In vitro and in vivo anti-Listeria effect of Succinoglycan Riclin through regulating MAPK/IL-6 axis and metabolic profiling.

TL;DR: Riclin caused significant metabolic changes including pathways involved in glycolysis, protein synthesis and oxidative stress during Listeria infection, suggesting a potential use of Succinoglycan Riclin as non-antibiotic preventive and therapeutic anti-microbial agent in livestock and poultry farming and human diseases.

Optimization of growth and EPS production in two Porphyridum strains

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of light at different wavelengths and varying nutrients as well as abiotic factors for exopolysaccharide induction were determined. And the results were combined in an optimized two-stage cultivation and increased EPS production by 34 times for P sordidum and by 12 times for p purpureum compared to the initial conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rheological characterization of Porphyridium sordidum and Porphyridium purpureum exopolysaccharides.

TL;DR: Both Porphyridium EPSs show a remarkable stability at high temperature and under the effect of mono- and divalent cations, and high salinity cultivation medium, which was evidenced by the rheological properties of the EPS.
