| fermentation of metroxylon sagu resistant starch type iii by lactobacillus sp. and bifidobacterium bifidum. | the in vitro fermentability of sago (metroxylon sagu) resistant starch type iii (rs(3)) by selected probiotic bacteria was investigated. sago rs(3) with 12% rs content was prepared by enzymatic debranching of native sago starch with pullulanase enzyme, followed by autoclaving, cooling, and annealing. the fermentation of sago rs(3) by l. acidophilus ftcc 0291, l. bulgaricus ftcc 0411, l. casei ftcc 0442, and b. bifidum bb12 was investigated by observing the bacterial growth, carbohydrate consumpt ... | 2010 | 20121195 |
| is penicillium citrinum implicated in sago hemolytic disease? | sago hemolytic disease (shd) is an acute hemolytic syndrome affecting rural papua new guineans who depend on the starch of metroxylon sagu as a staple carbohydrate. it is a suspected mycotoxicosis associated with fungal succession in stored and perhaps poorly fermented sago. despite a mortality rate of approximately 25%, little is know about the disease. recent studies have identified penicillium citrinum as a possible candidate in the etiology of shd. this is based on the frequency of isolation ... | 2010 | 20578553 |
| characteristics of metroxylon sagu resistant starch type iii as prebiotic substance. | resistant starch type iii (rs3 ) was produced from sago (metroxylon sagu) and evaluated for its characteristics as a prebiotic. two rs3 samples designated sago rs and hcl-sago rs contained 35.71% and 68.30% rs, respectively, were subjected to hydrolyses by gastric juice and digestive enzymes and to absorption. both sago rs and hcl-sago rs were resistant to 180 min hydrolysis by gastric acidity at ph 1 to 4 with less than 0.85% hydrolyzed. both samples were also resistant toward hydrolysis by gas ... | 2015 | 25739421 |
| isolation of alcohol dehydrogenase cdna and basal regulatory region from metroxylon sagu. | alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) is a versatile enzyme involved in many biochemical pathways in plants such as in germination and stress tolerance. sago palm is plant with much importance to the state of sarawak as one of the most important crops that bring revenue with the advantage of being able to withstand various biotic and abiotic stresses such as heat, pathogens, and water logging. here we report the isolation of sago palm adh cdna and its putative promoter region via the use of rapid amplific ... | 2012 | 27335670 |
| genetic transformation of metroxylon sagu (rottb.) cultures via agrobacterium-mediated and particle bombardment. | sago palm (metroxylon sagu) is a perennial plant native to southeast asia and exploited mainly for the starch content in its trunk. genetic improvement of sago palm is extremely slow when compared to other annual starch crops. urgent attention is needed to improve the sago palm planting material and can be achieved through nonconventional methods. we have previously developed a tissue culture method for sago palm, which is used to provide the planting materials and to develop a genetic transform ... | 2014 | 25295258 |
| burkholderia vietnamiensis isolated from root tissues of nipa palm (nypa fruticans) in sarawak, malaysia, proved to be its major endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacterium. | root-associating bacteria of the nipa palm (nypa fruticans), preferring brackish-water affected mud in sarawak, malaysia, were investigated. in a comparison of rhizobacterial microbiota between the nipa and the sago (metroxylon sagu) palm, it was found that the nipa palm possessed a group of burkholderia vietnamiensis as its main active nitrogen-fixing endophytic bacterium. acetylene reduction by the various isolates of b. vietnamiensis was constant (44 to 68 nmol h(-1) in ethylene production ra ... | 2010 | 20834139 |
