Transcriptional profiling and inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in human T lymphocyte cells by the marine toxin azaspiracid.

Michael J Twiner et al.

Genomics, 91(3), 289-300 (2008-01-15)

Azaspiracid-1 (AZA-1) is a marine biotoxin reported to accumulate in shellfish from several countries, including eastern Canada, Morocco, and much of western Europe, and is frequently associated with severe gastrointestinal human intoxication. As the mechanism of action of AZA-1 is

Quantification of volatile fatty acids from cattle manure via non-catalytic esterification for odour indication.

Sang-Ryong Lee et al.

The Science of the total environment, 610-611, 992-996 (2017-08-26)

This report proposes a new approach to evaluate the odour nuisance of cattle manure samples from three different cattle breeds (i.e., native cattle, beef cattle, and milk cow) by means of quantification and speciation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs). To

Effect of Brij 58 on the hydrolysis of methyl butyrate by lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens.

A Nakagawa et al.

Journal of biochemistry, 96(3), 815-820 (1984-09-01)

Purified Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase [EC 3.1.1.3] exhibited slight activity on water-soluble esters such as methyl butyrate, and this activity was increased on addition of Brij 58 (20 oxyethylene hexadecyl ether) to the solution. This stimulating effect of Brij 58 on
