Expression of the alcohol dehydrogenase gene, adhE, in Escherichia coli is anaerobically regulated at both the transcriptional and the translational levels. To study the AdhE protein, the adhE(+) structural gene was cloned into expression vectors under the control of the lacZ and trp(c) promoters. Wild-type AdhE protein produced under aerobic conditions from these constructs was inactive. Const...

Antioxidants had no effect on the production of sulfur compounds, color change, and off-odor intensity of irradiated turkey breast meat, but addition of sesamol tocopherol or gallate tocopherol was effective in reducing thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance values and aldehydes, especially under aerobic conditions. Consumers preferred the color of irradiated raw and cooked meat to nonirradiate...

The microaerophilic human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of food-borne bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. During transmission through the food chain and the environment, the organism must survive stressful environmental conditions, particularly high oxygen levels. Biofilm formation has been suggested to play a role in the environmental survival of this organis...

Objective: The reasons that some of these studies have offered for aerobic training’s lack of tangible effect on the level of angiogenesis, are subjects’ readiness and the conditions of their diseases, while others have detected the intensity and the frequency of doing the aerobic trainings as the factors preventing the effectiveness of them on the level of angiogenesis. Thus, the p...

Mitomycin C (MMC) induced aerobic and hypoxic Cytotoxicity in Chinese hamster V79 cells was studied to evaluate the role of the 1electron versus 2-electron reductive bioactivation. Superoxide dismutase, catatase, and desierai had no protective effects on the aerobic or hypoxic Cytotoxicity of MMC, whereas Tempol and Tempol-H, which are known to interrupt and terminate radical reactions, provide...

Under stationary and anaerobic conditions, greater cell yields of Lactobacillus brevis were obtained from autoclaved than from filter-sterilized glucose media. Fructose, tentatively identified as a product generated by the heating process, served as an excellent catalyst for inducing growth. The addition of micromolar quantities of pentoses or potential pentose precursors to the filter-steriliz...

The cellular and molecular damage produced by mitomycin C (MMC) in Chinese hamster ovary cells, AA8-4, and a repair deficient mutant of this line, UV-20, was studied by utilizing a system in which oxygen levels could be altered and monitored in solution during acute drug exposures. The cytotoxic activity of MMC decreased from hypoxic conditions to 1% oxygen in solution, while from 1 to 20% ther...

The stereoselectivity of R,S-venlafaxine and its metabolites R,S-O-desmethylvenlafaxine, N-desmethylvenlafaxine, O,N-didesmethylvenlafaxine, N,N-didesmethylvenlafaxine and tridesmethylvenlafaxine was studied in three processes: (i) anaerobic and aerobic laboratory scale tests; (ii) six wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operating under different conditions; and (iii) a variety of wastewater tr...
