Biodegradation and environmental behavior of biodiesel mixtures in the sea: An initial study

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) derived from animal fats or vegetable oils, is rapidly moving towards the mainstream as an alternative source of energy. However, the behavior of biodiesel, or blends of biodiesel with fossil diesel, ...

Disentangling oil weathering using GCxGC. 1. Chromatogram analysis

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Historically, the thousands of compounds found in oils constituted an “unresolved complex mixture” that frustrated efforts to analyze oil weathering. Moreover, different weathering processes inflict rich and diverse signatures of compositional change in oi ...

Extractive Bioconversion of 2-Phenylethanol from L-Phenylalanine by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison

The bioconversion of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) to 2-phenylethanol (PEA) by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is limited by the toxicity of the product. PEA extn. by a sep. org. phase in the fermenter is the ideal in situ product recovery (ISPR) technique to ...

Topical peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha activators reduce inflammation in irritant and allergic contact dermatitis models

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

Activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha, a nuclear hormone receptor that heterodimerizes with retinoid X receptor, stimulate epidermal differentiation and inhibit proliferation. Here we determined the anti-inflammatory effects of per ...

The pleiotropic functions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma

Johan Auwerx

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear hormone receptors, initially described as molecular targets for synthetic compounds that induce peroxisome proliferation. PPARgamma is the best characterized of the PPARs. The heterodimer of P ...
