Alanine (2-aminopropanoic acid) is non-polar, neutral, alpha-amino acid with aliphatic residue.
Alanine is present in L and D configurations. L-alanine is widely distributed as a constituent of protein in all organisms,
while D alanine has been found in some tissues of crustaceans. Additionally, beta-alanine (3-aminopropanoic acid) is present in
the skeletal muscle of vertebrates.
Fermentative production of alanine was reported from molasses with Microbacterim ammoniaphilum mutant strain resistant to
arginine hydroxamate. Beta-Alanine can be produced from L-aspartate by cloning and expression of bacterial L- aspartate-?-decarboxylase enzyme in E. coli.
Red algal species belonging to the genus Porphyra and Gracilaria are particularly rich source of free alanine.
Alanine content varies with the phases of the life cycle of red algae. Alanine concentration was observed highest in blade form of Porphyra species rather than in conchocelis.
The distinct umami flavour of seaweed is caused by the presence of free amino acids including alanine.
Beta-alanine is a common ingredient in sports nutritional formulations because the beta-alanine supplementation leads to improved muscle buffering and
reduced muscular fatigue by increasing the biosynthesis of muscle carnosine peptide.

Celignis to Sponsor and Present at Major Biochar Event
The event takes place on May 3rd at Carrick-on-Shannon
We are pleased to announce that, on May 3rd, Celignis will be presenting and exhibiting at the National Biochar and Carbon Products Conference 2023, which is taking place in Carrick-on-Shannon in County Leitrm, Ireland.
This conference is being organised under the auspices of the Interreg Northwest Europe-funded THREE C Project, entitled 'Creating and sustaining Charcoal value chains to promote a Circular Carbon economy in NWE Europe'.
The conference will highlight both Irish stakeholders who are currently working in the biochar and carbon products sector, but also partners from the THREE C project (covering Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, France and Wales, as well as Ireland) who have interesting stories and products to share.

This 5 minute presentation was given at the recent IBioIC conference
Celignis recently exhibited at IBioiC's annual conference, held in Glasgow on June 6-7.
During that event Lalitha, Celignis's CIO, gave a short 5 minute presentation on the EnXylaScope collaborative EU research project that Celignis is involved in.
