Nutriose, a Dextrin-based Natural Polysaccharide Polymer with Beneficial Activities as a Candidate for Future Drug Delivery: A Review
Comb Chem High Throughput Screen. 2024 Apr 5. doi: 10.2174/0113862073283113240329064552. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNutriose is a dextrin-based soluble fiber prepared from starch. Cereals such as maize, wheat, and barley are the primary sources of nutrients for commercial production. Nutriose is resistant to digestion by human enzymes in the stomach and small intestine. It is mostly undamaged when it enters the colon after traveling through the digestive tract, where it generates shortchain fatty acids (SCFAs) as byproducts. These SCFAs, which include butyrate, propionate, and acetate, have a number of health advantages...

Food Habits of Raccoon Dogs at An Agricultural Area in Shikoku, Western Japan
Zoolog Sci. 2024 Apr;41(2):185-191. doi: 10.2108/zs230051.ABSTRACTThe diet of raccoon dogs, which live in close proximity to agricultural fields in Matsuyama, western Japan, was studied throughout the year by the fecal analysis method (n = 114). Fruits were most important, accounting for 30-40% of the diet except in winter. Crops were next in importance, accounting for 10-30%. It was characteristic that the proportion of crops was greater and more stable than in other "satoyama" or rural areas in Japan. Crops included rice (Oryza sativa), wheat, sesame (Sesamum indicum), strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa), kiwi fruit (Act...

< em > Saccharomyces cerevisiae < /em > strains performing similarly during fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates show pronounced differences in transcriptional stress responses
Appl Environ Microbiol. 2024 Apr 8:e0233023. doi: 10.1128/aem.02330-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImproving our understanding of the transcriptional changes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae during fermentation of lignocellulosic hydrolysates is crucial for the creation of more efficient strains to be used in biorefineries. We performed RNA sequencing of a CEN.PK laboratory strain, two industrial strains (KE6-12 and Ethanol Red), and two wild-type isolates of the LBCM collection when cultivated anaerobically in wheat straw hydrolysate. Many of the differently expressed genes identified among the strains have previously been ...
