The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize a trehalose-synthesizing enzyme from Euglena gracilis Klebs. After purification by anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, isoelectric focusing, and native ...

A systematic study is presented of the effects of trehalose on the physical properties of extruded DPPC–cholesterol unilamellar vesicles. Particular emphasis is placed on examining how the interactions present in the ...

Trehalose is a disaccharide with a wide range of applications in the food industry. We recently proposed a strategy for trehalose production based on a Corynebacterium glutamicum strain expressing the Escherichia coli ...

Trehalose is a quantitatively important compatible solute and stress protectant in many organisms, including green algae and primitive plants. These functions have largely been replaced by sucrose in vascular plants, and ...

In this work, computer simulation methods were applied to investigate glucose-derived carbohydrates in solution at atomistic resolution. The carbohydrates considered were: trehalose and cyclodextrins. The disaccharide ...

Trehalose metabolism is essential for normal growth and development in higher plants. It is synthesized in a two-step pathway catalyzed by trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6P) synthase (TPS) and trehalose phosphatase. Arabidopsis ...

The performance of formulations for citral encapsulation by spray drying was assessed. Focus was put on the emulsions properties and stability. Formulations contained sucrose or trehalose with or without maltodextrin and ...

Although vertebrates cannot synthesize the natural disaccharide trehalose, exogenous administration of trehalose to mammalian cells may be beneficial for protein misfolding disorders. In this issue, DeBosch et al. show ...

Trehalose has many potential applications in biotechnology and the food industry due to its protective effect against environmental stress. Our work explores microbiological production methods based on the capacity of ...
