TL;DR: The crustin-like AMP was found to be constitutively expressed in the animal and a significant down-regulation could be noted post-challenge WSSV, and the marine yeast, C. haemulonii and the probiotic bacteria, Bacillus were found to enhance the production of crustin like AMP and confer significant protection to P. monodon against W SSV infection.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of ultraviolet radiation from a medium pressure mercury vapor lamp and sunlight were found to be almost equally effective in bringing about the depolymerization and hydroxylation of natural rubber.
Abstract: Photochemical degradation of natural rubber yielded hydroxyl-terminated liquid natural rubber (HTNR) when carried out in solution in presence of H2O2. Ultraviolet radiation from a medium pressure mercury vapor lamp and sunlight were found to be almost equally effective in bringing about the depolymerization and hydroxylation of natural rubber. The variations in the composition of the reagents and exposure time on the extent of depolymerization was conducted, and a suitable procedure for the large scale preparation of HTNR was described. A probable mechanism leading to the formation of HTNR as well as the side products is discussed based on the analytical data.

TL;DR: Study optimized lignin degrading laccases from Marasmiellus palmivorus LA1 can be used for further applications in different scales of production after analyzing the properties of the enzyme.
Abstract: Fungal laccase has profound applications in different fields of biotechnology due to its broad specificity and high redox potential. Any successful application of the enzyme requires large scale production. As laccase production is highly dependent on medium components and cultural conditions, optimization of the same is essential for efficient product production. Production of laccase by fungal strain Marasmiellus palmivorus LA1 under solid state fermentation was optimized by the Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) methodology. An orthogonal array (L8) was designed using Qualitek-4 software to study the interactions and relative influence of the seven selected factors by one factor at a time approach. The optimum condition formulated was temperature (28 °C), pH (5), galactose (0.8%w/v), cupric sulphate (3 mM), inoculum concentration (number of mycelial agar pieces) (6Nos.) and substrate length (0.05 m). Overall yield increase of 17.6 fold was obtained after optimization. Statistical optimization leads to the elimination of an insignificant medium component ammonium dihydrogen phosphate from the process and contributes to a 1.06 fold increase in enzyme production. A final production of 667.4 ± 13 IU/mL laccase activity paves way for the application of this strain for industrial applications. Study optimized lignin degrading laccases from Marasmiellus palmivorus LA1. This laccases can thus be used for further applications in different scales of production after analyzing the properties of the enzyme. Study also confirmed the use of taguchi method for optimizations of product production.

TL;DR: A significant correlation between GSTP1 (105)Ile/(105) Ile genotype and the development of grade > or = 2 DIPN is found, which strongly suggests a role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of DIPn.
