Crocetin esters present in saffron (Crocus sativus L.) stigmas and in Gardenia jasminoides Ellis fruit are the compounds responsible for their color. Of the fifteen crocetin esters identified in this… Expand
The bzd gene cluster, coding for anaerobic benzoate catabolism, in Azoarcus sp. strain CIB.
- M. J. López Barragán, M. Carmona, +5 authors E. Díaz
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 September 2004
We report here that the bzd genes for anaerobic benzoate degradation in Azoarcus sp. strain CIB are organized as two transcriptional units, i.e., a benzoate-inducible catabolic operon,… Expand
BzdR, a Repressor That Controls the Anaerobic Catabolism of Benzoate in Azoarcus sp. CIB, Is the First Member of a New Subfamily of Transcriptional Regulators*
- M. L. Barragán, B. Blázquez, +4 authors M. Carmona
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Biological Chemistry
- 18 March 2005
In this work, we have studied the transcriptional regulation of the bzd operon involved in the anaerobic catabolism of benzoate in the denitrifying Azoarcus sp. strain CIB. The transcription start… Expand
Synthesis and characterization of microcapsules containing Rubitherm®RT27 obtained by spray drying
