Abstract

A new strain of Bacillus, Bacillus cereus SPV, was found to be capable of using a wide range of carbon sources for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) (Valappil et al. 2007b). Limiting nutrient in the culture conditions is crucial for PHA production. In this study, B. cereus SPV was grown in different culture conditions with limitation of potassium, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorous to establish the impact of nutritional limitation on PHA production. The PHA yields obtained were found to be 13.4, 38, 13.15 and 33.33% dcw for potassium, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus limitations, respectively. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the isolated polymers showed the presence of P(3HB) under nitrogen, sulphur and phosphate-limiting conditions and P(3HB-3HV) copolymer under potassium limiting conditions. This ability of B. cereus SPV to accumulate different PHA monomers from structurally unrelated carbon sources led to an interest in the molecular analysis of PHA biosynthesis in this organism. To achieve this, PCR was used to identify the polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthetic genes in B. cereus SPV. Sequence analysis of the PCR products from B. cereus SPV revealed the sequence of the putative biosynthetic genes, a...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
