Salted Kutum roe was prepared by soaking in brine to a traditional procedure. Proximate composition (moisture, protein, lipid, pH, ash and salt content), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), fatty acid profiles and microbiological characteristics of raw and salted roe of Caspian white fish (Rutilus frisii kutum) were determined. The results indicated that protein and moisture contents were si...

BACKGROUND Most of the haloarchaeal strains have been isolated from hypersaline environments such as solar evaporation ponds, salt lakes, or salt deposits, and they, with some exceptions, lyse or lose viability in very low-salt concentrations. There are no salty environments suitable for the growth of haloarchaea in Japan. Although Natrialba asiatica and Haloarcula japonica were isolated many y...

The following results were obtained when we investigated the viable bacterial count, lactic acid bacteria gram-negative and yeast count in traditional Japanese fermented sushi, conducted a microbiological study of microbiota. For nine types pH was 3.62±0.01 to 4.75±0.02 salt concentration 1.57±0.06 5.90±0.12%. between 4.61±0.11 8.86±0.06 log CFU/g 5.89±0.02 8.99±0.05 CFU/g. ranged below detecti...

four halotolerant fungal isolates originating from the saltwater lake urmia in iran were selected during a screening program for salt resistance and α-amylase activity. the isolates were identified based on sequencing the its region and a part of the β-tubulin gene, as penicillium chrysogenum (isolate u1; cbs 132820), fusarium incarnatum (isolate u2; cbs 132821), and penicillium polonicum (isol...

background: glutathione (gsh) is a non-protein thiol compound, which plays an important role in the response to oxidative stress and nutritional stress. the aim of this study was to isolate indigenous s. cerevisiae strains capable of effectively produce gsh. methods: one hundred-twenty sweet fruit samples were collected. the strains were isolated on yeast glucose chloramphenicol (ygc) agar medi...

I have selected salt-tolerant cell lines from salt-sensitive cell cultures to identify genes that can contribute to longt e m increased salt tolerance in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Comparisons of differential gene expression in response to salt within the same genetic background allowed me to identify gene products that showed salt-induced expression in those cells with acquired salt toleran...
