Biochemical and genetic characterization of halobacterium salinarium strain isolated from Tuz Lake in central Anatolia
Çakıcı, Özgür; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biochemistry (2004)
In this study, a halophilic archaea Halobacterium salinarium TG13 which is isolated from Tuz Lake in Central Anatolia was characterized biochemically and genetically. Halobacterium salinarium DSM3754 and Halobacterium salinarium S9 strains were used as a reference strain through the experiments. In biochemical characterization; total protein profiles of strains was compared by using 1D SDS PAGE. Total protein profile of the isolated strain has shown differences. The SDS-PAGE profile of the purified purple m...
Release and characterization of beta-galactosidase from lactobacillus plantarum
Kara, Fırat; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
The enzyme, β-galactosidase (E.C.3.2.1.23) has been used for dairy industry for removing lactose from milk and milk by-products. In this study, three strains namely L. plantarum NCIMB 1193, L. plantarum DSM 20246 and L. plantarum E081 were used for β-galactosidase release by sonication method. The peak of the total enzyme activity was found to be corresponding to late logarithmic or early stationary phase of all strains. As a disruption method sonication was used for the release of β-galactosidase. Meanwhil...
Prediction of protein subcellular localization based on primary sequence data
Özarar, Mert; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
Subcellular localization is crucial for determining the functions of proteins. A system called prediction of protein subcellular localization (P2SL) that predicts the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotic organisms based on the amino acid content of primary sequences using amino acid order is designed. The approach for prediction is to nd the most frequent motifs for each protein in a given class based on clustering via self organizing maps and then to use these most frequent motifs as features...
Partial purification and characterization of neutral trehalase from commercial baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yarar, S; Hamamcı, Haluk; Bakir, U (2000-12-01)
The neutral trehalase of a commercial baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) strain has been partially purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography techniques. Trehalase was precipitated between 35-50% ammonium sulfate saturation and approximately 5-8 fold purification was achieved. The yeast cAMP-dependent protein kinase was also precipitated in the same fraction and these two proteins were separated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Trehalase became totally inactive...
Behaviour and control of listeria innocua during manufacture and storage of Turkish white cheese
Öztürkoğlu, Şebnem; Gürakan, Candan; Department of Food Engineering (2004)
Growth and survival of L. innocua and TAC in artificially inoculated Turkish White Cheese during manufacturing and storage periods, with respect to different level of contamination of L. innocua were investigated. Cheese products were manufactured by the short-set procedure in pilot-plant-sized vats, as in AOÇ dairy factory. Pasteurized cow̕s milk was inoculated with L. innocua for obtaining the initial loads of 3.84 and 7.12 log CFU/ml. Bacterial load of inoculated milk, whey, post-ripened curd and post-sa...
