Succinic acid is a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid produced as one of the fermentation products of anaerobic metabolism. Based on the complete genome sequence of a capnophilic succinic acid-producing rumen bacterium, Mannheimia succiniciproducens, gene knockout studies were carried out to understand its anaerobic fermentative metabolism and consequently to develop a metabolically engineered strai...

Efficient kinetic resolution processes continue to play a critical role in asymmetric synthesis.1 Using two chiral reagents to effect two parallel running enantioselective resolution reactions, Vedejs and co-workers demonstrated that, through minimizing a buildup of the less reactive enantiomer by simultaneously consuming both enantiomers of the racemic starting material, the two resolution rea...

Herein, a novel polypropylene/polyurethane rubber (PP/PUR) was prepared based on thermoplastics vulcanizates (TPV)/layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposite in the presence of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylsuccinic anhydride (SSA) intercalated LDH (SSA-LDH). The effect SSA-LDH explored thermo-mechanical, thermal, morphological, rheological, and mechanical properties as well gel content, compressio...

There have recently been much advances in the production of succinic acid, an important four-carbon dicarboxylic acid for many industrial applications, by fermentation of several natural and engineered bacterial strains. Mannheimia succiniciproducens MBEL55E isolated from bovine rumen is able to produce succinic acid with high efficiency, but also produces acetic, formic and lactic acids just l...

Functional foods have received considerable attention due to their numerous health benefits. Lion's mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus) is a functional food source that contains bioactive compounds of medicinal importance. The main aim this study was explore antimicrobial and anticancer activities identify H. erinaceus mycelia cultivated on mixed red white jasmine rice (HMR) with the aid solid-s...
