Modeling and optimization of bioreactors and lipid bodies
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-03-28 without embargo terms

Effects of Methanol, Atrazine, and Copper on the Ultrastructure of Pseudokirchneriella Subcapitata (Selenastrum Capricornutum).
… volume in the chloroplasts, mitochondria, lipid bodies, phosphate bodies, and nucleus was investigated to determine if it could be used as a sensitive endpoint in toxicity tests. The volume fractions for the chloroplasts and mitochondria were normally distributed in control cells while the …

Lipid Targets of the Antimalarial Trioxanes in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>
… and specific accumulation of drug within neutral lipid bodies. Fluorescent labeling was competitive with artemisinin. Experiments with inactive artemisinin derivatives and the iron chelator, desferrioxamine, demonstrated that localization within lipid bodies was both iron- and …

Tuberculosis transcriptomics: host protection and immune evasion mechanisms
… and dendritic cells, reduced accumulation of lipid bodies and serum fatty acids. In vitro experiments showed that PKCδ was required for optimal killing effector functions which were independent of phagosome maturation and autophagy in primary murine macrophages. Our studies suggested that …

Physiological and ultrastructural effects of sterol-inhibiting fungicides on apple leaves and the apple scab fungus
… by the accumulation of minute electron dense bodies around their periphery. Invaginations and proliferations of the plasmalemma were observed as well as increased vacuolization of the cell. Further electron microscopic observations were made of the in vitro conidial state of Venturia …

Characterisation of marama bean protein
… Specifically, the microstructure of protein bodies in two species (T. esculentum and T. fassoglense) of marama beans was compared with that of soya beans. Furthermore, the composition and functionality (thermal and rheological properties) of marama bean protein were determined and compared …

Study of wound healing and the involvement of the cytoskeleton in Vaucheria longicaulis variety macounii
… off from the filament. Mitochondria and probable lipid bodies (designated RBIs) are identified by staining with DiOC6 and Rhodamine B, respectively. They are present in the wound healing vesicle cytoplasm and accumulate along the wound site. The cytoskeleton is identified as strand-like cables or …

Investigation of the roles of a membrane-bound caleosin in higher plants
… of the two major protein components of storage lipid bodies in the seeds of higher plants, the other being oleosins. In contrast with oleosins,<br/>caleosins have a single calcium-binding EF-hand domain plus several potential phosphorylation sites and have been hypothesised as playing a role in …

A metallomic, proteomic and lipidomic investigation of the malaria parasites digestive vacuole and insights into the mediators of haemozoin formation
… by interrogating the haemozoin proteome and lipidome. Haemozoin was obtained from parasitised erythrocytes following a fractionation approach which culminated in their release from purified digestive vacuoles (DVs) following multiple freeze-thaw cycles. Isolated crystals were extensively …

Investigating permeation of anti-mycobacterial agents in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. tuberculosis-infected macrophages in vitro as a model for early stage tuberculosis drug discovery
… order to assess the effect of foamy macrophage lipid bodies (LBs) on drug uptake and intracellular localization, oleic acid-induced foamy macrophages were treated with selected antiTB drugs and experimental compounds. FA and derivatives showed early increased accumulation in foamy cells compared …

Antimalarial benzimidazoles and related structures incorporating an intramolecular hydrogen bonding motif: medicinal chemistry and mechanistic studies
… like the digestive vacuole and the neutral lipid bodies that have been implicated in hemozoin formation, it was hypothesized that the parent compounds 1.3 and 3.14 could be inhibiting the formation of hemozoin. Docking studies employed to investigate this hypothesis predicted intermolecular …
