In the majority of the methods for purifying and concentrating recombinant adenoviruses (rAds) the virus that is associated with the helper cells is harvested, while the virus that is present in the cell-culture medium is discarded. During routine propagation of adenovirus type-5 vectors at optimised conditions we noted that, on average, 47% of the total amount of virus is present in the culture medium. To recover and concentrate these rAds from the medium, we devised a method, which is based on ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) precipitation. At 40% (NH4)2SO4 saturation, 95 +/- 6% of the available virus precipitates from the medium, while the majority of the protein (85%) remains in solution. In contrast to adenovirus precipitation with polyethylene glycol, the (NH4)2SO4 precipitation technique allows collection of precipitated rAds by filtration. We demonstrate here that (NH4)2SO4 precipitation of rAds from cell-culture medium is a simple and fast technique that can be used in combination with standard virus isolation methods to increase the yields of rAds.

This study explores the extraction of proteins from edible insects such as Tenebrio molitor, Acheta domesticus, and Locusta migratoria using alkaline extraction and acid precipitation (AEAP) as a control method and evaluates the influence of salting-in (NaCl-assisted), salting-out ((NH₄)₂SO₄), and combined salting-in/out techniques on the resulting protein quality and functional properties. We hypothesized that salt-assisted methods would enhance protein extraction efficiency and functionality compared to AEAP. Molecular size distribution analysis confirmed that the salting-out method preferentially aggregated smaller proteins (<30 kDa).

In this study, NaCl (salting-in) and (NH4)SO (salting-out) treatments were employed in alkaline extraction and acid precipitation procedures, respectively, to enhance the extraction of Tenebrio molitor larvae protein isolates (TPIs). The in vitro digestibility, rheological properties, biological activities, and proteomic analysis of TPIs were investigated. The results showed that salting-in treatment did not result in significant differences (P > 0.

Background: Microecological equilibrium is essential for human health. Previous research has demonstrated that Streptococcus strain A, the main bacterial group in the respiratory tract, can suppress harmful microbes and protect the body. In this study, Streptococcus strain D19 was isolated from the oral and pharyngeal cavities of healthy children.

The depletion of nutrient sources in fertilizers demands a paradigm shift in the treatment of nutrient-rich wastewater, such as urine, to enable efficient resource recovery and high-value conversion. This study presented an integrated bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) and hollow fiber membrane (HFM) system for near-complete resource recovery and zero-discharge from urine treatment. Computational simulations and experimental validations demonstrated that a higher voltage (20 V) significantly enhanced energy utilization, while an optimal flow rate of 0.

Human superoxide dismutase (hSOD1) plays an important role in the aerobic metabolism and free radical eliminating process in the body. However, the production of existing SOD faces problems such as complex purification methods, high costs, and poor product stability. This experiment achieved low-cost, rapid, and simple purification of hSOD1 through ammonium sulfate precipitation method and heat resistance of recombinant protein.
