Putrescine N-methyltransferase (PMT, EC 2.1.1.53) catalyses the first specific step in the biosynthesis of tropane and nicotine alkaloids. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) contains neither nicotine nor the medicinal tropane alkaloids hyoscyamine or scopolamine, but calystegines. They are nortropane
Harvesting microalgae presents a challenge in selecting the most economical method for low cost algal bioproducts. Previous studies have shown coagulation-flocculation to be the most efficient method for large scale microalgae harvesting. This study focused on modifying native potato starch with
During the first four months of 2000, mature fruit of clementine cvs. Clemenules and Hernandina, mandarin cvs. Ortanique and Fortune, and orange cv. Navelina from several packinghouses located in Valencia Province were affected by a soft, watery, colorless or very light brown decay. The incidence of
A possible approach for altering alkaloid biosynthesis in plants is the expression of genes encoding key enzymes of a pathway such as lysine decarboxylase (ldc) in transgenic plants. Two strategies were followed here: one focused on expression of the gene in the cytoplasm, the other on subsequent
A sensitive (0.01-1 nmol) method has been developed for the analysis of polyamines in higher plant extracts based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of their benzoyl derivatives (Redmond, Tseng 1979 J Chromatogr 170: 479-481). Putrescine, cadaverine, agmatine, spermidine, spermine, and
The study aimed at determining the effect of protein type and indigestible carbohydrates on the concentration of microbial metabolites in the large intestine of pigs. The experiment involved 36 pigs (15 kg initial body weight) divided into six groups, fed cereal-based diets with highly digestible
