Venom and toxin samples derived from animal origins are a rich source of bioactive peptides. A high proportion of bioactive peptides that have been identified in venom contain one or more disulfide bridges, which are thought to stabilize tertiary structure, and therefore influ ...
Methanol is generally metabolized through a pathway initiated by a cobalamine-containing methanol methyltransferase by anaerobic methylotrophs (such as methanogens and acetogens), or through oxidation to formaldehyde using a methanol dehydrogenase by aerobes. Methanol is an im ...
Background: Microbial production of nitrogen containing compounds requires a high uptake flux and assimilation of the N-source (commonly ammonium), which is generally coupled with ATP consumption and negatively influences the product yield. In the industrial workhorse Saccharo ...
