THE COUPSTU AND TARPQM TRANSPORTERS IN RHODOPSEUDOMONAS PALUSTRIS: REDUNDANT, PROMISCUOUS UPTAKE SYSTEMS FOR LIGNIN-DERIVED AROMATIC SUBSTRATES.

The CouPSTU and TarPQM transporters in Rhodopseudomonas palustris: redundant, promiscuous uptake systems for lignin-derived aromatic substrates.

The biodegradation of lignin, one of the most abundant carbon compounds on Earth, has important biotechnological applications in the derivation of useful products from lignocellulosic wastes.The purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris is able to grow photoheterotrophically under anaerobic conditions on a range of phenylpropeneoid

Eccentric Cycling Training Improves Erythrocyte Antioxidant and Oxygen Releasing Capacity Associated with Enhanced Anaerobic Glycolysis and Intracellular Acidosis

The antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes protects individuals against the harmful effects of oxidative stress.Despite improved hemodynamic efficiency, the effect of eccentric cycling training (ECT) on erythrocyte antioxidative capacity remains unclear.This study investigates how ECT affects erythrocyte antioxidative capacity and metabolism in seden

Specific protease mutation patterns are associated with oropharyngeal candidiasis in a New Orleans patient cohort of HIV-infected individuals

HIV-1 protease gene sequences were obtained from peripheral blood, saliva or Boombox oral tissues of 35 HIV+ patients using nested amplification and manual sequencing of PCR products.Of the 35 HIV+ patients 9 had clinical oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) while 26 did not, and only 4 patients were on protease inhibitor (PI) therapy.These patients wer
