Inter-Conversion of carbohydrate reserves from pollen maturation to rehydration in a chili pepper
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-06)
Carbohydrate metabolism is critical for male fertility. Carbohydrate reserves (soluble sugars and starch) were quantified in three advanced stages of pollen development, from the final maturation to rehydration, in a chili ...
Characterization of a glucose- and solvent-tolerant extracellular tannase from Aspergillus phoenicis
(2013-01-01)
Tannases have attracted wider attention because of their biotechnological potential, especially enzymes from filamentous fungi and other microorganisms. However, the biodiversity of these microorganisms has been poorly ...
Expanding the knowledge on lignocellulolytic and redox enzymes of worker and soldier castes from the lower termite Coptotermes gestroi
(2016-10-13)
Termites are considered one of the most efficient decomposers of lignocelluloses on Earth due to their ability to produce, along with its microbial symbionts, a repertoire of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Recently, ...
Carbohydrate metabolization in late stages in the recalcitrant pollen of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.)
(Wiley, 2015-05)
Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) pollen is starchy, sucrose-poor and recalcitrant, features opposite to those of several model species; therefore, some differences in carbohydrate metabolism could be expected in this species. ...
Control of amylase production and growth characteristics of Aspergillus ochraceus
(2002-01-01)
The growth and the extracellular amylase production by Aspergillus ochraceus were studied in a stationary culture medium. Maximum growth rate of this fungus was found after 5 days of incubation at 30° C, but maximum amylase ...
Extracellular β-fructofuranosidase from Fusarium graminearum: Stability of the spray-dried enzyme in the presence of different carbohydrates
(2013-10-16)
Microbial enzymes have been used for various biotechnological applications; however, enzyme stabilization remains a challenge for industries and needs to be considered. This study describes the effects of spray-drying ...
Activity of digestive enzymes in chicken's small intestine and caeca: Effect of dietary protein and carbohydrate content
(Academic Journals Inc, 2014-06)
Digestion is a mediating factor between the animals and their environment, one of the variables related to the efficiency in extracting energy from nutrients is rate of hydrolysis. Phylogenetical and functional hypothesis ...
Increased reliance on carbohydrates for aerobic exercise in highland andean leaf-eared mice, but not in highland lima leaf-eared mice
(MDPI, 2021)
Exercise is an important performance trait in mammals and variation in aerobic capacity and/or substrate allocation during submaximal exercise may be important for survival at high altitude. Comparisons between lowland and ...
Effect of fasting on carbohydrate metabolism in frugivorous bats (Artibeus lituratus and Artibeus jamaicensis)
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-03-01)
The compensatory changes of carbohydrate metabolism induced by fasting were investigated in frugivorous bats, Artibeus lituratus and Artibeus jamaicensis. For this purpose, plasma levels of glucose and lactate, liver and ...
Dietary carbohydrate and food processing affect the digestive physiology of Piaractus mesopotamicus
(2016-08-01)
The responses of the digestive physiology of juvenile pacu to different diet processing were studied. Fish were fed with isoproteic diets with 260 g kg−1 of crude protein (CP) containing different levels of carbohydrate ...
