Glycerol, one of the most important by-products of alcoholic fermentation, has positive effects on the sensory properties of fermented beverages. It was recently shown that the most direct approach fo...
As a valuable chemical, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) could be biosynthesized by glycerol fermentation. However, no natural microorganisms that could directly convert glucose into 1,3-PD have been found so...
Glycerol release has been generally accepted as an index of lipolysis in the intact heart. The glycerol moiety of glycerol-3-phosphate (glycerol-3-P) is incorporated into triacylglycerols, which are t...
The goal of the present study was to determine 1) whether the poor digestion and absorption of glycerol tristearate (TS) that we observed previously is due to amount fed and 2) whether the digestion, ...
The aim of this study was to investigate the process of glycerol catabolism in germinating Arabidopsis seed. A genetic screen was performed to isolate glycerol-insensitive (gli) mutant seedlings. Thre...
The glpPKD region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome was cloned in its natural host in plasmid pHP13. The glpPKD region contains genes required for glycerol catabolism: glpK coding for glycerol kinas...
Although glycerol is the primary carbon source available to halophilic heterotrophic communities, little is known regarding haloarchaeal glycerol metabolism. In this study, a gene encoding a glycerol ...
Glycerol is well known as a cryoprotectant similar to trehalose. However, there is little information about the effects of intracellular glycerol on the freeze-thaw stress tolerance of yeast. Through ...
