Published: September 1999

Streptomyces chrysomallus produces a 17.5-kDa cyclophilin (CypA) as a major cytosolic protein. Northern blotting of total RNA from S. chrysomallus showed that cypA is transcribed as a monocistronic 500-nt transcript during the vegetative growth phase only. Consistently, Western blot analysis and enzyme activity determinations revealed a high level of CypA which declined drastically when cultures entered postexponential phase. Primer extension experiments revealed that cypA is transcribed as a leaderless transcript with the startpoint of transcription and translation being the same AUG codon. Analysis of -10 and -35 regions revealed an EohrdB-specific promoter consensus sequence in accordance with the observed transcription during vegetative growth of cultures. The leaderless cypA mRNA sequence between codons 5 to 12 shows complementarity to an internal antidownstream box of 16S rRNA of Streptomyces lividans. This may indicate a possible interaction of the leaderless cypA transcript with the 16S mRNA in translation initiation.

Silk, traditionally acclaimed as the "queen of fiber," has been widely used thanks to its brilliant performance such as gentleness, smoothness and comfortableness. Owing to its mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility silk has a definitive role in biomedical applications, both as fibroin and fabric. In this work, the simultaneous dyeing and functionalization of silk fabric with pigments from BV365 were investigated.

Low availability of phosphorus (P) in both acidic and alkaline soils is a major problem for sustainable improvement in wheat crops yield. Optimization of crops productivity can be achieved by increasing the bioavailability of P by phosphate solubilizing (PSA). However, their effectiveness may vary with changing agro-climatic conditions.

Production, purification, and characterization of inulinase from Streptomyces anulatus.

J Basic Microbiol

Department of Biology, Functional Ecology and Environmental Engineering Laboratory, University Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah, Fez, Morocco.

Inulinase is an enzyme that catalyzes inulin to d-fructose. This enzyme can be extracted from plants, but it is difficult to obtain it in large quantities, so its production cost is high. Therefore, microbial inulinase has great potential for industrial needs.

The principal aim of this study was to determine bacterial diversity within the Cave Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, via culturable and non-culturable approaches, and elucidate the antifungal potential of autochthonous antagonistic bacterial isolates against biodeteriogenic fungi. Furthermore, whole-genome sequencing of selected bacterial antagonists and the analysis of genes included in the synthesis of secondary metabolites were performed.

Strain RHZ10 was isolated from an oak rhizosphere sampled in Reims, France, and characterized to assess its taxonomy. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain RHZ10 was affiliated to the genus and the closest species were NRRL B-2000 and ch24. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were 77.
