TL;DR: The selenium contents of 66 mushroom samples, wild growing or commercially available in Portugal, fresh, canned or dried, were determined and it was found that edible mushrooms, such as Lentinula edodes , Pleurotus ostreatus , Cantharellus cibarius, Craterellus cornucopioides and Lepista nuda, contained only small amounts of seenium.

TL;DR: The identified trends allow improving game understanding and helping wheelchair basketball coaches to plan accurate practice sessions and, ultimately, deciding better in competition.
Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to identify which game-related statistics discriminate winning and losing teams in men’s and women’s elite wheelchair basketball. The sample comprised all the games played during the Beijing Paralympics 2008 and the World Wheelchair Basketball Championship 2010. The game-related statistics from the official box scores were gathered and data were analysed in 2 groups: balanced games (final score differences ≤12 points) and unbalanced games (final score differences >13 points). Discriminant analysis allowed identifying the successful 2-point field-goals and free-throws, the unsuccessful 3-point field-goals and free-throws, the assists and fouls received as discriminant statistics between winning and losing teams in men’s balanced games. In women’s games, the teams were discriminated only by the successful 2-point field-goals. Linear regression analysis showed that the quality of opposition had great effects in final point differential. The field-goals percentage ...

TL;DR: This is the first time that this relevant yeast–yeast interaction is examined at a genomic level and genes involved in the uptake and biosynthesis of vitamins were enriched among those up-regulated in the single-culture fermentation.
Abstract: The introduction of yeast starter cultures consisting in a blend of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and
non-Saccharomyces yeast strains is
emerging for production of wines with improved complexity of flavor. The
rational use of this approach is, however, dependent on knowing the impact that
co-inoculation has in the physiology of S.
cerevisiae. In this work the transcriptome of S.
cerevisiae was monitored throughout a wine
fermentation, carried out in single culture or in a consortium with Hanseniaspora
guilliermondii, this being the first time
that this relevant yeast–yeast interaction is examined at a genomic
scale. Co-inoculation with H.
guilliermondii reduced the overall genome-wide transcriptional
response of S. cerevisiae throughout the
fermentation, which was attributable to a lower fermentative activity of
S. cerevisiae while in the
mixed-fermentation. Approximately 350 genes S.
cerevisiae genes were found to be differently expressed
(FDR < 0.05) in response to the presence of H.
guilliermondii in the fermentation medium. Genes involved in
biosynthesis of vitamins were enriched among those up-regulated in the
mixed-culture fermentation, while genes related with the uptake and biosynthesis
of amino acids were enriched among those more expressed in the single-culture.
The differences in the aromatic profiles of wines obtained in the single and in
the mixed-fermentations correlated with the differential expression of S. cerevisiae genes encoding enzymes required for
formation of aroma compounds. By integrating results obtained in the transcriptomic analysis
performed with physiological data our study provided, for the first time, an
integrated view into the adaptive responses of S.
cerevisiae to the challenging environment of mixed culture
fermentation. The availability of nutrients, in particular, of nitrogen and
vitamins, stands out as a factor that may determine population dynamics,
fermentative activity and by-product formation.

TL;DR: Data shows that flatfish species, Senegalese sole, despite its high dietary protein requirement, digests vegetable ingredients relatively well, opening the opportunity for the development of practical feeds with high levels of plant-protein sources.

TL;DR: Ketamine is teratogen and toxic, interfering with the normal developmental pathways of embryogenesis, suggesting that ketamine exerts an independent NMDA receptor action during the zebrafish blastula stage.
