Photoautotrophic organisms are promising hosts for biocatalytic oxyfunctionalizations because they supply reduction equivalents as well as O2 via photosynthetic water oxidation. Thus far, research on photosynthesis-driven bioprocesses mainly focuses on strain development and the proof of principle in small-scale biocatalytic

The pathogenesis of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is poorly understood, and genes participating in the epidermal response to chemical irritants are only partly known. It is commonly accepted that different irritants have different mechanisms of action in the development of

Medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs) were produced in carbon-limited, single-stage, fed-batch fermentations of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 by co-feeding nonanoic acid (NA) and glucose (G) to enhance the yield of PHA from NA. An exponential (mu=0.25 h(-1)) followed by a linear feeding strategy

Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 74(1), 69-77 (2006-10-26)
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 grew on glucose at a specific rate of 0.48 h(-1) but accumulated almost no poly-3-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA). Subsequent nitrogen limitation on nonanoic acid resulted in the accumulation of only 27% medium-chain-length PHA (MCL-PHA). In contrast, exponential nonanoic acid-limited

So-called anti-irritants (AI) are widely used in cosmetic formulations, with the aim of reducing irritation from substances in the formulation. It may also be claimed that they are 'soothing' and 'healing' ingredients. However, the proof for these claims is circumstantial.
