The 3D8 single chain variable fragment protein suppress infectious bronchitis virus transmission in the transgenic chickens.

Infectious bronchitis (IB) generated by the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes economic difficulties for livestock farmers. The 3D8 single chain variable fragment (scFv) protein is a recombinant antibody with nuclease activity that shows antiviral effects against various DNA and RNA viruses in mice and chickens. In this experiment, 3D8 scFv G transgenic chickens produced by crossing 3D8 scFv G transgenic rooster and wild type hens were screened by genomic PCR and immunohistochemistry analysis.

Complete Genome Sequence of sp. YGSMI21, Exhibiting High Enantioselective Epoxide Hydrolase Activity.

sp. YGSMI21 is a novel strain exhibiting high enantioselective hydrolysis activity for styrene oxide. Here, we present its complete genome sequence, consisting of one circular chromosome (3.

Complete Genome Sequence of Indigo-Producing Bacterium sp. Strain TSPH2.

sp. strain TSPH2, a novel producer of indigo, was isolated from oil-contaminated sediment. We present here its genome sequence consisting of one circular chromosome (4 Mb) and one plasmid (0.

Enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic styrene oxide and its substituted derivatives using newly-isolated Sphingopyxis sp. exhibiting a novel epoxide hydrolase activity.

(S)-Styrene oxide, (S)-2-chlorostyrene oxide (CSO), (S)-3-CSO and (S)-4-CSO with 99.9 %ee were obtained with a yield of 20.6, 39.

Identification and characterization of epoxide hydrolase activity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria for biocatalytic resolution of racemic styrene oxide and styrene oxide derivatives.

A novel epoxide hydrolase (EHase) from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading bacteria was identified and characterized. EHase activity was identified in four strains of PAH-degrading bacteria isolated from commercial gasoline and oil-contaminated sediment based on their growth on styrene oxide and its derivatives, such as 2,3- and 4-chlorostyrene oxides, as a sole carbon source.
