Microbial cell factories represent an alternative idea for efficient production of simple phenylpropanoids.
The chalcone-based fluorescent probe gal-HCA favors highly selective detection of β-galactosidase in vitro and in living cells.
A series of NIR xanthene-chalcone fluorophores with large Stokes shifts (>100 nm) were developed for constructing fluorescent probes with a substituted hydroxyl group.
Ti- and Zn-containing nanoparticles from a mineral-based sunscreen are detected and classified against the natural particle background from river water using single-particle ICP-TOFMS and hierarchical clustering analysis.
This was a pioneering pilot study that investigated metabolic differences in six biovars of Brucella abortus. Two metabolites were putatively identified and may be potential markers for biovar differentiation.
