Unbiased RNA Shotgun Metagenomics in Social and Solitary Wild Bees Detects Associations with Eukaryote Parasites and New Viruses.

The diversity of eukaryote organisms and viruses associated with wild bees remains poorly characterized in contrast to the well-documented pathosphere of the western honey bee, Apis mellifera.Using a deliberate RNA shotgun metagenomic sequencing strategy in combination with a dedicated bioinformatics workflow, we identified the (micro-)organisms an

Sucrose substitution in cake systems is not a piece of cake

Abstract WIDE ROSE BODY OIL Successful sucrose replacement in cake systems requires thorough understanding of its functionality.Time-domain 1H NMR showed that water in the viscous aqueous phase isolated from cake batter by ultracentrifugation [i.e.the batter liquor (BL)] exhibits low mobility by its low T2 relaxation time (T2,D RT).This is due to i
