β-Lactamase inhibitory protein (BLIP), a low molecular weight protein from Streptomyces clavuligerus, has a wide range of potential applications in the fields of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry because of its tight interaction with and potent inhibition on clinically important class A β-lactamases. To meet the demands for considerable amount of highly pure BLIP, this study aimed at developing an efficient expression system in eukaryotic Pichia pastoris (a methylotrophic yeast) for production of BLIP. With methanol induction, recombinant BLIP was overexpressed in P.

- Plastic waste is a significant global environmental issue, driving increased interest in biodegradable plastics.
- In this study, three Escherichia coli strains were transformed to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), with E. coli HMS174 yielding the most P(HB-HV) at 10.27 g/L and 43% PHA content.
- The research highlights the importance of selecting the right E. coli strain for effective PHA production, indicating potential industrial and medical applications for the resulting biopolymer.
