In this study, strawberry fruit was taken as the studied model. An attempt was carried on trying to identify a unique DNA fingerprint in each of the selected different strawberry cultivars of Fragaria x ananassa Duch species available in Turkey. The basis of the study was to examine the fruit characteristics at the molecular level rather than at the morphological level. It is of great importance to differentiate and trace the origin of any variety by examining its DNA by using a very sophisticated molecular technique. In this case, DNA fingerprinting technique depending on the Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) markers which are also called Microsatellite markers were used. DNA fingerprinting technique reveals the specific DNA profile which is unique as a fingerprint for a fruit specimen and this DNA profile is the same and constant throughout different parts of the fruit as well as its developmental stages. In this thesis work, nine primers flanking the SSR markers already available in the online databases were designed hoping to detect SSRs that could differentiate among the five selected cultivars of strawberry.

Development of PCR methods for detection and quantification of genetically modified maize Jabbari Farhoud, Houman; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2010) This study describes development of methods for screening, identification and quantification of genetic modifications in maize samples. Totally 88 maize samples were collected randomly throughout Turkey in three years from 2006 to 2008 and were analyzed. Two maize samples that were detected as GM positive in previous studies were selected as positive controls. Following the DNA extraction by manual CTAB method, conventional PCR methods were employed for screening of genetic modifications in samples by detec...
Growth of agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. and Azotobacter Chroococcum on beer waste and observation of their survival in peat Abat, Benek; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2006) In this study agriculturally important Pseudomonas spp. which may solubilize phosphate and Azotobacter chroococcum which can fix atmospheric nitrogen were grown on waste beer with 4 different concentrations and conditions for best growth were determined. Having potential of use as biofertilizers, they were put in the carrier material peat and survivals of them were observed for 3 months at three different temperatures. Biofertilizer can be defined as a substance which contains living microorganisms which, w...
Co-production of xylanase and itaconic acid by aspergillus terreus nrrl 1960 on agricultural biomass and biochemical characterization of xylanase Kocabaş, Aytaç; Bakır, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2010) Production of xylanase and itaconic acid (IA) from Aspergillus terreus NRRL 1960 from agricultural residues was investigated in this study. Two different media were tested and the medium having itaconic acid inducing capacity was chosen for further studies due to its high xylanase and IA production capacity. The best xylan concentration was found as 2% (w/v). Addition of commercial xylanase to production culture resulted in higher initial simple sugar concentration which increased IA production slightly but...
Molecular cloning and co-expression of Thermoplasma volcanium proteasome subunit genes Kocabıyık, Semra; Zwickl, Peter; Ozdogan, Seda (Elsevier BV, 2010-10-01) In this study we describe, the construction of a co-expression vector allowing simultaneous production of Thermoplasma volcanium 20S proteasome alpha- and beta-subunits in Escherichia coli. This heterologous expression system provided high level production of fully active 205 proteasome that can be purified easily by using a conventional two-step chromatographic technique. The recombinant proteasome was purified to homogeneity 12-fold with a specific activity of 26.5 U/mg. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylam...
Effects of pH and feeding strategy on metabolite profiling of beta-lactamase producing bacillus licheniformis İler, Nazar; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005) In this study, the effects of pH and different feeding modes on beta-lactamase production and cell metabolism were investigated with Bacillus licheniformis (ATCC 25972). For this purpose, first, the effects of pH on beta-lactamase activity, cell formation, substrate consumption, as well as intracellular sodium, potassium, ammonium ion, amino acid and organic acid concentrations were investigated in V= 3.0 dm3 batch bioreactors consisting of temperature, pH, foam, stirring rate and dissolved oxygen controls....
