Chamoun Emanuelli, Ana M (2014-08-06)Hepatitis C virus (HCV), Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) are pathogenic viruses known to cause liver disorder, acquired immunodeficiency and skin lesions, respectively. Although current ...
-
Jaladi, Tejasvi (2016-08-05)Biocatalysts have been increasingly targeted to produce bio-fuels, pharmaceuticals and synthetic and natural chemicals due to a rising interest in sustainability and safety. The use of biocatalysts can eliminate the need ...
-
Wu, Haoran (2018-11-29)The carboxylate platform is a biomass-to-energy process that converts biomass into hydrocarbon fuels or chemicals. The mixed-acid fermentation is the essential unit of the process that uses mixed cultures of microorganisms ...
-
Yang, Kefan (2017-05-10)The carboxylate platform is one of three recognized processes (sugar, thermochemical, and carboxylate) that converts biomass into chemicals and hydrocarbon fuels. One example of the carboxylate platform is the MixAlco ...
-
Cheng, Clint (2022-04-11)The gut microbiota has been recognized for influencing human health and immune homeostasis, with metabolites being a biochemical mediator of these functions. The immune-modulatory effects of microbially-derived tryptophan ...
-
Godara, Avinash (2021-04-06)Adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) is a powerful tool used to increase strain fitness in the presence of environmental stressors. Apart from growth improvement, ALE can also be used for improving productivity if production ...
-
Gerich, Matthew 1991- (2012-04-20)Ethylene is one of the most important and commonly used chemicals. Production of ethylene from a renewable resource would greatly reduce the amount of petroleum used in chemical processing. This would be a great help to ...
-
Guiza-Arguello, Viviana R. (2013-07-17)The basic principle of tissue engineering is the combination of appropriate cells with biomaterials under conditions that promote and lead to tissue formation. A tissue engineering scaffold is a material that supports cells ...
-
Desessa, Melanie Rose (2018-07-25)Terpenes are an important and diverse group of chemicals used in many industries, including nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, alternative fuels, and personal care products. In yeast, the natural mevalonate pathway provides ...
-
Ramirez, Miguel Angel (2013-11-26)Inteins are proteins encoded within a precursor gene that excise themselves after translation and ligate the surrounding proteins with a peptide bond. Since their discovery two decades ago, many inteins have been engineered ...
-
Hegde, Manjunath (2012-02-14)Cell-cell communication between bacteria, belonging to the same species or to different species (Intra-kingdom signaling), or communication between bacteria and their animal host (Inter-kingdom signaling) is mediated through ...
-
Kohli, Nandita (2017-05-05)The microbial community present in the gastrointestinal tract is an important component of the host defense against pathogen infections. Prior work from our lab demonstrated that indole, a microbial metabolite of tryptophan, ...
-
Klemashevich, Cory Lee (2016-12-07)The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is colonized by ~10^14 bacteria belonging to ~1,000 species that are collectively termed the intestinal microbiota. Recent studies show that the intestinal microbiota impacts a wide ...
-
Mann, Angelica (2013-02-04)Chemical and biological contaminants can enter a drinking water distribution system through one of the many access points to the network and can spread quickly affecting a very large area. This is of great concern, and ...
