Pleurotus ostreatus is a widely cultivated edible fungus in China. Green mold disease of P. ostreatus which can seriously affect yield is a common disease during cultivation. It occurs mostly after P. ostreatus mycelia have been subjected to high temperatures. However, little information is available on the relationship between high temperature and green mold disease. The aim of this study is t...

Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and are engaged in a mutualistic association with the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema and Heterorhabditis, respectively. In the present study, the organic fraction of ethyl acetate bacterial crude extracts of the symbiotic bacteria, Xenorhabdus stockiae and Photorhabdus luminescens isolated from entomopathogenic ...

The injection of neurotensin or the enkephalin analog Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-MePhe-Gly(ol) (DAMGO) into the A10 region of rats produces a motor stimulant effect that is associated with an increase in the postmortem levels of dopamine metabolites in the nucleus accumbens. These behavioral and neurochemical effects are augmented following daily administration. In vivo dialysis in the nucleus accumbens of ...

BACKGROUND Polyketides, such as spinosad, are mainly synthesized in the stationary phase of the fermentation. The synthesis of these compounds requires many primary metabolites, such as acetyl-CoA, propinyl-CoA, NADPH, and succinyl-CoA. Their synthesis is also significantly influenced by NADH/NAD+. Rex is the sensor of NADH/NAD+ redox state, whose structure is under the control of NADH/NAD+ rat...

Introduction Fast trans-membrane water exchange enables intracellular relaxation enhancement of water by contrast agents in the extracellular space. For metabolites not in fast exchange across membranes, intracellular metabolite relaxation enhancement will only occur if the contrast agent and metabolite are in the same compartment. Extracellular contrast agents may be delivered intracellularly ...

Motivation Technological advances in metabolomics have made it possible to monitor the concentration of extracellular metabolites over time. From these data, it is possible to compute the rates of uptake and excretion of the metabolites by a growing cell population, providing precious information on the functioning of intracellular metabolism. The computation of the rate of these exchange react...

Electrical high frequency stimulation (HFS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been shown to have a therapeutic effect in several movement disorders. But, debilitating psychiatric effects like depression and suicidality are occasionally seen and might be caused by the changes in the serotoninergic activity. Previous studies could show that HFS of the STN results in inhibition of the serotoner...

This paper proposes mathematical models that predict the physiology, growth behavior and productivity of hybridoma cells in both batch and fed-batch systems. Murine hybridoma 130-8F producing anti-F-glycoprotein monoclonal antibody was employed as a model system. A systematic approach based on metabolic flux analysis (MFA) was utilized to yield a dynamic model for predicting the concentration o...
