Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme plays a key role in dopamine biosynthesis in humans, rabbits, and most mammals. Rabbits, as an ideal model, were used to study the expression of the PAH gene under different feeding conditions of faba bean (Vicia faba L., Sakha 3). PAH genes (≈1,400 bp) in control and faba beanfed rabbits were PCR amplified, sequenced, and aligned with the reference gene (acc. no. 013672). The first 320 pb of PAH sequences representing the N-terminal of the gene was almost identical. High genetic similarity values were detected in PAH gene sequences for both control and faba bean-fed rabbits with the reference gene (99.80%). The results indicated very little sequence variations, which have no effect on the enzyme activity in both control and faba bean-fed rabbits. Real Time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis showed that the PAH gene was overexpressed after feeding on dry faba bean form compared with feeding on the fresh form. Furthermore, Western blotting results reflected superior PAH protein due to the direct influence of feeding on dry faba bean. In conclusion, our findings indicated the direct effect of fresh and dry faba bean diet on increasing phenylalanine amino acid in rabbits’ blood, which consequently increases the expression of PAH gene, thus improving the quality of life for humans.

For the mapping of quantitative trait loci associated with a particular trait or introgression of desirable traits into a variety from donor parent through marker-assisted backcross breeding, parental polymorphism survey is the first prerequisite. In the present study, a total of 695 simple sequence repeats (SSR) markers spanning over 20 linkage groups were surveyed for parental polymorphism in 5 parental combinations comprising 7 soybean genotypes, namely NRC151, PS1476, IC275, IC574373, AVKS215, JS20-34, and JS20-98, with varying levels of phosphatidylcholine (PC), protein, and lipoxygenase-2. Five different parental combinations, namely NRC151 × IC275, PS1476 × IC275, NRC151 × IC574373, JS20-34 × AVKS215, and JS20-98 × AVKS215, exhibited 40.43%, 43.02%, 36.26%, 39.42%, and 41.29% parental polymorphisms, respectively. Polymorphic markers identified in these parental combinations can be utilized for genotyping of second filial generation (F2)/ recombinant inbred lines (RILs) population generated for the identification of genomic regions associated with PC, protein content, and for the recovery of recurrent parent genome content of respective recurrent parent for development of lipoxygenase-2 free high-yielding soybean genotypes.

The prevalence of airborne Cladosporium was investigated for seasonal occurrence in the internal environment (bedroom) in two adjacent localities of Bengaluru. The foremost objective was to study the fungal diversity in air by culturing it on nutrient media from April 2018 to March 2019. The incidence of airborne Cladosporium species exhibited significant deviation in the localities. The sampling exhibited the highest number of Cladosporium species in the winter. Cladosporium oxysporum showed the highest prevalence, followed by Cladosporium bruhnei, Cladosporium cladosporioides, and Cladosporium herbarum. The period with a highest value of CFUs (Colony Forming Units) concentration interrelated with seasonal distribution indoor aerofungi. The current study also involved the first time molecular characterization of a new rare strain of C. bruhnei obtained from the bedroom. Using 18S rDNA sequencing, the new strain (LP3CO) was identified. The sequence was submitted to the GenBank and an accession number was established. The major fungal species identified from the bedrooms were associated with the results obtained from fungal allergen detection tests carried out on respiratory allergy patients in a major hospital in Bengaluru.

Leaf senescence is a crucial developing phase that requires the orderly disassembly of macromolecules in order to transport the nutrients from leaves into other organs and is life-threatening for plants capability. The leaf senescence is the result of a multifaceted and highly regulated mechanism involving the corresponding activities of several pathways. A lot of progress has been made recently in understanding signaling pathways of senescence, as well as how to complete the orderly process of degeneration. This paper mainly covers recent developments in the senescence of leaf and describes the function of phytohormones and essential elements from the molecular network dynamics.

GH11 xylanase from Bacillus pumilus is a monofunctional low molecular weight single polypeptide chain xylanase with biotechnological applications. The codon-optimized xynA gene was modified to replace the signaling factor with Pichia expression system. 876 bp gene was synthesized and expressed in methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris GS115. The recombinant protein was purified to apparent homogeneity by conventional protein purifications methods. The specific activity, kinetic parameters Km and Vmax, temperature optima, and pH optima of the recombinant protein were similar to the native protein. The kinetic properties of native and recombinant protein indicated structural similarities of the two. The temperature stability of the recombinant protein was higher than the native protein. The half-life (t1⁄2) at 55°C was 10.5 and 21 minutes for native and recombinant xylanase, respectively. The native GH11 xylanase had a molecular weight of 22 kDa and the recombinant protein had a higher molecular weight of 25 kDa, which could be due to glycosylation. This cloning and expression of the GH11 xylanase in P. pastoris opens the possibilities of 1) production of GH11 xylanases for industrial applications in an economical way 2) creating mutants for improved activity 3) creating mutants for improved thermal stability, and 4) desirable pH optima to meet the industrial requirements.

This paper proposes anthocyanins extraction from Peristrophe bivalvis L. Merr. (“lá cẩm”) and preservation. Experiments were performed in water as a solvent using two different extraction methods [conventional extraction (CE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE)], including different solvent-to-raw material ratios, temperatures/microwave power, and times of extraction. The total anthocyanin in the extract was analyzed by UV-Vis. Multiple regression analysis was applied to analyze the influence of factors and select the optimal parameters for each extraction process. The influence of storage conditions on the quality of extracts from “lá cẩm” leaves was controlled. It was observed that the ratio of solvent and fresh leaf used, temperature/ microwave power, and extraction time all affected the anthocyanin content recovered from the extract when using different extraction techniques. The MAE technique gave superior results compared to the CE method. The solvent used was slightly higher and the extraction time was 6.2 times shorter than that of the CE method. The optimal parameters of each extraction technique are selected. With the CE method, the solvent-to-fresh leaf ratio was 11.22:1; the optimum temperature and time were 88°C and 27.21 minutes resulting in the anthocyanin content in the extract being 25.61 mg/g dry weight basic (db). Meanwhile, with the MAE method, the solventto-fresh leaf ratio used was 10.83:1 (v/w), the microwave power and the optimal extraction time were 600 W and 4.39 minutes, and the obtained extract had an anthocyanin content of 30.97 mg/g db. In addition, the extract was best preserved in the dark and the storage temperature was −9°C. The remaining anthocyanin content after 30 days of storage was 92.35%. The anthocyanin degradation kinetics was also analyzed. Changes in total anthocyanin followed a zero-order reaction kinetic model. The potential of the half-life of anthocyanin was 221, 114, and 19 days at −9°C, 4°C, and 28°C, respectively.

This study aims to investigate the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of the leaf, stem, latex, and bark of Euphorbia neriifolia (EN) Linn. using the solvent extraction method with petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, and aqueous extracts. Total tannin content, total saponin content, total flavonoid content, total phenol content, and total flavonol content were investigated using spectrophotometric equivalents of the standards, tannic acid, quillaja, quercetin, gallic acid, and rutin, respectively. The EN extracts of various parts were screened for potential antioxidant activities by hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay (H2O2), ferric ion reducing antioxidant power assay (FRAP), 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH), metal chelation assay, nitric oxide (NO), and superoxide (SO) scavenging methods. The quantitative analysis of phytochemicals from EN revealed the presence of tannins, saponins, flavonoids, phenols, and flavonols in considerable amounts. The in vitro antioxidant assay of EN determined that the leaf, stem, latex, and bark have prominent antioxidant potential. The results showed that all the plant parts possessed antioxidant properties which were strongly correlated with the phytoconstituents. From the present study, it can be concluded that the mean content of phytochemicals in the case of EN leaf is greater than the stem, latex, and bark of the plant and this may have contributed to its great antioxidant properties. This may also justify the frequent use of the leaf more than the stem, latex, and bark in the traditional medicinal systems for the cure of bronchial infections, abdominal swellings, inflammation, pain, and tumor.

This may also justify the frequent use of the leaf more than the stem, latex, and bark in the traditional medicinal systems for the cure of bronchial infections, abdominal swellings, inflammation, pain, and tumor.","PeriodicalId":15032,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biology and Biotechnology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88817924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
