In this study, the removal and kinetics of Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and Trichloroethene (TCE) microbial degradation, their inhibitory effects and the rate of dehalogenation capacity at high concentration of PCE were investigated.Materials and Methods: Dechlorinating culture was provided by Bioclear B.V. from a PCE-contaminated site (Evenblij in Hoogeveen -The Netherlands). The batch apparatuses were placed in an orbital shaker at 150 rpm at room temperature. In all the 18 batches, 6 different concentrations of PCE were measured from 0.1 mM to 0.6 mM. The degradation rate of PCE, Trichloroethene (TCE), and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) were determined by the PHREEQC model.Results: The results revealed that the final product was ethene and the rate of dechlorinating of PCE increased gradually. The degradation process started after 3 days in batch modes (0.1 mM). After 10 days, the dechlorination of PCE to TCE was obtained in a low concentration of PCE (0.1 mM). Also, the TCE concentration became close to zero after 10 days. However, the start point was longer than PCE and the rate of biodegradation of TCE was faster than PCE. PCE did not show any progress in the dechlorinating procedure at 13th and 14th batch series and none of the daughter products were observed.Conclusions: It should be concluded that there was no single organism that could dechlorinate PCE to ethene, directly. Therefore, the best consortium of microorganisms to dechlorinate PCE to ethene faster, with less production of VC as the most hazardous compound, should be studied.","PeriodicalId":14945,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biotechnology Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42310758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In mammals, there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells that break away from the blastocyst cell proliferation, and adult stem cells that are found in different tissues. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that are one of the most important adult stem cells. Due to their high proliferative capacity and the proper self-renewal ability, they have provided a powerful and promising source to use in the field of repair plaque. Also, MSCs can differentiate into several cell types, such as: osteoblasts (adipocytes), chondrocytes (chondrocytes), adipocytes (adipocytes) and myocytes (muscle cells). Because of the importance of MSCs as a source of autologous transplantation in the field of regenerative medicine, in depth studies of involved cell and molecular signaling cycles are needed. These cycles are the reason in which these cells are able to differentiate into other cell types. Also, the molecular changes that occur during these cells differentiation are needed to be closely examined. The role of cytokines, chemokines, and transcription factors on the process of differentiation of these cells is considered significant. The differentiation of MSCs into other cell lines is manipulated and stimulated by specific transcription factors associated with specific cell lines, thus, the important role of non-coding small mRNAs (miRNAs) is increased as a result. In the following study, the process of differentiation of MSCs into the chondrogenic lineage and the effect of several miRNAs on the regulation of the process of differentiation into adipose-derived stem cell cartilage have been scrutinized.","PeriodicalId":14945,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biotechnology Reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44131898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research examined the ability of Zymomonas mobilis for producing bioethanol from Pomegranate peel.Materials and Methods: The hydrothermal treatment method and enzymatic hydrolysis were used to release the fermentable sugars from PP particles. Cellulase loading of 30 U/g solid was used for enzymatic hydrolysis. Zymomonas mobilis PTCC 1718 was used as the ethanol-producing strain. The Response Surface Methodology experimental design was performed to optimize the fermentation process conditions for maximum ethanol production and minimum fermentation time.Results: The amount of sugar released after hydrolysis was about 18.37% of the fresh PP weight. The amount of meat peptone and yeast extract (as nitrogen sources added to the medium), bacterial dry weight (as inoculum) and fermentation time were considered as the effective factors in the RSM experimental design. The maximum amount of 0.218 g ethanol was produced at 0.37 g meat peptone, 0.28 g yeast extract, 0.021 g bacterial dry weight and 30 h fermentation time (in 50 ml of culture medium). The maximum ethanol production yield of 45.5% (which is 89.2% of the theoretical yield) was achieved in this process.Conclusions: Z. mobilis has good ability for producing bioethanol from PP.

MET is highly toxic to humans via oral exposure and mainly affects the liver tissue. It actually induces toxicity through overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) leading to oxidative stress with subsequent destruction of lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.Materials and MethodsVarious plant extracts have been primarily screened for their antioxidant activities by measuring the free radical scavenging ability. Later, the plant extract with the highest antioxidant efficacy has been further formulated into a nanosuspension and the antioxidative effect has also been investigated against MET. Additionally, liver, kidney, and heart function biomarkers, liver tissue oxidative stress parameters, and total antioxidant capacity were assessed. Moreover, RT-PCR was applied to measure the Nrf2 expression.ResultsThe antioxidant screening data showed that balanites extract (BLT, Balanites aegyptiaca) had the most potent antioxidant activity. Besides, BLT showed dose-dependent improvement in liver, heart, and kidney functions in experimental mice treated with MET. The antioxidant biomarkers in liver tissue and total antioxidant capacity were elevated as compared to the MET-treated group. Furthermore, BLT significantly ameliorated MET-induced toxicity via the induction of Nrf2 and MET hepatic clearance. This study suggests the potential use of BLT extract as a natural antioxidant for the safe management of MET-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress.ConclusionsBased on the presented data in this study, it can be concluded that BLT or BLT-NS can be used as a safe drug for methomyl toxicity.","PeriodicalId":14945,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biotechnology Reports","volume":"8 1","pages":"263-274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49637182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this study were to clone and characterize a thermostable Endo-β-1,4-glucanase enzyme of Bacillus subtilis DR-8806 obtained from water samples from Dig Rostam, a hot mineral spring in Kerman, Iran. Materials and Methods: Endo-β-1,4-glucanase gene from a thermostable Bacillus subtilis bacterium was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant proteins of the expression cell were tested by western blotting analysis. The enzymatic activity of the recombinant endoglucanase was measured using dinitrosalicylic acid method and carboxymethyl cellulose as substrate. Bioinformatics analysis was done to characterize domain organization and protein family through Pfam search server and PROSITE. Results: Based on 16S ribosomal RNA sequence analysis, Bacillus is characterized and named as Bacillus subtilis DR-8806. Western blot analysis verified the recombinant endoglucanase by detecting a specific band of ~55kDa. Amino acid homology analysis of the protein showed 99% homology with that of endoglucanase from Bacillus subtilis. The optimum temperature for enzyme reaction was attained at a temperature of 55°C. The cellulolytic activity of Endo-β-1,4-glucanase protein determined 8.5 IU ml-1. It showed that endoglucanase amino acid sequence contains a glycosyl hydrolase family 5, linker domain, and a cellulose-binding type 3 domain. The GH5 domain also contained a glycosyl hydrolase catalytic core. Conclusions: It is possible to consider the purified Endo-β-1,4-glucanase of B. Subtilis DR-8806 as an efficient cellulose producer.
