Cunninghamella elegans is a species of fungus in the genus "Cunninghamella" found in soil. It can be grown in Sabouraud dextrose broth, a liquid medium used for cultivation of yeasts and molds from liquid which are normally sterile. As opposed to "C. bertholletiae", it is not a human pathogen, with the exception of two... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=31144433 |
Cunninghamella elegans elegans" is able to transform the tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline and doxepin, the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapine, the muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine, the typical antipsychotic chlorpromazine as well as the antihistamine and anticholinergic methdilazine and azatadine.

Cunninghamella elegans In flavonols, an hydroxyl group is available in the 3- position allowing the glycosylation at that position. The biotransformation of quercetin yields three metabolites, including quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and isorhamnetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. Gluco... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=31144433 |
Cunninghamella elegans elegans" genomic DNA isolation and transformation have been developed. The cytochrome P450 of "C. elegans" has been cloned in "Escherichia coli" as well as an enolase. "Cunninghamella elegans" can be grown in stirred tank batch bioreactor. Protoplasts cultures have been used. "C. elegans" can be ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=31144433 |
Dufour effect The is the energy flux due to a mass concentration gradient occurring as a coupled effect of irreversible processes. It is the reciprocal phenomenon to the Soret effect. The concentration gradient results in a temperature change. For binary liquid mixtures, the is usually considered negligible, whereas in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=31149664 |
