Abstract: An absorbent article can have a topsheet layer, a liquid impermeable layer, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet layer and the liquid impermeable layer. The absorbent article can further include an exudate management layer in fluid communication with the topsheet layer. In various embodiments, the exudate management layer can be positioned on a body facing surface of the topsheet layer. In various embodiments, the exudate management layer can be positioned between the topsheet layer and the absorbent core. The exudate management layer has a first component which defines an opening for direct passage of body exudates into the absorbent core. The exudate management layer has a second component which at least partially overlaps the first component of the exudate management layer and further extends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article in a direction towards the posterior region of the absorbent article.

Abstract: A novel E. coli (KCCM 10,013) which can produce high yields of L-phenylalanine and a method for production of L-phenylalanine by recombinant E. coli which may be transformed with a novel plasmid pMW16 containing two promoters and a temperature-sensitive repressor for expressing a pheA gene and an aroF gene wherein chorismate mutase p-prephenate dehydratase is coded for by the pheA gene and 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate.7-phosphate synthase is coded for by the aroF gene.
