Nutritional and Functional Properties of Wild Leafy Vegetables for Improving Fo...

In Southern Angola, numerous non-woody forest products are sold at local markets, namely in Lubango (Huíla Province). Such is the case of herbaceous wild plants, locally known as lombi, which are sold fresh throughout the year and cooked as a vegetable. Although these wild leafy vegetables are commercialized and widely used in local food, there is still a lack of scientific knowledge about their properties. Thu...

Museum and herbarium collections for biodiversity research in Angola

The importance of museum and herbarium collections is especially great in biodiverse countries such as Angola, an importance as great as the challenges facing the effective and sustained management of such facilities. The interface that Angola represents between tropical humid climates and semi-desert and desert regions creates conditions for diverse habitats with many rare and endemic species. Museum and herba...

New insights on glycerol transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Previous studies evidenced in Saccharomyces cerevi-siae the activity of a H þ /glycerol symport, derepressed by growth on non-fermentable carbon sources, later associated with GUP1 and GUP2 genes. It was also demonstrated that only the combined deletion of GUP1, GUP2 together with GUT1 (glycerol kinase) abolished active transport in ethanol-induced cells. In this work, we show that a glycerol H þ /symport, with...

Glycerol has been shown to cross Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasma membrane (1) through a H+/symport detected in cells grown on non-fermentable carbon sources, (2) by passive diffusion and (3) through the constitutive Fps1p channel. This has been named a facilitator, for mediating glycerol low affinity transport of the facilitated diffusion type. We present experimental evidence that this kinetics is an artefact ...
