Abstract:
... Clostridium sp. LQ25 was cultured in different forms of ferric (ferric citrate and ferric hydroxide) as electron acceptors to investigate growth, ferric reduction, hydrogen production, fermentation products and fermentation process. The growth of the strain LQ25 detected by protein was 82.8 ± 2.1 mg/L and 73.5 ± 1.7 mg/L using ferric citrate and ferric hydroxide as electron acceptors, which was 33 ...
... Resistant starch (RS) has caught much attention for its potential to exert a beneficial impact on intestine and certain members of its resident microbiota. In this study, we examined how dietary RS promotes intestinal barrier in meat ducks by microbiome-metabolomics analysis. Ducklings were fed corn-soybean basal diet or RS diet. Dietary RS improved intestinal morphology and enhanced barrier funct ...

Abstract:
... Several species of novel marine bacteria from the genus Marinobacterium, including M. nitratireducens, M. sediminicola, and M. zhoushanense were found to be capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) using sugars and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as the carbon source. M. zhoushanense produced poly-3-hydroxybutytate (PHB) from sucrose, achieving a product titer and PHB content of 2.89 g/L and 6 ...

Abstract:
... Yingjia Gongjiu (YJGJ), as a strong-aroma-type baijiu, is popular among consumers due to its unique fruity flavor. However, previous research on the aroma characteristics of YJGJ mostly focused on its main aroma components, namely the esters, therefore, the present work was the first to study the aroma characteristics of YJGJ from the perspective of sulfur-containing compounds. A total of 12 sulfu ...

Abstract:
... A peculiar thermochemical phenomenon of coexistence of chemical decomposition and material softening, observed in cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and named glass chemical transition is further scrutinized. It is demonstrated that cellulose acetate (CA), also, exhibits a thermo-chemical transition and that mixed esters like CAB, may exhibit more than one thermo-chemical transitions. The DSC intens ...

Abstract:
... Wickerhamomyces anomalus makes a special contribution to the esters flavor of Chinese Baijiu. This study set out to investigate whether W. anomalus NCUF304.1 could improve the flavor of ethyl esters of Te-flavor Baijiu Jiupei (TFBJP). The days 10–30 of the Te-flavor Baijiu brewing stage was the key period for microorganisms to produce ethyl ester compounds. Among them, the content of ethyl acetate ...

Abstract:
... The flash point (FP) behaviors of two ternary blends were investigated in this study: propyl butyrate + acetic acid + 1-butanol and propyl butyrate + acetic acid + 2-pentanol. The mentioned blends contain one binary constituent with maximum FP behavior (MaxFPB) and one binary constituent with minimum FP behavior (MinFPB). The maximum and minimum FP values are not observed in the ternary constituen ...

Abstract:
... The present study is aimed to explore the effects of different dietary beta-hydroxy-beta-methyl butyrate (HMB) levels (0, 0.05%, 0.10%, or 0.15%) on liver lipid metabolism on Wenshi broiler chickens. Results showed that HMB reduced the liver weight as well as liver concentrations of triacylglycerol (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) (quadratically, p < 0.05), and the lowest values were observed in th ...

Abstract:
... 1. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) exert beneficial actions in the gut; nevertheless, information about the effect of SCFA on physiological responses in the small intestine of chickens is rare. 2. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of 1) different molar acetate:butyrate ratios (Ac:But; Experiment 1; 78.5% acetate and 7.3% butyrate versus 71.4% acetate and 14.0% butyrate) and 2) SCFA con ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Butanol is a versatile chemical that can be used as fuel, solvent or intermediate in chemical synthesis. Several strategies have been used to increase the availability of reducing power in Clostridium sp. with the aim of maximizing the production of butanol, the use of electron carriers being one of the most effective. Moreover, electrons from an external power source can be transferre ...
