A comparative analysis of extreme thermophilic bacteria belonging to the genus Thermus
Several extreme thermophilic Gram negative bacteria found in a thermally polluted river in Belgium have been compared with Thermus strains isolated from widely distant geographical areas. This… Expand

Efficient generation of recombinant adenovirus vectors by homologous recombination in Escherichia coli.
Despite recent technical improvements, the construction of recombinant adenovirus vectors remains a time-consuming procedure which requires extensive manipulations of the viral genome in both… Expand

Nitrogen catabolite repression modulates the production of aromatic thiols characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc at the level of precursor transport.
The free thiols 3-mercapto-hexanol (3MH) and its acetate, practically absent from musts, are liberated by yeast during fermentation from a cysteinylated precursor [S-3-(hexan-1-ol)-l-cysteine… Expand

New insights on 3-mercaptohexanol (3MH) biogenesis in Sauvignon Blanc wines: Cys-3MH and (E)-hexen-2-al are not the major precursors.
The molar conversion yield of Cys-3MH into 3MH, during alcoholic fermentation, was traced using a deuterated isotope of the precursor added to different Sauvignon Blanc musts. This yield is close to… Expand

Total biosynthesis of hydrocortisone from a simple carbon source in yeast
We report on the production of hydrocortisone, the major adrenal glucocorticoid of mammals and an important intermediate of steroidal drug synthesis, from a simple carbon source by recombinant… Expand

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing mammalian steroid hydroxylase CYP7B: Ayr1p and Fox2p display 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity
We have engineered recombinant yeast to perform stereospecific hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). This mammalian pro‐hormone promotes brain and immune function; hydroxylation at the 7α… Expand

Pregnenolone esterification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A potential detoxification mechanism.
While studying the effect of steroids on the growth of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we found that pregnenolone was converted into the acetate ester. This reaction was identified as a transfer… Expand

Sterol uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae heme auxotrophic mutants is affected by ergosterol and oleate but not by palmitoleate or by sterol esterification.
The relationship between sterol uptake and heme competence in two yeast strains impaired in heme synthesis, namely, G204 and H12-6A, was analyzed. To evaluate heme availability, a heterologous… Expand

Cloning and expression of a cDNA coding for the anticoagulant hirudin from the bloodsucking leech, Hirudo medicinalis.
Cloned cDNAs have been isolated that encode a variant of hirudin, a potent thrombin inhibitor that is secreted by the salivary glands of the medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis. This variant probably… Expand
