Intein as a Novel Strategy for Protein Purification
Inteins are parts of proteins that cut themselves out of the whole protein entirely on their own. An important development in the area of recombinant protein purification has been the incorporation of self-cleaving protein elements into a variety of fusion-based purification systems. Inteins appear most frequently in Archaea, but they are found in organisms belonging to all three domains of lif...
متن کاملExploring bacterial interspecific interactions for discovery of novel antimicrobial compounds
Recent studies indicated that the production of secondary metabolites by soil bacteria can be triggered by interspecific interactions. However, little is known to date about interspecific interactions between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we aimed to understand how the interspecific interaction between the Gram-positive Paenibacillus sp. AD87 and the Gram-negative Bur...
متن کاملNatural Antimicrobial Compounds as Meat Preservatives
Current trends in consumer interests indicate an increasing demand for the use of natural preservatives in foods. Meat products, which are highly perishable and carry risks of food-borne pathogens, have been preserved in a variety of ways, including via the use of organic acids, nitrites/nitrates, and modified atmosphere packaging. Certain natural antimicrobials have been shown to be effective ...
متن کاملBiological activity of Pinus nigra terpenes - Evaluation of FtsZ inhibition by selected compounds as contribution to their antimicrobial activity
In the current work, in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activites of the needle terpenes of three taxa of Pinus nigra from Serbia (ssp. nigra, ssp. pallasiana, and var. banatica) were analyzed. The black pine essential oils showed generally weak antioxidative properties tested by two methods (DPPH and ABTS scavenging assays), where the highest activity was identified in P. nigr...
متن کاملHistone deacetylase inhibition as an alternative strategy against invasive aspergillosis
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a life-threatening infection due to Aspergillus fumigatus and other Aspergillus spp. Drugs targeting the fungal cell membrane (triazoles, amphotericin B) or cell wall (echinocandins) are currently the sole therapeutic options against IA. Their limited efficacy and the emergence of resistance warrant the identification of new antifungal targets. Histone deacetylase...
