The effects of micro-aeration on the phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms in a thermophilic anaerobic municipal solid-waste digester.
TL;DR: Comparing the microbial communities in a thermophilic MSW digester without aeration and with micro-aeration revealed that microorganisms belonging to the domain Bacteria dominated in the digester both without aerations and withmicro-aerations, and bacteria affiliated with the phylum Firmicutes were dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Ni2+ and Co2+ on methanogenic activity and the amounts of coenzymes involved in methanogenesis
Kenji Kida,Toru Shigematsu,Junji Kijima,Masami Numaguchi,Yoshitaka Mochinaga,Naoki Abe,Shigeru Morimura +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Ni2+ and Co2+ were required for the methane-producing reactions via increases of coenzymes F430 and corrinoids.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCR-mediated seamless gene deletion and marker recycling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Rinji Akada,Takao Kitagawa,Shohei Kaneko,Daiso Toyonaga,Sachiko Ito,Yoshito Kakihara,Hisashi Hoshida,Shigeru Morimura,Akihiko Kondo,Kenji Kida +9 more
TL;DR: A novel marker recycling procedure that leaves no scar in the genome is described, which is designated seamless gene deletion and achieved via a PCR fragment that consisted of a URA3 marker attached to a 40 base repeat‐generating sequence flanked by HIS3 targeting sequences at both ends.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of chitosan-caffeic acid derivatives and evaluation of their antioxidant activities.
TL;DR: Water-soluble chitosan and caffeic acid derivatives were obtained by this study without activity loss and the maximum IC₅₀ of radical-scavenging activity was observed at the highest caffeic Acid containing derivative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial community analysis of mesophilic anaerobic protein degradation process using bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fed continuous cultivation
TL;DR: Two mesophilic anaerobic chemostats were supplied with synthetic wastewater containing bovine serum albumin as the sole carbon and energy source in order to study the capacity of protein degradation, microbial community structure and the effects of the addition of trace metals.
