Fatty4
Insufficient biosynthesis efficiency during the lipogenic phase can be a major obstacle to engineering oleaginous yeasts to overproduce very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). (bvsalud.org)
More importantly, a genome-wide transcriptional analysis endowed clues to strengthen the fatty acid elongation (FAE) module and identify/use lipogenic phase-activated promoter, collectively addressing the stagnation of NA accumulation during the lipogenic phase. (bvsalud.org)
The best-designed strain exhibited a high NA content (as the major component in total fatty acid [TFA], 46.3%) and produced a titer of 44.2 g/L in a 5 L bioreactor. (bvsalud.org)
2. Oily foods, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids. (earthclinic.com)
Amino acid5

The amino acid is added to a growing protein during the process of translation. (wikibooks.org)
In mammals, the charm of L-arginine occurs through a one's own flesh of cationic amino acid transporters known as CATs (cationic amino acid transporters), the properties of which earmarks of that of the y + amino acid transport system. (fosite.ru)
A non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from GLUTAMIC ACID. (lookformedical.com)
Solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/xCT is an amino acid transporter that mediates the cystine uptake and glutamate export, participates in several malignant tumors' progression. (bvsalud.org)
Organic3
Dichloroacetic acid (DCA), sometimes called bichloroacetic acid (BCA), is the organic compound with formula CHCl2CO2H. (wikipedia.org)
2,4-D is a member of the phenoxy family of herbicides it is made from chloroacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenol, which is produced by chlorination of phenol, is usually called 2,4-D and it is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H6Cl2O3. (waterfilteradvisor.com)
Covalent2
An acid is a molecule or ion capable of donating a hydron ( proton or hydrogen ion H + ), or, alternatively, capable of forming a covalent bond with an electron pair (a Lewis acid). (alchetron.com)
The second category of acids are Lewis acids , which form a covalent bond with an electron pair. (alchetron.com)
Liver2
Haloacetic acids are linked to liver cancer and negative health effects for kidneys and testes. (watermatters.ca)
It is conjugated to GLYCINE in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid. (lookformedical.com)
Definitions3
Modern definitions are concerned with the fundamental chemical reactions common to all acids. (alchetron.com)
Most acids encountered in everyday life are aqueous solutions, or can be dissolved in water, so the Arrhenius and Brønsted-Lowry definitions are the most relevant. (alchetron.com)
Hydronium ions are acids according to all three definitions. (alchetron.com)
Water8
What are Haloacetic Acids (HAAs) in Drinking Water? (watermatters.ca)
Haloacetic acids are more difficult to remove from chlorinated tap water than THMs . (watermatters.ca)
The fact that NSF does not yet have a standard that includes HAAs is indicative of the challenges of removing haloacetic acids from chlorinated water by any means. (watermatters.ca)
In other words, this bottled water was chemically indistinguishable from tap water. (ewg.org)
Water Filter Advisor was founded to analyze & spread the word about water filtration. (waterfilteradvisor.com)
Abstract: The applicability of a direct injection UHPLC-MS/MS method for the analysis of several perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in a wide range of water matrices was investigated. (thefactsaboutwater.org)
An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of H + ions in the water. (alchetron.com)
Note that chemists often write H + ( aq ) and refer to the hydrogen ion when describing acid-base reactions but the free hydrogen nucleus, a proton, does not exist alone in water, it exists as the hydronium ion, H 3 O + . Thus, an Arrhenius acid can also be described as a substance that increases the concentration of hydronium ions when added to water. (alchetron.com)
Carcinogenic1
Dichloracetic acid (DCA) is classified as probably carcinogenic to humans. (watermatters.ca)

A solution of tropic acid (commercially available) (3.06g) and (-)quinine (6g) in ethanol (100ml) was refluxed to dissolve the components and subsequently left at room temperature overnight. (ambeed.com)
An aqueous solution of an acid has a pH less than 7 and is colloquially also referred to as 'acid' (as in 'dissolved in acid'), while the strict definition refers only to the solute. (alchetron.com)
Lewis considered this as a generalization of the Brønsted definition, so that an acid is a chemical species that accepts electron pairs either directly or by releasing protons (H + ) into the solution, which then accept electron pairs. (alchetron.com)
