Algal biorefinery process utilizes every component of algal biomass to produce multiple useful fuel products. In this technique, acid pretreatment of algal biomass hydrolyzes microalgal carbohydrates into fermentable sugars, makes lipids more extractable and a protein part accessible for additional products. In the present study, Chlorella sorkiniana produced higher quantity of biodiesel than B...

corrosion makes huge economic and ecologic damage all over the world. biologic corrosion of sewer pipes is considered as a serious limitation in economic perspectives. to prevent biologic corrosive damage, lining techniques can be applied by materials and aggregate resistant to attack bacterially in sewer pipes. the role of bacteria is that they convert sulfur compounds into sulfuric acid which...

PURPOSE Triptolide is a major component of the herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f, extracts of which are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and it has been found to possess immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties. Viral infection of the cornea can lead to corneal ulceration and perforation as a result of collagen degradation in the corneal stroma. We have now examined the effect o...

A comprehensive range of 14 synthetically simple, air-stable, and structurally diverse Fe(III) complexes, comprising salalen, salen, salan, thiolen frameworks, were applied as catalysts to the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) phthalic anhydride (PA) cyclohexene oxide (CHO) without need for extra additives, such co-catalysts, part a newly discovered unary system. Alternating poly(1,2-cycloh...

In the wake of RNA virus infections, dsRNA intermediates are often generated. These viral pathogen-associated molecular patterns can be sensed by a growing number of host cell cytosolic proteins and TLR3, which contribute to the induction of antiviral defenses. Recent evidence indicates that melanoma differentiation-associated gene-5 is the prominent host component mediating IFN production afte...

Ccr4 is a major cytoplasmic deadenylase involved in mRNA poly(A) tail shortening in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have previously shown that Ccr4 negatively regulates expression of LRG1 mRNA encoding a GTPase-activating protein for the small GTPase Rho1, a component of cell wall integrity pathway, and deletion of LRG1 suppresses the temperature-sensitive growth defect of the ccr4Δ mutant. We hav...
