in the detergent industry. In this study, the extracellular alkaline serine protease gene, aprE, from Bacillusclausii was amplified by PCR and further cloned and expressed in B. subtilis WB600 using the pWB980 expression vector. Protease activity of the recombinant B. subtilis WB600 harboring the plasmid pWB980/aprEreached up to 1020 U/ml, approximately 3-folds higher than the nativ...

this study was conducted to detect polymorphism of gene bmp15, a member of transforming growthfactor β (tgfβ) family which has a crucial role in controlling the ovarian follicles development,ovulation rate and fertility. samples were randomly selected from 91 najdi goats in 3 geographicallocations, northwest, southeast and center of khuzestan province. after dna extraction, amplification of235 ...

Background and Aims: Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most destructive viruses of tomato that leads to reduced tomato yield up to 100% in tropical and subtropical regions. In this study, the complete sequence of TYLCV isolate from Hormozgan province, Iran and its recombination evsent was determined. Methods: TYLCV infected tomato was collected from Hormozgan province. Total D...

background and objectives: significant progress has been made in treatment of hemophilia. ex-vivo gene therapy is going popular due to the capability of this method in using isogenic cells for genetic manipulation and reintroducing them into same host after proliferation. most gene therapy techniques use viral vectors, which usually harbor a strong and non-specific promoter (e.g. cmv early prom...

Avian infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease that mainly causes respiratory symptoms in poultry. A number of serotypes and variants of the viral agent with poor cross-protection are the major problem to achieve desired immunity from vaccination. The S1 subunit of S glycoprotein (spike) is the major determinant of IBV so that a minor change in amino acid sequence of this...

Detection of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been reported from commercial chicken farms in different provinces of Iran. In some reports the phylogenetic analysis of MS isolates based on 16S rRNA and variable lipoprotein hemagglutinin (vlhA) genes have been carried out. The PCR product containing partial 16S rRNA genes of Iranain isolates was sequence...

background: several methods have been developed for detection of sequence variation in genes and each has its advantages and disadvantages. a disadvantage of them is that the simpler, cost-effective methods are commonly perceived as being less sensitive in their detection of sequence variation, whereas those with proven sensitivity have a requirement for complex or expensive laboratory equipmen...

trichophyton rubrum is an anthropophilic fungus causing up to 90% of chronic cases of dermatophytosis. several properties of this fungus have been investigated so far. however, a few studies were carried out in the field of molecular biology of this fungus. in the present study, we tried to identify the subunit g of its vacuolar atpase (v-atpase). pairs of 21 nt primers were designed from highl...

objective(s) in addition to several molecular methods and in particular 16s rdna analysis, the application of a more discriminatory genetic marker, i.e., 16s-23s internal transcribed spacer gene sequence has had a great impact on identification and classification of mycobacteria. in the current study we aimed to apply this sequencing power to conclusive identification of some iranian clinical s...
