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2015.01384. eCollection 2015.

Vibrio tapetis is a marine bacterium causing Brown Ring Disease (BRD) in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. V. tapetis biofilm formation remains unexplored depite the fact that it might be linked to pathogenicity. Our objectives were to characterize the...

Effect of Polysaccharides from Acanthopanax senticosus on Intestinal Mucosal Barrier of Escherichia coli Lipopolysaccharide Challenged Mice.

Asian-Australasian journal of animal sciences

Han J, Xu Y, Yang D, Yu N, Bai Z, Bian L.
PMID: 26732337
Asian-Australas J Anim Sci. 2016 Jan;29(1):134-41. doi: 10.5713/ajas.15.0534.

To investigate the role of polysaccharide from Acanthopanax senticosus (ASPS) in preventing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced intestinal injury, 18 mice (at 5 wk of age) were assigned to three groups with 6 replicates of one mouse each. Mice were administrated by...

Bacterial Exopolysaccharide mediated heavy metal removal: A Review on biosynthesis, mechanism and remediation strategies.

Biotechnology reports (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
