Article Abstract

The production of lipolytic enzymes by 130 red yeast strains isolated from various environments in Poland was assessed. Based on two screening tests on Petri dishes, 12 yeast strains with the highest potential lipolytic activity were selected. All strains belonged to the genus Rhodotorula. Further analysis showed that the most efficient producer of extracellular lipases was Rhodotorula babjevae A-110 (CMIFS 163), with lipolytic activity ranging from 39.11 to 50.35 U/mL during batch cultures in flasks. After cultivating this strain in a 5-L laboratory bioreactor, the highest lipase activity (137.25 U/mL) was achieved after 48 h in a medium with sunflower oil. The Michaelis-Menten constant of the lipases was 4.55 × 10 M. Maximum activity was observed at pH 7.5-8.0, with an optimal temperature of 37 °C at pH 8.0. Lipolytic enzymes were stable at 20, 30, and 40 °C, but butanol completely inactivated R. babjevae lipases. Following protein precipitation from the postculture liquid with ammonium sulfate, lipolytic activity reached 352.52 U/mL, 2.5-fold higher than in the supernatant after cultivation of R. babjevae in a bioreactor.

Immune cells are increasingly recognized as nutrient sensors; however, their developmental role in regulating growth under homeostasis or dietary stress remains elusive. Here, we show that Drosophila larval macrophages, in response to excessive dietary sugar (HSD), reprogram their metabolic state by activating glycolysis, thereby enhancing TCA-cycle flux, and increasing lipogenesis-while concurrently maintaining a lipolytic state. Although this immune-metabolic configuration correlates with growth retardation under HSD, our genetic analyses reveal that enhanced lipogenesis supports growth, whereas glycolysis and lipolysis are growth-inhibitory.

Background & Aims: Binge drinking causes fat accumulation in the liver and is a known risk factor for more severe forms of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Although adipocyte-released free fatty acids (FFA) have been shown to contribute to alcohol-induced liver damage, the signaling pathways that trigger lipolytic activity in adipose tissues following acute alcohol overconsumption is largely unknown. Notably, activation of sympathetic nerve-β3 adrenergic receptor (Adrb3) plays a central role in sustained adipocyte lipolysis.

Peru is the eighth largest producer of cocoa beans worldwide; however, the high cadmium content (Cd) presented in the white Criollo cocoa beans from the Piura region, has limited their commercialization. A potential strategy to mitigate this problem is the application of native lactic acid bacteria (LAB), capable of reducing Cd during the fermentation stage of the grain. Three Theobroma cacao L.

Background: To cope with thermal challenges of aquatic environments, marine mammals, including cetaceans, sirenians, and pinnipeds, independently evolved a substantially thickened subcutaneous blubber layer compared to terrestrial relatives. The blubber is a specialized adipose tissue layer under the skin of marine mammals and is vital for heat insulation, energy storage, buoyancy control and enhancement of locomotion. However, the molecular evolutionary mechanism underlying blubber thickening remains largely unexplored.

: Enzymes secreted by the digestive glands are excreted from the body with urine, sweat and feces, and they are also removed from the blood due to their participation in the enzymatic provision of the secretion entering the gastrointestinal tract. : The aim of this work was to analyze the activity of pepsinogen, amylase and lipase in the coprofiltrate of pregnant women in each trimester of pregnancy and in the postpartum period, taking into account the timing and type of delivery (term, premature, late delivery or cesarean section). : Data from studies of non-pregnant (n = 45) and pregnant (n = 193) women were analyzed.
