Paramylon and synthesis of its ionic derivatives: Applications as pharmaceutical tablet disintegrants and as colloid flocculants

open access: yes, 2019
Paramylon, a high molecular weight polysaccharide, is a linear and unbranched (1→3)-β-D-glucan. Despite itsnumerous biological benefits, the poor aqueous solubility of crystalline paramylon is a drawback that hashampered some of its applications.

High‐efficiency genome editing by Cas12a ribonucleoprotein complex in Euglena gracilis

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 2, February 2024.
We developed a genome editing method for Euglena gracilis using LbCas12a RNP complex. We achieved mutagenesis rates of 77.2–94.5% at two E. gracilis target genes. We also demonstrated targeted knock‐in and base editing in E. gracilis. Abstract Transgene‐free genome editing based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR ...
