Marine microalgae such as Isochrysis sp. and Pavlova sp. are the predominant source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n–3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n–3). EPA biosynthesis ...

In bacterial system, direct conversion of xylose to xylonic acid is mediated through NAD-dependent xylose dehydrogenase (xylB) and xylonolactonase (xylC) genes. Heterologous expression of these genes from Caulobacter ...

Major, trace, rare earth elements and 13C isotope results of sediments collected up to the depth of 150 m below ground level (m bgl) have been interpreted in relation to the provenance, weathering and deposition conditions ...

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) have huge commercial potential as additives in food, personal care and pharmaceutical formulations. The physicochemical properties, in particularly rheological behaviour of an EPS, determine its ...

The synthetically modified green fluorescent protein chromophore analogue 3,4,5-tri­meth­oxybenzyl­idene imidazolinone (1) yielded five polymorphs (I, II, III, IV, V) concomitantly irrespective of the solvent used for ...

Optical properties of π‐systems are of great significance for a wide range of applications in materials and biology. Aggregation and self‐assembly induced emission are one of such phenomena. Herein, the self‐assembly induced ...

Coconut husk is used as a natural fiber, and it is constantly gaining economic importance including in organic farming. Yet, there are major knowledge gaps regarding the engineering properties of coconut to design efficient ...

Controlled design of giant unilamellar vesicles under defined conditions has vast applications in the field of membrane and synthetic biology. Here, we bio-engineer bacterial-membrane mimicking models of controlled size ...

The utilization of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in nanotechnology is a promising area of research wherein the distinct properties of DNA are exploited for the design and development of new materials and applications. The ...

An atom-economical one-pot synthesis of a new push-pull dienaminodiones from a 3,4-dihydroxysalicylaldehyde-derived Schiff base and indoles in the presence of phenyliodine(III) diacetate is described. Variation of indoles ...
