The amounts of acetaldehyde produced by the yoghurt bacteria are small, in the range of 5 to 10 ppm [parts per million]. Recent studies in our laboratory show a five- to ten-fold increase in acetaldehyde production as a result of extra added threonine . . . to the growth medium, an almost linear relationship between the level of acetaldehyde produced during milk fermentation and the threonine aldolase activity measured in different Streptococcus thermophilus strains. This clearly shows the importance of this enzyme in flavour formation in yoghurt.

[...] les LTC (lymphocytes T cytotoxiques) pourraient intervenir dans la résistance au paludisme en détruisant les cellules infectées avant que les manifestations cliniques apparaissent. Pour tester cette hypothèse, les chercheurs ont synthétisé 70 peptides longs de 8 à 10 acides aminés et correspondant à des fragments de quatre antigènes plasmodiaux: LSA-1 (liver stage antigen 1), TRAP (thrombospondin related anonymous protein) et STARP (sporozoite threonine and asparagine rich protein).
