Lipid storage in high-altitude Andean Lakes extremophiles and its mobilization under stress conditions in Rhodococcus sp. A5, a UV-resistant actinobacterium
(Springer Tokyo, 2013-03)
The production of triacylglycerols (TAG) or wax esters (WS) seems to be a widespread feature among extremophile bacteria living in high-altitude Andean Lakes (HAAL), Argentina. Twelve out of twenty bacterial strains isolated ...
Lipid and fatty acid composition of canine lipoproteins
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2001-04)
Lipid classes and their fatty acids were studied in the major lipoprotein fractions from canine, in comparison with human, plasma. In dogs, high-density-lipoprotein (HDL), the main carrier of plasma phospholipid (PL), ...
Bio-paraffin from Soybean Oil as Eco-friendly Alternative to Mineral Waxes
(American Chemical Society, 2021-04)
Blends of fully and partial hydrogenated soybean oil, with 50/50 and 80/20 wt %, were chemically interesterified. The composition-texture relationships were investigated and established for the set of investigated materials. ...
Whey as a renewable source for lipid production by Rhodococcus strains: Physiology and genomics of lactose and galactose utilization
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2016-02)
We investigated biomass and lipid production from whey by different Rhodococcus strains. The studied microorganisms exhibited different capability for growing and producing lipids from whey permeate. Strains belonging to ...
Glucosamine-P and rhodococcal ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases: A hint to (re)discover (actino)bacterial amino sugar metabolism
(Elsevier France-editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2020-09)
Glycogen was described as a temporal storage molecule in rhodococci, interconnecting lipids and carbon availability. The Rhodococcus jostii ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADP-GlcPPase) kinetic and regulatory properties ...
Triacylglycerol synthesis directed by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases −3 and −4 is required for lipid droplet formation and the modulation of the inflammatory response during macrophage to foam cell transition
(Elsevier Ireland, 2021-01)
Background and aims: The transition of macrophage to foam cells is a major hallmark of early stage atherosclerotic lesions. This process is characterized by the accumulation of large cytoplasmic lipid droplets containing ...
The influence of larval density on triacylglycerol content in Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae)
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2021-02)
Given the importance of Aedes aegypti as an arbovirus vector, understanding the impact of population density during larval development is fundamental to improve control methods. The aims of this study were to analyze the ...
Crosstalk between sterol and neutral lipid metabolism in the alga Haematococcus pluvialis exposed to light stress
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
The presence, biosynthesis and functional role of sterols in the green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis remain poorly understood. In this work we studied the effect of high-light (HL) stress on sterol synthesis in H. ...
Increasing lipid production using an NADP+-dependent malic enzyme from Rhodococcus jostii
(Society for General Microbiology, 2019-01)
The occurrence of NADP+ -dependent malic enzymes (NADP+ -MEs) in several Rhodococcus strains was analysed. The NADP+ - ME number in Rhodococcus genomes seemed to be a strain-dependent property. Total NADP+ -ME activity ...
Ces1d deficiency protects against high-sucrose diet-induced hepatic triacylglycerol accumulation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019-04)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease. Triacylglycerol accumulation in the liver is a hallmark of NAFLD. Metabolic studies have confirmed that increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis ...
