MOLECULAR CLONING AND EVALUATION OF WILD PROMOTER IN EXPRESSION OF BACILLUS SPHAERICUS PHENYLALANINE DEHYDROGENASE GENE IN BACILLUS SUBTILIS CELLS
To evaluate the role of wild promoter of L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) gene, referred to as pdh, from Bacillus sphaericus in expression, cloning of pdh gene in Bacillus subtilis was performed. The whole pdh gene was cloned in pHY300PLK shuttle vector and amplified, construct (pHYDH) then transformed in B. subtilis ISW1214 and E. coli JM109. The pdh endogenous promoter presented no effec...
متن کاملAffinity Purification and Characterization of Recombinant Bacillus sphaericus Phenylalanine Dehydrogenase Produced by pET Expression Vector System
Cloning and expression of the L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase gene, from B. sphaericus in E. coli were done. The gene was cloned in the vector pET16b and transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The functional form of the L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase enzyme was purified by affinity purification techniques, taking advantage of the ability of this enzyme to bind to the nucleotide site affinity dye, Re...
متن کاملInflammatory pseudotumour associated with chronic persistent Eikenella corrodens infection: a case report and brief review.
Inflammatory pseudotumour is an uncommon mass forming lesion, representing the histological expression of an infective or reactive/reparative process (pseudotumour) in most cases, and a bona fide neoplasm (for example, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour) in a minority of cases. This report describes the case of an inflammatory pseudotumour with a pathology that unveiled proliferative CD68 posi...
متن کاملTubercular Mycobacterial Spindle Cell Pseudotumour: A Case Report
Pseudotumour is a benign inflammatory lesion. Mycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumour (MSP) is a rare pseudotumour. It is a benign proliferation of spindle-shaped histiocytes containing acid-fast mycobacterium, commonly reported in immunocompromised patients. MSP is usually associated with mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). Here, we present the case of a 38-year-old gentleman with acquired immu...
