The present study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of enzymatic hydrolysis of carotenoid esters from Tagetes erecta using lipases from the yeast of Yarrowia lipolytica, with the aim of obtaining free lutein. The optimal concentrations of seven nutrients, considering the production of lipases relative to biomass (Yp/x) as the response variable, were determined in flask fermentations. In...

High throughput (HT) platforms serve as a cost-efficient and rapid screening method for evaluating the effect of cell-culture conditions and screening of chemicals. We report the development of a HT cell-based microarray platform to assess the effect of culture conditions on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Specifically, growth, transgene expression and metabolism of a GS/methionine sulphoxim...

A flask is described for use in conjunction with a gas chromatograph and a spectrophotometer to follow methane and oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, and cell growth concurrently in methane-oxidizing cultures.

[reaction: see text]This letter describes a single flask strategy to the synthesis of alpha-C-glycosides from glycals. This protocol couples a glycal epoxidation reaction with a C-2 alkoxy-directed carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction.

α-Diaminoboryl carbanions, readily prepared from acetonitrile, stereoselectively convert 2-nitrobenzaldehydes into nitrophenyl (Z)-acrylonitriles. Subsequent reductive cyclization leads to a series of 2-aminoquinoline derivatives. The entire procedure is practically operated in a single flask.

abstract background involvement of lacrimal apparatus by non hodgkin lymphoma as a first manifestation is extremely rare and only three cases have been reported in children. the purpose of this report is to determine the clinical characteristic of patient with primary involvement of lacrimal apparatus with lymphoma. case presentation a 7-year-old girl with history of tearing, gradually progress...
