TL;DR: The presence of L-cysteine in the medium was useful for induction of cell growth and the presence of ferrous sulfate and ferric gallate dramatically enhanced BMP yield as compared with ferric quinate, an iron chelate conventionally used.

TL;DR: Although major metabolic pathways were shared with nonoleaginous diatoms, transcriptome analysis revealed unique expression patterns, such as concomitant upregulation of fatty acid/triacylglycerol biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation (β-oxidation) in concert with ATP production, which may inspire novel biofuel production technology based on this oleaginous microalga.

TL;DR: Mononuclear cells from peripheral blood were separated using BacMPs expressing protein A on the BacMP membrane surface (protein A-BacMPs), which were complexed with the Fc fragment of anti-mouse IgG antibody to show the capability of colony formation as hematopoietic stem cells.

TL;DR: From the identification and characterization of several surface and transmembrane magnetosome proteins, it is postulated that magnetosomes are derived from the cytoplasmic membrane (CM), and a comparative proteomic analysis of the MM and CM of the magnetotactic bacterium, Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB‐1, suggests that the MM isderived from the CM.

TL;DR: The results indicated that the C-terminal region of the Mms6 protein has significant control over the morphology of magnetite crystals in the chemical synthetic method, and this method can, therefore, be useful as an alternative method of controlling the size and morphology of magnetsite crystals under ambient conditions.
