Transcriptome analysis moreover showed the major role of GPR8 being exerted in darkness with a considerable influence on regulation of secondary metabolism. Genes regulated in Δgpr8 overlap with those regulated directly or indirectly by the transcription factor YPR2, especially concerning genes related to secondary metabolism. this website The predicted FAD/FMN containing dehydrogenase gene sor7, one of the positive targets of the cascade triggered by GPR8, has a positive effect on secondary metabolite production, but also cellulase gene expression. Hence SOR7 has some overlapping, but also additional functions compared to GPR8. The G-protein coupled receptor GPR8 exerts a light dependent impact on secondary metabolism, which is in part mediated by the transcription factor YPR2 and the function of SOR7. Hence, T. reesei may apply GPR8 to adjust production of secondary metabolites and hence chemical communication to signals from the environment.Cellobiose lipids (CL) are extracellular glycolipids that are produced by many microorganisms from the family Ustilaginaceae. The sugarcane smut fungus Sporisorium scitamineum has been long known as a producer of the glycolipids mannosylerythritol lipids (MEL) and was recently described to additionally secrete CL as a byproduct. In fact, we identified 11 homologous genes in S. scitamineum by in silico analysis sharing a high similarity to the CL biosynthesis gene cluster of Ustilago maydis. We here report the first systematic cultivation of S. scitamineum targeting the synthesis of CL with high product titers and its transfer to the bioreactor. In an initial screening we examined different fermentation media compositions, consisting of a mineral salts solution with vitamins and/or trace elements, three carbon sources (glucose, fructose, sucrose), three pH values (2.5, 4.0, 6.7) and three levels of C/N values (42.2, 83.8, 167.2 molC⋅molN-1) with urea as nitrogen source. A pH of 2.5 proved to result in the high lipids precipitate as needle like crystals at an acidic pH value of 2.5. The aim of the study was to examine the kinematics and kinetics of sprint running and countermovement jump performance between the ages of 8-9, and 11-12 years old boys in order to understand the developmental plateau in performance. 18 physically active boys (Age 10.1 ± 1.6), in an under 9 years old (U9) and an under 12 years old (U12) group performed 15 m sprints and countermovement jumps. A 3D motion analysis system (200 Hz), synchronized with four force platforms (1,000 Hz), was used to collect kinematic and kinetic data during the first stance phase of the sprint run and the countermovement jump. The U12 group had a significantly greater height (U9 1.364 ± 0.064 m; U12 1.548 ± 0.046 mm), larger mass (U9 30.9 ± 3.5 kg; U12 43.9 ± 5.0 kg), superior sprint performance over 0-5 m (U9 1.31 ± 0.007 s; U12 1.23 ± 0.009 s) and 0-15 m (U9 3.20 ± 0.17 s; U12 3.01 ± 0.20 s), and increased jump height (U9 0.17 ± 0.06 m; U12 0.24 ± 0.10 m) than the under nine group. During the first stance phase of the sprint tkinematics for the countermovement jump were significantly different between age groups for the ankle range of motion (U9 80.6 ± 17.4°; U12 64.1 ± 9°) and knee minimum joint angle (U9 -5.7 ± 3.9°; U12 0.0 ± 4.4°). Conclusion The study demonstrates for the first time that the development of physically active boys between the ages of 8-9 to 11-12 years increased the ground reaction forces and impulses during sprint running and countermovement jumps, but that sprint running technique had not developed during this period. Furthermore, countermovement jump technique was still emerging at the age of 8-9 years old. Practitioners need to implement on-going fine-grained sprint running and CMJ technique sessions to ensure that the increased force producing capabilities that come with age are appropriately utilized.Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are traditionally used in fermentation and food p
