In this study, the fed-batch fermentation technique was applied to improve the yield of L-threonine produced by Escherichia coli TRFC. Various fermentation substrates and conditions were investigated to identify the optimal carbon source, its concentration and C/N ratio in the production of L-threonine. Sucrose was found to be the optimal initial carbon source and its optimal concentration was ...

Mucin 2 (MUC2) is the structural component of the intestinal protective mucus layer, which contains high amounts of threonine in its peptide backbone. MUC2 synthesis rate might be a potential parameter for intestinal barrier function. In this study, we aimed to determine whether systemic threonine was used for small intestinal MUC2 synthesis and to calculate the MUC2 fractional synthetic rate (...

The title compound, DL-threonine-arsenic acid (1/1), C4H9NO3.H3AsO4, is an unusual adduct containing zwitterionic threonine and neutral arsenic acid molecules. The component species interact by way of N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to parallel [001] chains of threonine and arsenic acid molecules which are crosslinked by further O-H...O and N-H...O bonds, resulting in a three-dimens...

A suppression of the growth rate of rats upon addition of proteins or protein hydrolysates containing little or no tryptophan to 9 per cent casein diets supplemented with cystine has been repeatedly demonstrated (l-5). This effect can be duplicated by adding 0.078 per cent threonine or 0.208 per cent phenylalanine to such diets (6). With 1.5 mg. per cent of niacin or 50 mg. per cent of tryptoph...
