   Abstract : The Escherichia coli small RNA (sRNA) MicA was identified recently in a genomewide search for sRNAs. It is encoded between the genes gshA and luxS in E. coli and its close relatives. The function of sRNAs in bacteria is generally believed to be in maintenance of homeostasis via stress-induced modulation of gene expression. READ MORE

4. 2. High Cell Density Strategies and Adaptive Evolution for Microbial Propionic Acid Production

   Author : Victor Hugo Cavero Olguin; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Propionic acid (PA) is a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid produced by microbial fermentation of the indigestible foods in the intestine, having a positive effect on the gastrointestinal health. PA inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and molds; hence it is widely used as preservative for food, feed and grains. READ MORE
