Construction of a genetically modified wine yeast strain expressing the Aspergillus aculeatus rhaA gene, encoding an -L-Rhamnosidase of enological in…

Monoterpenes such as geraniol, linalool, and -terpineol present in grapes determine the varietal flavor properties of young quality wines made from Muscat varieties (for reviews, see references 19 and 21). Geraniol and linalool are considered to be the most important of the monoterpene alcohols, as they are present in greater concentrations and have lower flavor thresholds than other major wine monoterpenes. In particular, linalool is thought to be responsible for the grapelike aroma of wines produced from the Muscat variety. A large proportion of
Angiotensin II dependent cardiac remodeling in the eel Anguilla anguilla involves the NOS/NO system
2017
Angiotensin II (AngII), the principal effector of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS), plays an important role in controlling mammalian cardiac morpho-functional remodelling. In the eel Anguilla anguilla, one month administration of AngII improves cardiac performance and influences the expression and localization of molecules which regulate cell growth. To deeper investigate the morpho-functional chronic influences of AngII on the eel heart and the molecular mechanisms involved, freshwater eels (A. anguilla) were intraperitoneally injected for 2 months with AngII (1 nmol g BW-1). Then the isolated hearts were subjected to morphological and western blotting analyses, and nitrite measurements.…

Accommodative response in various design soft contact lens wearers
2021
The progression of myopia in young adults due to inadequate accommodation is currently one of the global research challenges. Studies have demonstrated that multifocal contact lenses have a different effect on accommodative response. The aim of this study was to assess the accommodative lag using various design multifocal contact lenses at different working distances. The study was conducted on 10 emmetropic subjects aged 22â28 years. An open-field autorefractor PowerRef 3 was used to assess the response of eye accommodation to stimuli placed at a distance of 25 cm and 40 cm for subjects wearing monofocal and multifocal contact lenses. To determine the effectiveness of contact lens design f…
230Th/U-dating of a late Holocene low uranium speleothem from Cuba
2010
We present 22 U-series ages for a stalagmite from north-western Cuba based on multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) and thermal ionisation mass spectrometry (TIMS). Our results reveal that the stalagmite continuously grew within the last ~1400a. Low uranium content of the sample and thus, extremely low 230Th concentrations limit the precision and accuracy of 230Th/U-dating by TIMS. Samples measured by MC-ICPMS show a high variability of 232Th content along the growth axis with some sections significantly affected by initial 230Th from a detrital phase. An a-priori bulk earth ratio for (238U/232Th) cannot be used to accurately account for this initial 230Th.…
Nuovo siero con vitamina C levogira stabilizzato con melatonina e resveratrolo. Prove di stabilità e uso clinico

Nuovo siero con vitamina C levogira stabilizzato con melatonina e resveratrolo. Prove di stabilità e uso clinico Matteo Tutino, Giuseppe Morici, L. Cavarra, Francesco Nanfitò, D. Camacaro, Vittorio Calabrese. Università di Palermo, Dipartimento di Biomedicina sperimentale e neuroscienze cliniche - Università di Catania, Dipartimento Biochimica Clinica Fino ad ora è stato difficile utilizzare la vitamina C nelle preparazioni cosmetiche a causa della sua instabilità. L’acido ascorbico infatti si ossida velocemente in seguito all’esposizione alla luce, alla temperatura e all’aria. In questo lavoro viene riportata la capacità della melatonina e del resveratrolo a stabilizzare la vitamina C levo…
Complete genome sequence of the strain Defluviitoga tunisiensis L3, isolated from a thermophilic, production-scale biogas plant.
2015
An anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium belonging to the phylum Thermotogae was isolated from a rural, thermophilic biogas plant (54 degrees C) producing methane-rich biogas from maize silage, barley, cattle and pig manure. Here we report the first complete genome sequence of the Defluviitoga tunisiensis strain L3, an isolate from the family Thermotogaceae. The strain L3 encodes several genes predicted to be involved in utilization of a large diversity of complex carbohydrates including cellobiose and xylan for the production of acetate, hydrogen (H-2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The genome sequence of D. tunisiensis L3 provides the basis for biotechnological exploitation of genetic determinants…
Cladosins L-O, new hybrid polyketides from the endophytic fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum WBS017
2019
Abstract The endophytic fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum WBS017 was obtained from healthy bulbs of Fritillaria unibracteata var. wabuensis. Fermentation of C. sphaerospermum on solid rice medium yielded three new hybrid polyketides, cladosins L−N (1–3), and a known derivative cladodionen (4). Further cultivation of this fungus on white bean medium afforded an additional new hybrid polyketide, cladosin O (5) along with three known analogues (6–8). The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using a combination of NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of compounds 2 and 3 were determined by Mosher’s method and TDDFT-ECD calculations. All isolated compounds were evaluated…
Acquatina Lagoon: a model ecosystem to study community patterns
2013
Acquatina is a small lagoon ecosystem (0.45 km2) located on the Adriatic coast only 5 km north of Lecce (Italy). The lagoon has a freshwater input in the northern part and a connection with the sea at the south edge, being characterised by a latitudinal gradient of salinity and an internal patchiness of habitats. Here, we have used the lagoons as a model to study the influence of these sources of variation on the spatial distribution of macrobenthis and fish fauna, using both taxonomic and on taxonomic descriptors. Results showed a non random distribution of both species and functional traits of macroinvertebrate and fish fauna within the lagoon, despite the relatively small surface area. S…
Halogenated (arylsulfanyl)pyridines syntheses and their derivatives by C-S and C-X couplings catalyzed by palladium complexes
2018
C–H activation of aryl compounds directed by 2-sulfonylpyridine and 2-sulfanylpyridine moiety for the formation of C–X (X = F, Cl, Br, I) bonds was studied. First, the syntheses of thioethers (2-(arylsulfanyl)pyridines) and sulfones (2-(arylsulfonyl)pyridines) were necessary for the progress of this project. A C–S coupling catalyzed by palladium complexe between thioaryls and halogenated heterocycles was performed for the synthesis of thioethers. The cheap ligand bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) was used for this convenient reaction. Then, oxidation of thioethers was performed to synthesize sulfones. Halogenation of these compounds was studied with ortho-directed C–H activation cataly…
