Benzophenone-3 (BP3) is an organic pollutant widely detected in soil and aquatic environments. The aims of this study were to isolate a bacterium which is capable of degrading BP3 and converting it into non-toxic products, and to design a non-sterile culture process which may be applied to the real biological treatment systems for the bioremediation of BP3. Klebsiella huaxiensis W2 (GenBank accession number: PQ143284) isolated...

Purpose This study examined the effects of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) on folliculogenesis and mitochondrial dynamics (fission and fusion mechanisms) in ovaries of middle-aged female rats. Methods Experimental groups were young, middle-aged (control), middle-aged + NMN and middle-aged + NR. NMN was administered at a concentration of 500 mg/kg intraperitoneally but NR at a concentration of 2...
