The Structure and Metabolism of Carbohydrates
1994
Compared with the variety of carbohydrates in plants, relatively few sugars or sugar derivatives are regularly found in animals either free or as components of more complex compounds. However, it is possible that sugars originating from plants in the diet are transiently retained in animals and distort the normal sugar spectrum. Approximately a dozen sugars and sugar derivatives are regularly found in animals: the pentoses d-ribose and 2-deoxy-d-ribose; the hexoses d-glucose, d-galactose, d-mannose, d-fructose and l-fucose; the uronic acids d-glucuronic acid and l-iduronic acid; and the hexosamines d-glucosamine and d-galactosamine. In addition, d-erythrose, d-ribulose, d-xylulose and d-sed…
l-Valine biosynthesis during batch and fed-batch cultivations of Corynebacterium glutamicum: Relationship between changes in bacterial growth rate an…
2007
Abstract A transition in the bacterial growth rate to below maximum was found to be an optimum parameter of cellular physiology to increase the activity of acetohydroxy acid synthase, a regulatory enzyme in l -valine synthesis, and amino acid overproduction by Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 recombinants under batch and fed-batch cultivation conditions. An increase in l -valine synthesis under transient situations when cellular growth rate was downregulated was correlated to a decrease in the activity of aconitase, a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) of C. glutamicum , and, in contrast, to an increase in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in…
Yeast interaction on Chardonnay wine composition: Impact of strain and inoculation time.
2022
Abstract It is of great importance to understand the molecular characteristics and substantial chemical transformations due to yeast-yeast interaction. Non-targeted metabolomics was used to unravel must in fermentation composition, inoculated with non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S) for sequential fermentation. ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry was able to distinguish thousands of metabolites and provides deep insights into grape must composition allowing better understanding of the yeast-yeast interactome. The dominance of S, characterized by a metabolic richness not found with NS, is dependent on inoculation time and on the yeast species present. Co-inocula…
