This study aimed to investigate the effects of galacto-oligogalactose (GOS) glycosylation on structural and functional properties fish gelatin (FG). Results showed that with increase time, grafting degree browning increased, new protein bands increased molecular weight were observed by SDS-PAGE. Structural analysis reduced intrinsic fluorescence intensity surface hydrophobicity FG. FTIR α-helix...

Adding prebiotics or probiotics to infant formula to improve the intestinal flora of formula-fed infants is considered to be a major innovation. Several companies have brought relevant formulations onto the market. However, comparative data on the effects of pre- and probiotics on the intestinal microflora of infants are not available. The present study aimed to compare the effects of infant fo...

The cyanobacterium Synechococcus leopoliensis (Anacystis nidulans, strain L 1402-1) grown at 39 °C and 2 vol. % CO: could be synchronized by a light/dark regime o f 3:5 h (white light intensity 1 .5 x l0 4 erg cm 2 s e c '1). Content of pigments (chlorophyll a. phycocyanin and carotenoids), R N A and proteins increased linearly up to 100% at the end of the light period while D N A synthesis was...

PURPOSE The direct effects of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), including Vivinal® GOS syrup (VGOS) and purified Vivinal® GOS (PGOS), on the epithelial integrity and corresponding interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) release were examined in a Caco-2 cell model for intestinal barrier dysfunction. To investigate structure-activity relationships, the effects of individual DP fractions of VGOS were evaluated....

Context. Within the framework of the HERM33ES key program, we are studying the star forming interstellar medium in the nearby, metal-poor spiral galaxy M 33, exploiting the high resolution and sensitivity of Herschel. Aims. We use PACS and SPIRE maps at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 μm wavelength, to study the variation of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with galacto-centric distance. Me...
