TL;DR: An Escherichia coli system containing an artificial biosynthetic pathway that yields phenylpropanoic acids, such as 4-coumaric acid, caffeic Acid, and ferulic acid, from simple carbon sources is developed and opens the possibility of microbial synthesis of more complex plant secondary metabolites derived from phenyl Propanoic acid.

TL;DR: Endoinulinase from Aspergillus ficuum, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of inulin via an endo-cleavage mode, was purified by chromatography from Novozym 230 as a starting commercial enzyme mixture on CM-Sephadex and DEAE-Sepharose and by preparative electrophoresis under native conditions.

TL;DR: A 2.3 kb DNA fragment that contains a gene encoding endoinulinase, inu2, from Aspergillus ficuum ATCC 16882 was isolated and analyzed, and alignment of amino acid sequences revealed 73.3% identity and 93.9% similarity between A. fic vacuum and Penicillium purpurogenum endoin insulinase.

TL;DR: The results suggested that rice straw was a primary source for supplement of Bacillus species in manufacturing the traditional doenjang and that some species of Bacococcus strains were mainly involved in the fermentation process of traditional doENjang.

TL;DR: DFA IV was very stable at acidic pH and high temperature, thus indicating that DFA IV may be suitable for the food industry and related areas.
