Choline dehydrogenase of E. coli catalyses the first step in the synthesis of betaine, the oxidation of choline. |
High levels of betaine are found in shellfish, spinach, wheat germ and mushrooms. |
Many plant species accumulating betaine inhabit saline and arid areas and accumulate the compound in response to drought and salinity. |
In the Duke experiments, pregnant mice that received dietary supplements with vitamin B12, folic acid, choline and betaine gave birth to babies predominantly with brown coats. |
Adding DMSO or betaine, or using higher reaction temperatures, did not improve sequencing quality. |
How about betaine hydrochloride, 600 mg, one tablet with each meal? |
