Cellulose derived from agricultural by-products as a promising stabilizer for novel food emulsions has been attracting numerous interests. In this work, defatted okara was used to extract insoluble soybean fiber (ISF) under alkaline pH (7.0-12.0). The physicochemical properties of ISF, as well as the formation and stability properties of O/W emulsi...

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental phase in the life cycle of most diatoms. Despite its role as a source of genetic variation, it is rarely reported in natural circumstances and its molecular foundations remain largely unknown. Here, we integrate independent transcriptomic datasets to prioritize genes responding to sex inducing pheromones (SIPs) ...

Heterotrophic lineages of stramenopiles exhibit enormous diversity in morphology, lifestyle, and habitat. Among them, the marine stramenopiles (MASTs) represent numerous independent lineages that are only known from environmental sequences retrieved from marine samples. The core energy metabolism characterizing these unicellular eukaryotes is poorl...

Neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS) is defined as an invasive infection that occurs in the first 72 h of life. The incidence of EOS varies from 0.5-2% live births in developed countries, up to 9.8% live births in low resource settings, generating a high mortality rate, especially in extremely low birth weight neonates. Clinical signs are nonspecific,...

In this paper, a COMSOL Multiphysics-based methodology is presented for evaluation of the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope. The established finite element analysis (FEA) model was successfully validated through a comparison with analytical and Matlab/Simulink analysis results. A simplified single-drive, 3-axis MEMS gyroscope was anal...

Automated design tools and tailored subunits are beneficial in fine-tuning all components of a complex genetic circuit. Here the authors create E. coli and B. subtilis promoter libraries using FACS and HTS, from which an online promoter design tool has been developed using CNN.

The cooking time of beans is an important quality indicator which can change considerably during ageing. Therefore, this study investigated the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy to rapidly predict cooking times of aged common beans. Four bean varieties were aged under different storage conditions, resulting in a range of samples for each of t...

The protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is the central regulator of cell growth. Aberrant mTOR signaling is linked to cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders. mTOR exerts its functions in two distinct multiprotein complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2. Here, we report a 3.2-Å resolution cryo-EM reconstruction of mTORC2. It reveals entan...

Although high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is an interesting parameter to be applied in bioprocessing, its potential is currently limited by the lack of bacterial chassis capable of surviving and maintaining homeostasis under pressure. While several efforts have been made to genetically engineer microorganisms able to grow at sublethal pressures, the...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a known food contaminant that affects a wide range of food and agricultural products. The presence of this fungal metabolite in foods poses a threat to human health. Therefore, various detection and quantification methods have been developed to determine its presence in foods. Herein, we describe a rapid and ultrasensitive tra...
