Resistant for Biodegradation of Diesel Fuel at High Concentration and Low Temperature.

The resistance of 16 strains to diesel fuel was studied. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of diesel fuel against were 4.0-64.

Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for enhanced taxadiene production.

Background: Metabolic engineering enables the sustainable and cost-efficient production of complex chemicals. Efficient production of terpenes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be achieved by recruiting an intermediate of the mevalonate pathway. The present study aimed to evaluate the engineering strategies of S.

Bioinformatics Analysis of the Genome of IEGM 1362, an (-)-Isopulegol Biotransformer.

A genome of IEGM 1362 was sequenced and annotated. This strain can transform monoterpene alcohol (-)-isopulegol with the formation of two novel pharmacologically promising metabolites. Nine genes encoding cytochrome P450, presumably involved in (-)-isopulegol transformation, were found in the genome of IEGM 1362.

Draft genome sequence of propane- and butane-oxidizing IEGM 333 able to accumulate cesium.

A genome of IEGM 333 was sequenced and annotated. This bacterium had pronounced propane- and butane-oxidizing and cesium-accumulating activities. The obtained sequence could be used to reveal the genetic mechanisms of these activities and efficiently exploit the biotechnological potential of propanotrophic .

Structure, Physicochemical Properties and Biological Activity of Lipopolysaccharide from the Rhizospheric Bacterium T1Kr02, Containing d-Fucose Residues.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are major components of the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. In this work, the structure of the O-polysaccharide of T1Kr02 was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and the physical-chemical properties and biological activity of LPS were also investigated. The NMR analysis showed that the O-polysaccharide has the following structure: →2)-β-d-Fuc-(1→3)-β-d-Fuc-(1→.
