Application


  • Changes in physicochemical properties and microbial community succession during leaf stacking fermentation.: This research investigates the changes in physicochemical properties and microbial communities during leaf fermentation, with a focus on the role of volatile compounds like 2,3-pentanedione. The study provides insights into fermentation processes and microbial interactions (Zhang et al., 2023).

Model studies using independently labeled D-[(13)C]glucoses and L-[(13)C]alanines have indicated that 2,3-butanedione is formed by a single pathway involving only glucose carbon atoms, whereas 2, 3-pentanedione is formed by two pathways, one involving glucose carbon atoms (10%) and the other

Caenorhabditis elegans odr-2 mutants are defective in the ability to chemotax to odorants that are recognized by the two AWC olfactory neurons. Like many other olfactory mutants, they retain responses to high concentrations of AWC-sensed odors; we show here that

Incubation of homogeneous preparations of L-threonine dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli with 2,3-butanedione, 2,3-pentanedione, phenylglyoxal, or 1,2-cyclohexanedione causes a time- and concentration-dependent loss of enzymatic activity; plots of log percent activity remaining versus time are linear to greater than 90% inactivation

The reaction of pigeon liver malic enzyme (L-malate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating), EC 1.1.1.40) with dicarbonyl compounds (2,3-butanedione, methylglyoxal, 2,4-pentanedione, and phenylglyoxal) resulted in a rapid loss of its enzymatic activity. The inactivation showed pseudo-first-order kinetics for all the dicarbonyls studied. All
