The Brassica napus gene, Cel16, encodes a membrane-anchored endo-1,4-beta-glucanase with a deduced molecular mass of 69 kD. As for other membrane-anchored endo-1,4-beta-glucanases, Cel16 consists of a predicted intracellular, charged N terminus (methionine(1)-lysine(70)), a hydrophobic transmembrane domain (isoleucine(71)-valine(93)), and a periplasmic catalytic core (lysine(94)-proline(621)). ...

A busca por custo x benefício na avicultura envolve compreender como melhorar o desempenho animal através da alimentação ao mesmo tempo em que haja diminuição dos custos. Tendo vista crescente aumento monetário matéria prima ração, várias pesquisas se voltam para novas fontes energéticas derivados de plantas, contem quantidades significativas fibras e agem fatores antinutricionais, interferindo...

The impact of beta-glucan molecular weight (MW) on in vitro bile-acid binding and in vitro fermentation with human fecal flora was evaluated. beta-Glucan extracted from oat line 'N979-5-4' was treated with lichenase (1,3-1,4-beta-D-glucanase) to yield high (6.87x10(5) g/mol), medium (3.71x10(5) g/mol), and low (1.56x10(5) g/mol) MW fractions. The low MW beta-glucan bound more bile acid than did...

In [l], we proved a criterion for the disjointness of two induced representations UL and UM of a Lie group G, where L and M are finite-dimensional unitary representations of compact subgroups H and R, respectively, of G. The purpose of this paper is to improve this theorem by getting a stronger conclusion, while dropping the conditions that G be a Lie group and H be compact, and that L and M he...

0. Introduction. Let G be a locally compact Abelian group, and G* its group of (continuous) characters. We write (y, x) to indicate the function on G*XG which is the value of the character y EG* at the point *6G, or, dually, the value of the character xEG at the point y EG*. Borel sets in G are taken to be the smallest cr-algebra of sets containing all closed sets. We consider the set of all re...

AIM This study aims to produce and assay cellulolytic enzyme activity (endo-(1,4)-β-D-glucanase, exo-(1,4)-β-D-glucanase, and β-glucosidase, at optimum temperature and optimum pH) of Enterobacter cloacae WPL 214 isolated from bovine rumen fluid waste of Surabaya Abbatoir, Indonesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS To produce enzyme from a single colony of E. cloacae WPL 214, 98 × 10(10) CFU/ml of isola...
