  • Interactions of Trichoderma reesei exo-acting cellulases with p-aminophenyl 1-thio-β-D-cellobioside

    Creator:
    Piyachomkwan, Kuakoon
    Abstract:
    Cellulolytic enzymes capable of efficiently degrading crystalline cellulose are a complex mixture of endo- (endoglucanases) and exo-acting (cellobiohydrolases) enzymes. One approach to separating these enzymes is affinity chromatography. A new ligand, p-aminophenyl l-thio-β-D-cellobioside (APTC), is introduced for this purpose. The property of APTC in affinity chromatography is demonstrated using Trichoderma...

  • Evaluation of zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) as a model for carcinogenesis

    Creator:
    Tsai, Hsi-Wen
    Abstract:
    Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) are small, freshwater teleost fishes in the family Cyprinidae, the true minnows. They are native to the tropical latitudes of India, but have become widespread through their use as aquarium fish and as models for several branches of biological research. Their ease of rearing, short generation time,...

  • A study of antimutagenicity in yogurt

    Creator:
    Sudarshan, Nadathur R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to identify antimutagens in yogurt active against the experimental colon carcinogen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). Our initial experiments showed that acetone extracts of yogurt, or milk fermented by various lactic acid bacteria were antimutagenic against MNNG and 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) in the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium TA...

  • Utilization of lignocellulosic polysaccharides

    Creator:
    Fenske, John J.
    Abstract:
    Lignocellulosic biomass represents a vast supply of fermentable carbohydrates and functional aromatic compounds. Conversion of lignocellulosics to ethanol and other useful products would be of widespread economical and environmental benefit. Better understanding of the behavior of different lignicellulosic feedstocks in fermentation protocols as well as catalytic activities involved in lignocellulosic...
