- Description of Ewiss cheese, a new ewe′s milk cheese processed by Swiss cheese manufacturing techniques: microbiological, physicochemical and sensory aspects.: This study details the production of Ewiss cheese, focusing on the microbiological and physicochemical properties, including the use of myristic acid in enhancing flavor and texture profiles (Garofalo et al., 2024).
- Experiments and Molecular Simulations to Study the Effect of Surface-Active Compounds in Mixtures of Model Oils on CO2 Corrosion during Intermittent Oil-Water Wetting.: Investigates how myristic acid, as a surface-active compound, influences CO2 corrosion mechanisms in oil-water systems, offering insights into corrosion prevention strategies in the oil industry (Norooziasl et al., 2024).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Myristic acid is a straight-chain 14-carbon fatty acid. Diets rich in myristic acid, along with lauric and palmitic acids, are associated with increased serum levels of low densisity lipoprotein cholesterol.

Proper Golgi complex function depends on the activity of Arf1, a GTPase whose effectors assemble and transport outgoing vesicles. Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) generated at the Golgi by the conserved PI 4-kinase Pik1 (PI4KIIIβ) is also essential for Golgi function, although

Xylella fastidiosa, like related Xanthomonas species, employs an Rpf cell-cell communication system consisting of a diffusible signal factor (DSF) synthase, RpfF, and a DSF sensor, RpfC, to coordinate expression of virulence genes. While phenotypes of a ΔrpfF strain in Xanthomonas

The marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri regulates its bioluminescence through a quorum sensing mechanism: the bacterium releases diffusible small molecules (autoinducers) that accumulate in the environment as the population density increases. This accumulation of autoinducer (AI) eventually activates transcriptional regulators for

Rab family GTPases are key organizers of membrane trafficking and function as markers of organelle identity. Accordingly, Rab GTPases often occupy specific membrane domains, and mechanisms exist to prevent the inappropriate mixing of distinct Rab domains. The yeast Golgi complex
