Neutral protease pAsPs gene was obtained by sequence optimization of NpI protease from pAsPs was for the first time integrated in the genome of yeast strain T07, and then produced in a 5 L bioreactor with an enzyme yield of 150,800 U/mL of culture liquid towards casein. The specific activity of the pAsPs was 7,657,000 U/mg toward casein, 2320 U/mg toward hemoglobin, and 25,344 U/mg toward azocasein per 1 mg of the protein. The enzyme was found to be inhibited by Cu.

For accurate species-level identification of microorganisms, researchers today increasingly use a combination of standard microbiological cultivation and visual observation methods with molecular biological and genetic techniques that help distinguish between species and strains of microorganisms at the level of DNA or RNA molecules. The aim of this work was to identify microorganisms from the ICG SB RAS Collection using an integrated approach that involves a combination of various phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Key molecular-genetic and phenotypic characteristics were determined for 93 microbial strains from the ICG SB RAS Collection.

Methylotrophic yeasts have been used as the platform for expression of heterologous proteins since the 1980's. They are highly productive and allow producing eukaryotic proteins with an acceptable glycosylation level. The first Pichia pastoris-based system for expression of recombinant protein was developed on the basis of the treeexudate- derived strain obtained in the US southwest.

Article Synopsis
  • MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is an efficient method for identifying microorganisms due to its speed and accuracy, but it lacks a universal reference database for mass spectra.
  • This study implements a geometric approach to process mass spectrometry data, enabling the creation of a web-based application that improves identification methods.
  • The research shows that new algorithms, which analyze full spectra without peak-picking, achieve accuracy comparable to existing software, with resources and data made available online for further use.
