Phenolic Imidazole Derivatives with Dual Antioxidant/Antifungal Activity: Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship.
Ana Paula Bettencourt,Marián Castro,João Pedro Silva,Francisco M. Fernandes,Olga P. Coutinho,Maria João Sousa,Maria Fernanda Proença,Filipe Areias +7 more
TL;DR: Four novel compounds presented dual antioxidant/antifungal activity at concentrations that are not toxic to bacteria and fibroblasts and the active molecules can be used as an inspiration for further studies in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved gene disruption method for Torulaspora delbrueckii
TL;DR: An improved strategy to obtain deletion mutants in baker's yeast Torulaspora delbrueckii, one of the most abundant non-Saccharomyces species, present in home-made corn and rye bread dough is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Plasma Membrane at the Cornerstone Between Flexibility and Adaptability: Implications for Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a Cell Factory.
TL;DR: An overview of membrane engineering strategies applied to Saccharomyces cerevisiae to enhance its fitness under industrially relevant conditions as well as strategies to increase microbial production of the metabolites of interest can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Squaraine Dyes Derived from Indolenine and Benzo[e]indole as Potential Fluorescent Probes for HSA Detection and Antifungal Agents
Vanessa S Gomes,João Canas Ferreira,Renato E. Boto,Paulo Almeida,José R. Fernandes,Maria João Sousa,M. Sameiro T. Gonçalves,Lucinda V. Reis +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, four squaraine dyes derived from 2,3,3]-trimethylindolenine and 1,1,2−1H−benzo[e]indole with different combinations of barbituric groups attach to the central ring, having ester groups and alkyl chains in the nitrogen atoms of heterocyclic rings were synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Torulaspora delbrueckii Phenotypic and Metabolic Profiling towards Its Biotechnological Exploitation
Flávia Silva-Sousa,Ticiana Fernandes,F. Pereira,Diana Rodrigues,Teresa Rito,Carole Camarasa,Ricardo Franco-Duarte,Maria João Sousa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , a set of 40 Torulaspora delbrueckii strains, of varied geographical and technological origins, was gathered in order to characterize the phenotypic behavior of this species, focusing on different parameters of biotechnological interest.
