Electrochemical genosensor for the direct detection of tailed PCR amplicons incorporating ferrocene labelled dATP
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
An electrochemical genosensor for the detection and quantification of Karlodinium armiger is presented. The genosensor exploits tailed primers and ferrocene labelled dATP analogue to produce PCR products ...
The role of life cycle assessment in supporting sustainable agri-food systems: A review of the challenges
(Elsevier, 2016-06-15)
Life cycle thinking is increasingly seen as a key concept for ensuring a transition towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns. As food production systems and consumption patterns
are ...
Aggregation-prone peptides modulate activity of bovine interferon gamma released from naturally occurring protein nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
Efficient protocols for the production of recombinant proteins are indispensable for the development of the biopharmaceutical sector. Accumulation of recombinant proteins in naturally-occurring protein ...
Relationship among Soil Biophysicochemical Properties, Agricultural Practices and Climate Factors Influencing Soil Phosphatase Activity in Agricultural Land
(MDPI, 2024-02-10)
Phosphorus (P) is a vital macronutrient crucial for crop productivity. Plants absorb P salts, mainly orthophosphate, from the soil, yet the primary P source resides in organic materials. Acid and alkaline ...
Effects of exogenous glucoamylase enzymes alone or in combination with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility and feces D-Lactate in crossbred angus bulls fed a ration rich in rolled corn
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two glucoamylases (GA) and the
combination of one GA with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility in beef bulls fed a
total mixed ...
Improved anaerobic biodegradability of wheat straw, solid cattle manure and solid slaughterhouse by alkali, ultrasonic and alkali-ultrasonic pre-treatment
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-09-07)
Wheat straw and animal wastes are important feedstock for biogas production in Europe. Yet, the high content of lignocellulosic and refractory materials causes the process to be relatively slow. Therefore, ...
Exploring the relationship between stress coping styles and sex, origin and reproductive success, in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) breeders in captivity
(Elsevier, 2020-03-13)
Individual animals commonly adopt different stress coping styles that have been shown to impact reproductive success and differ between sexes (female/male) and origin (wild/hatchery). Hatchery reared ...
Evaluating the potential role of tryptophan in calf milk replacers to facilitate weaning
(Elsevier, 2020-05-29)
Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that participates in the control of the affective state of an animal. We hypothesized that Trp supplementation could help dairy calves to cope ...
Prediction of the total and standardized ileal digestible amino acid contents from the chemical composition of soybean meals of different origin in broilers
(Poultry Science Association, 2020-07-04)
The objective of this experiment was to determine total amino acid (TAA) content, standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein, and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility in 9 sources ...
A mycobacterial disease is associated with the silent mass mortality of the pen shell Pinna nobilis along the Tyrrhenian coastline of Italy
(Nature, 2019-02-25)
Disease is an increasing threat for marine bivalves worldwide. Recently, a mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish ...
