Organisms regularly face the challenge of having to accumulate and allocate limited resources toward life-history traits. However, direct quantification of how resources are accumulated and allocated is rare. Carotenoids are among the best systems for investigating resource allo…
Teucrium species: biology and applications
Teucrium species are an intersting object of research in the various aspects of science with multiple applications. With more than 949 species, Teucrium is one of the largest and well distributed genera of the Lamiaceae family. Known medicinal Teucrium species have a long tradit…
This volume discusses the latest analytical approaches used to sample defined molecular populations of metabolites via functional group derivatization, specialized chromatographic methods, and ionization techniques. Chapters cover key methods for sample introductions to the ion …

This thesis focuses on studies investigating the structure of intermediates involved in fluorometabolite biosynthesis, and the potential applications of the fluorinase enzyme in positron emission tomography (PET). Chapter 1 introduces the rare natural occurrence of fluorinated c…
Cyanobacteria offer promise as alternative microorganisms to heterotrophic bacteria like Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) because of their ability for oxygenic photosynthesis, faster growth compared to plants, high solar conversion efficiencies, and smaller genomes more amenable to …
Individual Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are rare disorders, most having an incidence of less than 1 per 100,000 births. However, when considered collectively, the incidence may approach 1 in 800 to 2500 births.
