Cold-Shock Response and Adaptation to Near-Freezing Temperature in Cold-Adapted Yeasts

TL;DR: The responses of the yeast cell to temperature downshift to 10 °C can be categorized into three phases, and it has been shown that the cold-induced accumulation of trehalose, glycerol, and HSPs plays a crucial role in protecting the yeast cells against freeze injury.

Fatty Acids of Chthonomonas calidirosea, of a Novel Class Chthonomonadetes from a Recently Described Phylum Armatimonadetes

TL;DR: Hydrogenation of X in acetic acid resulted in formation of straight chain 17:0, 5- methyl- and 6-methyl-16:0 fatty acid methyl esters, thus confirming the structure of a novel 5,6-methylene hexadecanoic acid.

Effect of a purification step and the type of internal standard used on fatty acid determination of grass and maize silages.

TL;DR: The fatty acid (FA) analysis of grass and maize silages was studied by application of a direct transesterification method (DT) followed by purification by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and the choice of the internal standard (IS) for quantification of FA by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC).

Structure determination of disease associated peak AAA from l-Tryptophan implicated in the eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome.

TL;DR: It is determined that Peak AAA is in fact two structurally related isomers, and Peak AAA2 was determined to be a condensation product of L-Trp with decanoic acid, which produced (S)-2-amino-3-(2-((E)-dec-1-en- 1-yl)-1H-indol-3-yl)propanoic Acid.

Fatty acid and polar lipid composition in the classification of Cellulomonas, Oerskovia and related taxa

TL;DR: Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography showed that almost identical and very characteristic polar lipid patterns were given by all the organisms under study: the only major components were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosph atidylinositol and two phospho-glycolipids chromatographing similarly to, but distinguishable from, the mono- and diacyl phosphatidolinositols characteristic of Nocardia and other actinomycetes.

Lipids in the Classification and Identification of Coryneform Bacteria Containing Peptidoglycans Based on 2, 4-diaminobutyric Acid

TL;DR: The results of the present study indicate that lipid markers may be of considerable value in the classification and identification of 2, 4-diaminobutyric acid-containing phytopathogenic and saprophytic coryneform bacteria.
