Many expression systems in research and industry use plasmids as vectors for the production of recombinant proteins or non-proteinous recombinant substances. Plasmids have an essential impact on… (More)
Aptamers are short single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that can bind to a wide range of target molecules with high affinity and specificity. As nucleic acids, aptamers can undergo… (More)
Cultivation conditions for the extracellular production of a hybrid β-glucanase from Bacillus were established by using Escherichiacoli JM109 carrying the plasmid pLF3. This plasmid contained a novel… (More)
The use of Escherichia coli as a model organism has provided a great deal of basic information in biomolecular sciences. Examining trait differences among closely related strains of the same species… (More)
Production of nucleic acids as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in gene therapy and genetic vaccination is gaining more and more importance. Non-viral vectors like plasmid DNA are currently… (More)
Exploitation of recombinant organisms for the large-scale, commercial production of foreign proteins is often hampered by the problem of plasmid instability. A wide range of strategies have been… (More)
Fermentation industries would benefit from on-line monitoring of important parameters describing cell growth such as cell density and viability during fermentation processes. For this purpose, an in… (More)
Aiming to facilitate the accessibility of recombinant proteins produced with Escherichia coli, extracellular expression may be achieved by means of bacteriocin release protein (BRP) coexpression.… (More)
The gene for phytase from Escherichia coli was sequenced and compared with the appA gene. It was found to be a mutant derivative of the appA gene. After fusion with a C-terminal His-tag, phytase was… (More)
Human Fas ligand (hFasL) is of considerable interest since it is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that induces programmed cell death, or apoptosis. In this study Dictyostelium discoideum was used… (More)
