Assessing Genetic and Environmental Influence on Traits Associated with Natto Quality
… to conventional soybean use. The production of natto, a fermented soyfood, requires soybean cultivars that consistently express specific quality traits over a range of growing environments. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate genetic and environmental influence for natto quality traits to …

Improving Breeding Selection of Seed Quality Traits for Food-Grade Soybeans
Natto and sprout soybeans are produced using small-seeded soybeans and their production is a high value alternative to grow grain soybeans for food in U.S. The development of soybean cultivars with improved natto and sprout quality is crucial for maintaining and increasing the soyfood market. …

Bacterial production of poly-γ-glutamic acid and evaluation of its effect on the viability of probiotic microorganisms
… B. subtilis 23858 B. subtilis 23859, B. subtilis natto, B. licheniformis 1525, B. licheniformis 6816 and B. licheniformis 9945a) in GS and E media. B. subtilis natto and B. licheniformis 9945a have been investigated extensively for γ-PGA production, however, the remaining six have not previously …

Bacterial poly-gamma-Glutamic Acid (y-PGA) - a promising biosorbent of heavy metals
… B. licheniformis ATCC 9945a and B. subtilis (natto) ATCC 15245) in GS, C and E media for the removal of heavy metals in wastewaters. The highest γ-PGA yields of 11.69 g/l and 11.59 g/l were produced by Bacillus subtilis (natto) ATCC 15245 in GS medium and medium C respectively. Upon …

Assessing and Implementing Value-Added Soybean Innovations in the Soybean Meal and Food Industry
… a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 146 natto soybean accessions identified novel SNPs associated with the key quality traits—water absorption, seed coat deficiency, cooked color, protein, and oil content—many of which were linked to stress-responsive gene networks. Collectively, these …

STUDIES ON NATURAL AND EDIBLE BIOPOLYMERS. ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND CHEMICAL MODIFICATIONS OF POLY(Γ-GLUTAMIC ACID) (Γ-PGA) FROM BACILLUS SUBTILIS
… innocuous and edible. The popular food known as natto in Japan or dan-douchi in China, a soybean fermented compound that contains about 1% of γ-PGA, has formed part of the diet of Asian people for hundreds of years. Due to its biodegradability and to the intrinsic absence of toxicity as well as …

Actin-like filament A (AlfA) and AlfA-driven plasmid segregation
… in plasmid segregation in Bacillus subtilis natto, and it is encoded by plasmid pLS32. In this dissertation, I investigate AlfA and the AlfA-driven segregation system, which is composed of the cytomotive AlfA filaments, the DNA-binding protein AlfB and the centromeric DNA sequence parN. We …

Never Smokers -- Are They More Sensitive to the Respiratory Health Effects of Ambient Air Pollution?
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Several studies show an association between ambient particulate matter (PM) and all-cause mortality. The Adventist Health and Smog 1 (AHSMOG-1) study (N=6,338) has previously found associations between ambient air pollution and incident chronic obstructive pulmonary …

Studies of immunoglobulin receptors and human proximal tubular cells
Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a major cause of progressive chronic renal failure (CRF) and accounts for less than 20% in the UK of patients requiring dialysis and transplantation. There are many forms of GN, of which IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common, affecting up to 2% of the adult …
