How Hosts Taxonomy, Trophy, and Endosymbionts Shape Microbiome Diversity in Beetles.
2019
Bacterial communities play a crucial role in the biology, ecology, and evolution of multicellular organisms. In this research, the microbiome of 24 selected beetle species representing five families (Carabidae, Staphylinidae, Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae, Scarabaeidae) and three trophic guilds (carnivorous, herbivorous, detrivorous) was examined using 16S rDNA sequencing on the Illumina platform. The aim of the study was to compare diversity within and among species on various levels of organization, including evaluation of the impact of endosymbiotic bacteria. Collected data showed that beetles possess various bacterial communities and that microbiota of individuals of particular species h…
Characterization of Translationally Controlled Tumour Protein from the Sea Anemone Anemonia viridis and Transcriptome Wide Identification of Cnidaria…
2018
Gene family encoding translationally controlled tumour protein (TCTP) is defined as highly conserved among organisms; however, there is limited knowledge of non-bilateria. In this study, the first TCTP homologue from anthozoan was characterised in the Mediterranean Sea anemone, Anemonia viridis. The release of the genome sequence of Acropora digitifera, Exaiptasia pallida, Nematostella vectensis and Hydra vulgaris enabled a comprehensive study of the molecular evolution of TCTP family among cnidarians. A comparison among TCTP members from Cnidaria and Bilateria showed conserved intron exon organization, evolutionary conserved TCTP signatures and 3D protein structure. The pattern of mRNA exp…
Wild apple (Malus spp.) by-products as a source of phenolic compounds and vitamin C for food applications
2020
Abstract The phytochemical profile and positive health effects of the fruits and by-products of domesticated Malus domestica Borkh. apple cultivars have been extensively investigated. The present study was designed to evaluate the hydrophilic composition and antioxidant activity of the compounds recovered from wild apple Malus spp. by-products. The phytochemical analysis of the 30 and 96% ethanolic extracts using LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS has led to the detection and isolation of 25 hydrophilic compounds. Amongst the polyphenols, chlorogenic acid, B-type procyanidins, and phloretin-2-glucoside dominated. The results of HPLC-DPPH• radical scavenging showed that the major contributors to the antioxida…

Development of new food and pharmaceutical products: Nutraceuticals and food additives
2020
The market of nutraceuticals and foods elaborated with natural additives are constantly growing and leading researchers and professionals of pharmaceutical and food industry to develop new products and reconsider the formulation of processed food. However, these products can only be insert into the market after extensive and well-performed scientific studies that clarify the mechanisms by which bioactive compounds can improve health status beyond nutrition or can replace conventional food additives perceived as "unhealthy" or "unfamiliar" by consumers. Therefore, scientific evidence regarding the actual health benefits and preservation/enhancement of food attributes are the crucial step in …
Crustacean Hemolymph Lipoproteins
2020
Lipoproteins mediate the transport of apolar lipids in the hydrophilic environment of physiological fluids such as the vertebrate blood and the arthropod hemolymph. In this overview, we will focus on the hemolymph lipoproteins in Crustacea that have received most attention during the last years: the high density lipoprotein/β-glucan binding proteins (HDL-BGBPs), the vitellogenins (VGs), the clotting proteins (CPs) and the more recently discovered large discoidal lipoproteins (dLPs). VGs are female specific lipoproteins which supply both proteins and lipids as storage material for the oocyte for later use by the developing embryo. Unusual within the invertebrates, the crustacean yolk protein…
Veränderungen der Lipide und Fettsäurezusammensetzung im Nierengewebe der Ratte unter dem Einfluß von Rotbarschöl und Cocosfett
1971
80 mannliche Sprague-Dawley-Ratten erhielten uber 4 Wochen eine Diat mit 20% Rotbarschol. In der 5. Woche wurde anstelle des Rotbarcholes eine Diat mit 10% Cocosfett und von der 6. Woche an mit 20% Cocosfett bis zur 27. Woche gegeben. Die Kontrollgruppe erhielt eine Diat mit 4% Fett (Altromin).

Influence of temperature, copper and CO2on spore counts and geosmin production byPenicillium expansum
2012
Background and Aim: Musts and wines produced from rotten grapes often have an earthy/musty odour, with geosmin the responsible compound. Penicillium expansum is considered a potential source of geosmin in rotten grapes from vineyards treated with copper-based fungicides. Methods and Results: The laboratory study assessed the influence of temperature (10‐30°C), copper concentration (0‐76.50 mg/L) and CO 2 in the headspace (0.03‐3%) on the spore count and the production of geosmin by P. expansum according to a Doehlert design. The spore count and the production of geosmin (ng/mg biomass) were significantly correlated (r = 0.78). Copper had no significant effect on the spore count but was the …
Draft genome sequences of Vibrio vulnificus strains recovered from moribund tilapia
2021
Potentially zoonotic Vibrio vulnificus strains were isolated from vibriosis outbreaks occurring on eastern Mediterranean tilapia farms between 2016 and 2019. In this work, the draft genome sequences of three representative isolates are presented.
