EPS Leuconostoc, Food-grade Dextran from Lactobacillus, additives for Leuconostoc spp. Streptococcus, improving (Sigma-Aldrich Pediococcus, smoothness. Chemical CO) Weissella and rheological Oenococcus genera properties, texture, and stability of dairy products [119,122]... 

Xanthan gum [11138-66-2] is an anionic heteropolysaccharide produced by several species of bacteria in the genus Aanthomonas A. campestris NRRL B-1459 produces the biopolymer with the most desirable physical properties and is used for commercial production of xanthan gum (see Gums). This strain was identified in the 1950s as part of a program to develop microbial polysaccharides derived from fermentations utilizing com sugar (333,334). The primary... 

The quahty of various grades of castor oil have been prescribed by the International Castor Oil Association, Inc. (ICOAI). Specifications prescribed for the triglyceride oil derived from a plant of the genus Acinus communis are shown in Table 4. The International Castor Oil Association, Inc. has also estabUshed chemical properties to be used in the event of a dispute between buyer and seller as to the purity of the oil. These specifications are given in Table 5. 

The surface dividing the components of the mixture formed by a layer of surfactant characterizes the structure of the mixture on a mesoscopic length scale. This interface is described by its global properties such as the surface area, the Euler characteristic or genus, distribution of normal vectors, or in more detail by its local properties such as the mean and Gaussian curvatures. 

This class of polysaccharide was well known in sugar refineries as the causative agent of ropiness it was formed from cane or beet sugar by bacteria of the Leuconostoc genus. Over many years, numerous papers were published, mainly with E. J. Bourne [Adv. Carbohydr. Chem. Biochem., 34 (1977) 1-22] and S. A. Barker as co-authors, describing the isolation, purification, properties, and structural features of dextrans. 

The red microalga genus Porphyridium is a source of biochemicals possessing nutritional and therapeutic values. The biochemicals include polysaccharides that have anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids such as zeaxanthin, and fluorescent phycobiliproteins. 

Pectinases are the enzyme that widely used especially in industrial applications (1, 2, 3, 4). Types of the pectinases are different concerned on their properties and the actions on the pectic substances (5). Several genus of fungi could produce pectinases eg. AspergUlus, PeniciUium, Sclerotium, Fusarium and Rhizopus (6,7). 

The family Aristolochiaceae is a family of herbaceous plants often used in Asia and the Pacific to counteract snake poisoning, promote urination and menses, mitigate stomachache, and treat dropsy and skin diseases. During the past 20 years, members of this family, especially from the genus Aristolochia have attracted much interest and has been the subject of numerous chemical and pharmacological studies. The anti-inflammatory property of Aristolochia species is probably the result of a direct... 

The potential properties of A. suaveolens Bl. has a source of topoisomerase II inhibitor is open for exploration. The plant probably elaborates aporphine alkaloids because aporphines are known to occur in the genus Artabotrys (2,3), Liriodenine and athero-spermidine from Artabotrys undnatus and artabotrine from Artabotrys zeylanicus abrogated the survival of cancer cells cultured in vitro (4). 

The roots are chewed by Malays to treat cough. The roots are boiled then reduce into a powder form, which is applied externally to reduce fever. The leaves are part of a mixture eaten with sireh to promote libido. The pharmacological properties of Pseudouvaria setosa (King) J. Sincl., and of the genus. 

Dammar resin was introduced into Europe in the nineteenth century, mainly as a paint varnish It is still used today since it has good optical properties and low acidity. It is derived from various species (the genus Hopea and Shorea of the Dipterocarpaceae family). It is characterised by tetracyclic triterpenoids of the dammarane series and contains minor amounts of pentacyclic triterpenoids of the series of olanane, ursane and hopane. It also contains a polymeric fraction named polycadinene or [S-resene. Dammar resin triterpenoids undergo oxidation with ageing, as described for the components of mastic resin. 

Mycobacterium is a genus of bacteria that has characteristic cell walls and unusual staining properties. AIDS patients are most commonly infected with an atypical form of tuberculosis bacterium called Mycobacterium avium inter-cellulare. This bacterium does not normally cause disease in healthy people, but in AIDS patients, it may cause tuberculosis-like disease in the lungs. The infection can also involve numerous other tissues, such as the bone marrow, and bacteria may be present in the blood at very high levels. Patients with this opportunistic infection will have fevers and low number of white blood cells. These infections are often resistant to drugs. 

Subtilisins are a class of related serine endo proteases produced by members of the Bacillus genus. The B.amvloliauefaciens subtilisin (BPN ) is well-characterized with regard to its DNA sequence 4 protein sequence (5), X-ray crystal structure (6) and kinetic properties (7). With this wealth of information available, BPN was chosen as the model enzyme for our recombinant approach.
