Heterologous protein expression often faces significant challenges, particularly when the target protein has posttranslational modifications, is toxic, or is prone to misfolding. These issues can result in low expression levels, aggregation, or even...
An eight-week trial was designed to study the effects of arginine (Arg) supplemented diets on the growth, immunity, antioxidant activity, and oxygen-carrying capacity of juvenile Gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio). A total of 300 fish (27.53 &plu...
Sorghum distillers grains (SDGs) produced from a sorghum liquor company were used for generating biohydrogen via dark fermentation at pH 4.5–6.5 and 55 °C with a batch test, and the biohydrogen electricity generation potential was evaluated...
(1) Background: Kiwifruit is a globally valued fruit. Its industrial processing produces a substantial amount of waste, particularly peels, which present an appealing potential source of bioactive compounds. This study focuses on optimizing the extra...
Cannabis sativa plants have been widely investigated for their specific compounds with medicinal properties. These bioactive compounds exert preventive and curative effects on non-communicable and infectious diseases. However, C. sativa extracts have...
The white poplar (Populus alba) is a dioecious woody plant with significant potential for the phytoremediation of soils. To realize this potential, it is necessary to utilize growth-promoting microorganisms. One potential source of such beneficial mi...
As aquaculture production grows, so does the demand for quality and cost-effective protein sources. The cost of fishmeal (FM) has increased over the years, leading to increased production costs for formulated aquafeed. Soybean meal (SBM) is commonly...
Biomanufacturing enables novel sources of compounds with constant demand, such as food coloring and preservatives, as well as new compounds with peak demand, such as diagnostics and vaccines. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for alterna...
The livestock sector, essential for maintaining food supply and security, encounters numerous obstacles as a result of climate change. Rising global populations exacerbate competition for natural resources, affecting feed quality and availability, he...
To date, the only probiotic yeast with evidence of health-promoting effects is Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii. The expanded market including dietary supplements and functional foods supplemented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boular...
Honey’s many bioactive compounds have been utilized historically to cure infectious diseases. Beneficial effects are its antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-stimulating qualities. The bee species, geographic loc...
Sialic acid is a diverse group of monosaccharides often found on the termini of N- and O-linked glycans as well as being components of glycoconjugates. Hypersialylation has been associated with the progression of chronic inflammation-mediated disease...
Advances in genome editing technology have made it possible to create genome-edited (GE) animals, which are useful for identifying isolated genes and producing models of human diseases within a short period of time. The production of GE animals mainl...
Numerous natural extracts and compounds have been evaluated for their ability to mitigate the adverse effects of ultraviolet (UV) overexposure. However, variability in the UV doses that trigger biological responses across studies likely arises from i...
The production of microbial proteins (MPs) has emerged as a critical focus in biotechnology, driven by the need for sustainable and scalable alternatives to traditional protein sources. This study investigates the efficacy of two experimental setups...
Six solvent fractions isolated from flower bud and leaf ethanolic extracts of Cleistocalyx operculatus were analyzed for their phytochemical contents, including phenolics, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and alkaloids. Antioxidant activities were meas...
Cadherin−catenin cell−cell adhesion complexes, composed of cadherin, β-catenin or plakoglobin, and α-catenin (α-cat) molecules, are crucial for maintaining cell−cell contact and are commonly referred to as “ad...
The synthesis of enantiomeric forms of D-amino acids can be achieved by a two-step “hydantoinase process” based on the sequential catalysis of substrates by specific enzymes, D-carbamoylase and D-hydantoinase. Here, we describe the struct...
In Tunisia, the date industry generates a large quantity of waste, raising environmental concerns. However, dates are rich in sugars, which offer a renewable source of nutrients for various applications. In this study, sugar extraction from two low-g...
Currently, starter cultures for fermenting plant-based beverages are not widely available commercially, but producers can use starter cultures for dairy products. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the physicochemical, rheological, ant...
