Actinomycetes are Gram-positive filamentous bacteria well known for the production of bioactive compounds. Recently, many halophilic habitats have been explored isolation actinomycetes that exhibit biotechnological potentials. In this investigation, a saline habitat Rajasthan, Sambhar Salt Lake (SSL) was selected to study population and Carboxy Methyl Cellulase (CMCase) by native isolates. A to...

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3) plays a vital role in the enhancement of human health, particularly for cognitive, neurological, and visual functions. Marine microalgae, such as members of the genus Aurantiochytrium, are rich in DHA and represent a promising source of omega-3 fatty acids. In this study, levels of glucose, yeast extract, sodium glutamate and sea salt were optimized for enha...

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an enzyme which catalyzes the oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to protoporphyrin IX in yeast cells, has been found in several mammalian tissues. It has been extracted from rat liver mitochondria by sonication in the presence of salt and detergent and partially purified. The enzyme is similar in many respects to yeast protoporphyrinogen oxidase. Based on its behavio...

Salinity affects large areas of agricultural land, and all major crop species are intolerant to high levels of sodium ions. The principal route for Na(+) uptake into plant cells remains to be identified. Non-selective ion channels and high-affinity potassium transporters have emerged as potential pathways for Na(+) entry. A third candidate for Na(+) transport into plant cells is a low-affinity ...

3', 5'-Bisphosphate nucleotidase is a ubiquitous enzyme that converts 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphate to adenosine-5'-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. These enzymes are highly sensitive to sodium and lithium and, thus, perform a crucial rate-limiting metabolic step during salt stress in yeast. Recently, we have identified a bisphosphate nucleotidase gene (DHAL2) from the halotolerant yeast D...

Osmanthus fragrans Lour. is a popular and traditional Chinese decorative plant. Salinity one of the major abiotic stresses affecting growth development O. fragrans. However, involvement SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-like (SPL) gene in salt stress response little understood. To elucidate role OfSPL genes resistance, we isolated candidate gene, OfSPL11, from genotype ‘Yanhong Gui’. OfSPL11 tr...

Rad51 protein promotes homologous recombination in eukaryotes. Recombination activities are activated by Rad51 filament assembly on ssDNA. Previous studies of yeast Rad51 showed that His352 occupies an important position at the filament interface, where it could relay signals between subunits and active sites. To investigate, we characterized yeast Rad51 H352A and H352Y mutants, and solved the ...

In Taiwan, adult hyperuricemia affects as many 1 in 4 males and 6 females, who are predominantly young adults aged 19–45. this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with tolerance, bile salt tolerance high affinity to intestinal cells were extracted from the side products of alcohol fermentation (distillers’ grains). These evaluated for their ability lower uric levels. Qualitative identification qu...

Following a blood meal, the mosquito Aedes aegypti will have acquired an enormous sodium load that must be rapidly excreted to restore ion homeostasis. It is a process that demands robust sodium and fluid transport capabilities. Even though the identities of the components involved in this ion transport across the mosquito Malpighian tubule epithelia have not been completely determined, electro...
