Propionate fermentation is a form of fermentation with propionic acid as one of the products. This process is done through the fermentation pathway of bacteria. It is used in a variety of industrial, food-making, and medical applications.
Propionic acid inhibits the growth of mold and some bacteria at levels between 0.1 and 1% by weight. As a result, some propionic acid produced is consumed as a preservative for both animal feed and food for human consumption. For animal feed, it is used either directly or as its ammonium salt. This application accounts for about half of the ...
Oxaprozin, also known as oxaprozinum, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), [2] used to relieve the inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Chemically, it is a propionic acid derivative. Safety and efficacy has been established in children over 6 years with juvenile ...
Ibuprofen was derived from propionic acid by the research arm of Boots Group during the 1960s. [73] The name is derived from the 3 functional groups: isobutyl (ibu) propionic acid (pro) phenyl (fen). [74] Its discovery was the result of research during the 1950s and 1960s to find a safer alternative to aspirin.
Loxoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the propionic acid derivatives group, which also includes ibuprofen and naproxen among others. It is available in some countries for oral administration.
Members of the genus Propionibacterium are widely used in the production of vitamin B 12, tetrapyrrole compounds, and propionic acid, as well as in the probiotics and cheese industries. [7] The strain Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii is used in cheesemaking to create CO 2 bubbles that become "eyes"—round holes in the cheese. [8]
Flurbiprofen is a member of the phenylalkanoic acid derivative family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is primarily indicated as a pre-operative anti-miotic (in an ophthalmic solution) as well as orally for arthritis or dental pain. Side effects are analogous to those of ibuprofen. [2]
F-type ATPases (Adenylpyrophosphatase ) typically use protons as the sole coupling ion, but the F 1 F 0 ATPase of Propionigenium modestum is the first discovered which uses sodium ions (Na +). [7] [8] The discovery of the ATPase in P. modestum is important because it demonstrated that the chemiosmosis theory as proposed by Peter D. Mitchell was ...
