Expression and characterization of Momordica Chanrantia anti-hyperglycaemic peptide in Escherichia coli.

A nucleic acid sequence MC, encoding Momordica Chanrantia anti-hyperglycaemic peptide MC6 (accession: AAX06814) synthesized according to Escherichia coli preferred codons, was cloned and expressed in E. coli. Recombinant protein pQE8-MC (about 3.

Isolation and algae-lysing characteristics of the algicidal bacterium B5.

Water blooms have become a worldwide environmental problem. Recently, algicidal bacteria have attracted wide attention as possible agents for inhibiting algal water blooms. In this study, one strain of algicidal bacterium B5 was isolated from activated sludge.

Alga-lysing bioreactor and dominant bacteria strain.

Alga-lysing bacteria have been paid much attention to in recent years. In this study, the alga-lysing strain P05 which was isolated from an immobilizing biosystem was immobilized by coke and elastic filler, forming two biological reactors. The removal efficiencies of algae, NH4(+)-N and organic matter using the two reactors were studied.

Degradation characteristics of two Bacillus strains on the Microcystis aeruginosa.

The degradation kinetics of strains P05 and P07 and the degradation effects of mixed strain on Microcystis aeruginosa were studied. The results showed that: (1) The degradation processes of strains P05 and P07 on Microcystis aeruginosa accorded with the first-order reaction model when the range of Chl-a concentration was from 0 to 1500 microg/L. (2) The initial bacterium densities had a strong influence on the degradation velocity.
