Accramycin A, a New Aromatic Polyketide, from the Soil Bacterium, Streptomyces sp. MA37 by Fleurdeliz Maglangit et al.

Abstract Drug-like molecules are known to contain many different building blocks with great potential as pharmacophores for drug discovery. The continued search for unique scaffolds in our laboratory led to the isolation of a novel Ghanaian soil bacterium, Streptomyces sp. MA37. This strain produces many bioactive molecules, most of which belong to carbazoles, pyrrolizidines, and fluorinated metabolites. Further probing of the metabolites of...

Physicochemical and sensory properties of carabeef treated with Bacillus subtilis (Ehrenberg) Cohn protease as meat tenderizer by Kenneth Joseph Bureros et al.

Abstract This study investigated the use of Bacillus subtilis protease powder (CTC E-ssentials™ MT-70N) as a carabeef tenderizer. The effect of the bacterial protease on the characteristics of carabeef was determined, and its effectiveness was compared to a commercial meat tenderizer containing papain. Only B. subtilis protease showed significant enzyme activity (80–190 U/g), while the commercial meat tenderizer had no activity (0 U/g). Results...
