Abstract Bacteria produce diverse d-amino acids, which are essential components of cell wall peptidoglycan. Incorporation these acids into peptidoglycan contributes to bacterial adaptation environmental changes and threats. d-Amino have been associated with growth, biofilm formation dispersal regulation metabolism. The diversity in bacteria is primarily due the activities amino acid racemases t...

Nutritional value of freshwater mesozooplankton, fatty acid (FA) and amino acid (AA) compositions were determined in the middle of each season for a one-year period from May 2009 to February 2010 in Hanna Dam Lake, Isfahan, Iran. FA and AA composition significantly (P < 0.05) varied in relation to the seasonal changes of water quality, phytoplankton and zooplankton community. The content of sat...

This study was conducted to evaluate the carcass yield, abdominal fat deposition and chemical compositions of thigh and breast muscles of male Arian broilers fed three different lysine levels of 1) high lysine (110% NRC), 2) standard level suggested by National Research Council (NRC) and 3) low lysine (90% NRC) based on two expression ways of amino acid contents of feedstuffs, as total amino ac...

the search for new stationary phases has been one of the predominant concerns in high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) in order to achieve better resolutions, longer column lives, and reduce the time of analysis. a chromatographic packing for separation of underivatized amino acids (aas) were prepared by dynamically coating 2-amino tetraphenyl prophyrin (atpp) on a c-18 reversed-phase p...

Fish protein hydrolysates were prepared from Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) muscle using alcalase and protamex methods. By conducting the Cuttlefish protein hydrolysate using alcalase (CPHA), it showed higher degrees of hydrolysis, proximate composition, yield, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming activity index (FAI), solubility, water holding capacity (WHC) ...
