The ability to produce secondary metabolites, enzymes, and other important compounds for various industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological applications is a defining characteristic of actinobacteria, one of the most significant microbial phyla among prokaryotes. However, little attention has been given to the relationship between the secondary metabolites of actinobacteria and their stress responses compar...

Purpose Aerobic exercise capacity is reduced in patients with chronic kidney disease, partly due to alterations at the muscular and microvascular level. This study evaluated oxygen uptake (VO 2 ) kinetics as indicator of muscular oxidative metabolism in a population of Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTRs). Methods Two groups of KTRs enrolled 3 ( n = 21) and 12 months ( n = 14) after transplantation and a control group of health...
