Induction and Enhancement of Bacteriocin Production (Review)

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conventionally, bacteriocins are produced by microorganisms on complex substrates, released as semi‐purified preparations or crude fermentates. These bacteriocin‐containing products often exhibit unsatisfactory purity, low active‐substance content, and high production costs, limiting their commercialization and use. This review aims to analyze

Antibody kinetics against tetanus toxoid before and after primary vaccination of foals

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Vaccination recommendations for foals against Clostridium tetani vary. Available studies assessing foal immune responses, maternal antibody interference, or individual variation often used small foal numbers. Objectives To quantify antibody responses after tetanus vaccination in foals and explore associations with passively ...
