Bacterial Sterilization Using Cavitating Jet
In this paper, a new sterilization method using cavitating flow is presented. Water with bacteria was pressurized up to 105 MPa and flushed out through two very small nozzles 0.1-0.31 mm in diameter, where a cavitating jet was generated containing ...

GntR family of regulators in : a sequence and structure based characterization [PDF]
Background Mycobacterium smegmatis is fast growing non-pathogenic mycobacteria. This organism has been widely used as a model organism to study the biology of other virulent and extremely slow growing species like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Based on the

Ectopic sodium channel expression decreases excitability of Drosophila Kenyon cells
Abstract figure legend: We tested the effects of expressing the bacterial voltage‐gated sodium channel NaChBac in the Kenyon cells of the Drosophila memory centre, the mushroom body. NaChBac expression decreases expression of endogenous voltage‐gated sodium channels (left), reduces action potential firing (upper) and prevents learning (lower). However,

Characterization of thermophilic β-Glucosidase of rhizospheric bacterial strain (LSKB15) isolated from Cholistan Desert, Pakistan [PDF]
Fifty thermophilic bacterial strains isolated from rhizospheric soil of Cholistan desert, Pakistan, and designated as LSKB01-LSKB50 were screened for β-glucosidase gene (bgl) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH 1) using PCR technique ...

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the chitinase gene from the Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus [PDF]
A putative chitinase gene was identified within the fragment EcoRI-K of the Helicoverpa armigera single-nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV, also called HaSNPIV) genome.

Abstract The use of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this review is the 12th update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2022.

Extremophilic Microorganisms as a Source of Emerging Enzymes for the Food Industry: A Review
Enzymes such as amylases, lipases, proteases, xylanases, laccases, pullulanase, chitinases, pectinases, esterases, isomerases, and dehydrogenases could be derived from extremophilic organisms like thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, alkaliphiles, and halophiles. These enzymes or extremozymes are applicable in the production of safe foods (such as

Current Understanding of Feather Keratin and Keratinase and Their Applications in Biotechnology
The food industry generates substantial keratin waste, particularly chicken feathers, which are rich in amino acids and essential nutrients. However, the insolubility of keratin presents a significant challenge to its conversion. Keratinase, an enzyme produced by certain fungi and bacteria, offers a promising solution by degrading feather keratin into ...
