Farm animals are frequently affected by a group of diseases with a rapid clinical course, caused by Clostridium spp. and immunization is essential to provide protection. However, the current manufacturing platform for these vaccines has disadvantages and the main alternative is the use of an expression system that uses Escherichia coli to obtain recombinant vaccine antigens. In this chapter we describe procedures for cloning, expression and characterization of recombinant toxins from Clostridium spp. produced in E. coli for veterinary vaccine applications.

Article Synopsis
- Butanol is identified as a valuable second-generation biomass energy source, but its production faces challenges like toxicity to fermentation strains and high feedstock costs.
- The study focuses on enhancing butanol tolerance and production in the strain Clostridium beijerinckii D9 through metabolic engineering, leading to the development of a more efficient strain, D9/pykA.
- Results showed that the new strain achieved a significant increase in butanol and total solvent production compared to the original strain, with optimal conditions boosting yield and revealing mechanisms to improve fermentation efficiency.

Lymphoma is the most common neoplasia in the intestine of cats. According to ACVIM consensus statement, low-grade intestinal T-cell lymphoma (LGITCL) represents a monomorphic infiltration of the lamina propria or epithelium or both of cats with small, mature, neoplastic (clonal) T lymphocytes. Despite the importance as contributing factors of inheritance and environment in the pathogenesis of LGITCL, the chronic inflammatory status plays a fundamental role.

Background: Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin are reduced by coadministering psyllium (PI).
Objectives: To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it in divided doses would mimic the effect of PI. Primary endpoint was the BH area under the curve AUC.
