Aim: To summarize the clinical characteristics and treatment effects of chlorine poisoning caused by improper mixing of hypochlorite bleach with acidic cleaning agents.
Pectin is a type of complex hydrophilic polysaccharide widely distributed in plant resources. Thermal stable pectinase has its advantage in bioapplication in the fields of food processing, brewing, and papermaking, etc. In this study, we enzymatically characterized a putative endo-polygalacturonase TcPG from a Talaromyces cellulolyticus, realized its high-level expression in Pichia pastoris by in vitro constructing of a series of multi-copy expression cassettes and real time quantitative PCR screening.
