Recent research on the structure of the normal intestinal microbiota of chickens revealed the presence of Lactobacillus spp. (Lu et al., 2003; Wei et al., 2013; Waite & Tailor, 2014; Duar et al., 2017 ...

The goal for a sustainable, biobased economy has thrust biotechnology and biocatalysis into the research spotlight. Biological catalysts are already employed in a myriad of applications. Polyethylene ...

This enzyme differs from other enzymes of this class in that it is highly specific for the substrate D-lyxose, showing less than 2% activity towards mannose and other substrates reported for lyxose ...

Liver kinase B1 (LKB1), also known as serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) is the major energy sensor for cells to respond to metabolic stress. Autophagy degrades and recycles proteins, macromolecules, ...

They found that the abundances of ribose, arabinose, xylose, and lyxose ranged from 2.3 to 11 parts per billion in NWA 801 and from 6.7 to 180 parts per billion in Murchison. Since Earth is awash with ...

After as few as approximately 20 generations, evolved populations repeatedly acquired the capacity to grow on five predicted non‐native substrates—D‐lyxose, D‐2‐deoxyribose, D‐arabinose, m‐tartrate, ...

A central problem for the prebiotic synthesis of biological amino acids and nucleotides is to avoid the concomitant synthesis of undesired or irrelevant by-products. Additionally, multistep ...
