phenol oxidase/potato

Using analytical data from the literature the tyrosine turnover was calculated by a method published previously by us for 72 potato samples with different rates of browning. The samples included 9 varieties grown at three locations in 1969, which were analysed after harvest and after different times

Gel chromatography on Sepharose and on Sephadex was used to separate the soluble phenol oxidase in various potato juices into multiple molecular forms ranging from 36,000 to 800,000 daltons. Adjustment of potato juice from physiological pH (ca. 6) to pH 4.5 or to pH 7.8 resulted in the predominance

The soluble phenol oxidase of various potato juices (adjusted from physiological pH to pH 4.5, 7.0 and 7.8) was separated by gel chromatography into multiple molecular forms. In acid or neutral and alkaline potato juices, low-mol.-wt. (less than 150,000 daltons) or high-mol.-wt. (greater than

Tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) contain a number of chitin-binding proteins which have possible functions in defence against pathogens. A major protein of the tuber is the chitin-binding lectin which has been further characterized with respect to its antigenicity and N-terminal amino acid

Eighteen isolates from sugar beet roots associated with an unknown etiology were characterized based on observations of morphological characters, hyphal growth at 4-28 C, production of phenol oxidases and sequence analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) regions of the

Eighty-one isolates of Rhizoctonia solani AG4 were obtained from soil samples with diverse geographic origins in Korea. Forty-five out of 81 isolates (56%) contained at least one dsRNA molecule with their sizes ranging from 2.3 to > 23.1 kb. Nine different sizes of dsRNA molecules were found and

The reduction of polyphenols content in olive mill wastewater (OMW) is a major issue in olive oil manufacturing. Although researchers have pointed out the potential of white-rot fungus in dephenolizing OMW, the results available in the literature mainly concern pretreated (sterilized) OMW. This

BACKGROUND Petroleum pollution is a global disaster and there are several soil cleaning methods including bioremediation. METHODS In a field study, fugal strains were isolated from oil-contaminated sites of Arak refinery (Iran) and their growth ability was checked in potato dextrose agar (PDA) media
