Alterations in seed reserves of Dalbergia nigra ((Vell.) Fr All. ex Benth.) dur...

Seed imbibitions is the first stage of the germination process and is characterized by the hydration of tissues and cells and the activation and/or induction of the enzymes responsible for mobilizing reserves for respiration and the construction of new cell structures. The objective of this study was to investigate the alterations in reserve substances during slow hydration of Bahia Rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) s...

Physiological changes during hydration of dalbergia nigra ((vell.) Fr. All. ex ...

During germination, a series of sequential events occur in seeds in response to endogenous and / or exogenous factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the physiological changes resulting from the controlled hydration in water and temperature in seeds of jacaranda-da-bahia (Dalbergia nigra). To this end, two lots of seeds separated as high and low vigor were used in the tests. Seeds belonging to t...

Activities of α-galactosidase and polygalacturonase during hydration of Dalberg...

Germination is a process that begins with seed water uptake, stimulating enzyme synthesis or activating enzymes already present. The objective of this study was to evaluate variations in monosaccharide reserves and the activities of the α-galactosidase and polygalacturonase enzymes during the hydration of two lots of Dalbergia nigra (Bahia Rosewood) seeds. Seeds from different origins constituted the two lots I...

Enzymatic activity during germination of Melanoxylon brauna schott at different...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the oxidative metabolism through the activity of the enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalase (CAT) in the embryonic axis and micropylar endosperm of Melanoxylon brauna Schott seeds during germination. The seeds were sown in paper rolls germitest moistened with distilled water and subjected to constant...

Purification and characterization of an a-galactosidase from Aspergillus fumigatus

O fungo termofílico Aspergillus fumigatus secreta as enzimas invertase (b-frutofuranosidase) e a-galactosidase (a-D-galactosídeo galactohi-drolase) que estão envolvidas na hidrólise completa dos oligossacarídeos de rafinose. A enzima a-galactosidase foi produzida em meio de cultura do fungo Aspergillus fumigatus crescido por 36 h a 42 °C em meio mineral mínimo contendo os açúcares galactose, ou melibiose, ou ra...

Enzyme activity and reserve mobilization during Macaw palm ( Acrocomia aculeata...

Reserve mobilization in seeds occurs after visible germination, which is marked by the protrusion of the radicle or cotyledonary petiole, as in species of Arecaceae. Acrocomia aculeata (macaw palm), usually produces hard seeds whose endosperm has mannan-rich cell walls. We investigated the composition of storage compounds in macaw palm seed and the roles of two enzymes (endo-β-mannanase, α-galactosidase) during...

Hydrolysis of galacto-oligosaccharides in soy molasses by α -galactosidases and...

Duas α-galactosidases (P1 e P2) e uma invertase produzidas no sobrenadante da cultura do fungo Aspergillus terreus quando crescido por 168 h a 28ºC com farelo de trigo como fonte de carbono foram parcialmente purificadas por cromatografias de gel filtração e interação hidrofóbica. O pH e temperatura ótimos para as preparações P1, P2 e invertase foram entre 4,5-5,0, 5,5 e 4,0 e 60, 55 e 65ºC, respectivamente. ...

Alfa-amilase em frangos de corte: efeitos do balanço eletrolítico e do nível pr...

Um experimento foi conduzido com pintos de corte macho para o estudo dos efeitos dos níveis de 20 e 23% de PB combinados com 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 mEq/kg de balanço dietético eletrolítico (BDE) sobre a atividade da a-amilase pancreática de frangos de corte de 1 a 21 dias de idade. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado. Dietas e água foram fornecidas ad libitum. Aos 1, 7, 14 e 21 dias, três...

Thermostability improvement of Orpinomyces sp. xylanase by directed evolution

The methodology of directed evolution, using the mutagenic technique of error-prone PCR has been used to improve the thermostability of enzymes. This method was applied to the endo-β-1,4-xylanase from Orpinomyces strain PC-2. The constructed library of xylanase (xynA) mutants was subjected to several screening cycles in plates with azo-xylan-agarose as substrate and four thermostable mutants (M1–M4) were select...
