Nisin Z Production by Wild Strains of Lactococcus lactis Isolated from Brazilian (Italian Type) Fermented Sausage by Margarete Alice Fontes Saraiva, Dagim Jirata Birri, Dag Anders Brede, Maria Cristina Baracat-Pereira, Marisa Vieira de Queiroz, Ingolf F Nes, Célia Alencar de Moraes

“…The five isolates produced different amounts of the bacteriocin, L. lactis ID1.5 and ID8.5 isolates being the best nisin Z producers. DNA sequence analysis did not reveal any sequence differences in the nisZ and nisF promoter regions that could explain the differences in nisin Z production, suggesting that there should be other factors responsible for differential nisin Z production by the isolates.…”

Analysis of Nucleotide Variations in Genes of Iron Management in Patients of Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders by Emanuela Castiglioni, Dario Finazzi, Stefano Goldwurm, Gianni Pezzoli, Gianluca Forni, Domenico Girelli, Federica Maccarinelli, Maura Poli, Maurizio Ferrari, Laura Cremonesi, Paolo Arosio

“…In the brain, an accumulation of iron or an increase in its availability has been associated with the development and/or progression of different degenerative processes, including Parkinson's disease, while iron paucity seems to be associated with cognitive deficits, motor dysfunction, and restless legs syndrome. In the search of DNA sequence variations affecting the individual predisposition to develop movement disorders, we scanned by DHPLC the exons and intronic boundary regions of ceruloplasmin, iron regulatory protein 2, hemopexin, hepcidin and hemojuvelin genes in cohorts of subjects affected by Parkinson's disease and idiopathic neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA). …”
