Endangered species laws and the inclusion of Indigenous knowledges and sciences in risk assessments

Author(s): Grimm J; Soares BE; Zanjani LV; Ballard M; Chiblow S; Andrade RS; Duncan AT; Fraser DJ; Mandrak NE; Bernos TA;

Indigenous Peoples actively manage or have tenure rights over lands where many rare and valued species occur. To meet national and global conservation targets, it is important to meaningfully consider Indigenous knowledges and rights in endangered species laws. We examined whether the Canadian Sp ...

Strengthening community-based fisheries monitoring programs with Indigenous perspectives

Author(s): Dewan K; Mulrennan ME; Georgekish E;

Community-based monitoring (CBM) programs are increasingly recognized as essential for adaptive environmental stewardship. Yet, the CBM literature often highlights successful cases and privileges evaluations by external experts over those of community members themselves. To address this gap, we drew on insights from 23 semistructured interviews with Cree ...

Characterization of muscle oxygenation response in well-trained handcyclists

Author(s): Furno Puglia V; Paquette M; Bergdahl A;

Purpose: Peripheral responses might be important in handcycling, given the involvement of small muscles compared to other exercise modalities. Therefore, the goal of this study was to compare changes in muscle oxygen saturation (?SmO2) and deoxyhemoglobin level (?[HHb]) between different efforts and muscles. Methods: Handcyclists participated in a Wingat ...

Cranberry supplementation improves physiological markers of performance in trained runners

Author(s): Parenteau F; Puglia VF; Roberts M; Comtois AS; Bergdahl A;

Purpose: Cranberries have the highest polyphenol and antioxidant capacity among fruits and vegetables and may protect against exercise-induced free radical production, consequently improving performance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of polyphenol-rich cranberry extract (CE) on time-trial performance and lactate response following exercise. ...

Identification of a Conserved Transcriptional Activator-Repressor Module Controlling the Expression of Genes Involved in Tannic Acid Degradation and Gallic Acid Utilization in Aspergillus niger

Author(s): Arentshorst M; Falco MD; Moisan MC; Reid ID; Spaapen TOM; van Dam J; Demirci E; Powlowski J; Punt PJ; Tsang A; Ram AFJ;

Tannic acid, a hydrolysable gallotannin present in plant tissues, consists of a central glucose molecule esterified with gallic acid molecules. Some microorganisms, including several Aspergillus species, can metabolize tannic acid by releasing gallic acid residues from tannic acid by secreting ta ...

Electric Field-Induced Nano-Assembly Formation: First Evidence of Silicon Superclusters with a Giant Permanent Dipole Moment

Author(s): Jardali F; Tran J; Liège F; Florea I; Leulmi ME; Vach H;

The outstanding properties of silicon nanoparticles have been extensively investigated during the last few decades. Experimental evidence and applications of their theoretically predicted permanent electric dipole moment, however, have only been reported for silicon nanoclusters (SiNCs) for a size of about one to two nanometers. Here, we have explored the ...

Characterization of a novel AA3_1 xylooligosaccharide dehydrogenase from Thermothelomyces myriococcoides CBS 398.93

Author(s): Zhao H; Karppi J; Nguyen TTM; Bellemare A; Tsang A; Master E; Tenkanen M;

Background: The Carbohydrate-Active enZymes (CAZy) auxiliary activity family 3 (AA3) comprises flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent (FAD) oxidoreductases from the glucose-methanol-choline (GMC) family, which play auxiliary roles in lignocellulose conversion. The AA3 subfamily 1 predominantly consists of cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs) that typically com ...

Metabolism of anti-inflammatory OXE (oxoeicosanoid) receptor antagonists by nonhuman primates

Author(s): Cossette C; Chourey S; Ye Q; Reddy CN; Wang R; Poulet S; Slobodchikova I; Vuckovic D; Rokach J; Powell WS;

5-Oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is the only product of the proinflammatory 5-lipoxygenase pathway with potent chemoattractant effects for human eosinophils, suggesting an important role in eosinophilic diseases such as asthma. 5-Oxo-ETE, acting through its selective OXE receptor ...

Four Aromatic Intradiol Ring Cleavage Dioxygenases from Aspergillus niger.

Author(s): Semana P, Powlowski J

Ring cleavage dioxygenases catalyze the critical ring-opening step in the catabolism of aromatic compounds. The archetypal filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger previously has been reported to be able to utilize a range of monocyclic aromatic compounds as sole sources of carbon and energy. The genome of A. niger has been sequenced, and deduced amino acid s ...
