A rapid and simple method of staining for the crystal protein (δ-endotoxin or parasporal body) ofBacillus thuringiensis has been developed. Changes in colonial morphology were observed when cells lost their ability to form crystal protein or both crystal protein and spore.

Single-step purification of recombinant Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase using DNA-aptamer immobilized novel affinity magnetic beads Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Ozalp, V. Cengiz; Arica, M. Yakup (Wiley, 2007-01-01) A DNA aptamer specific for Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase (Taq-polymerase) was immobilized on magnetic beads, which were prepared in the presented study. The effect of various parameters including pH, temperaturem and aptamer concentration on the immobilization of 5'-thiol labeled DNA-aptamer onto glutaric dialdhyde activated magnetic beads was evaluated. The binding conditions of Taq-polymerase on the aptamer immobilized magnetic beads were studied using commercial Taq-polymerase to characterize the surf...
Targeted disruption of homoserine dehydrogenase gene and its effect on cephamycin C production in Streptomyces clavuligerus Yilmaz, Ebru I.; Caydasi, Ayse K.; Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-01-01) The aspartate pathway of Streptomyces clavuligerus is an important primary metabolic pathway which provides substrates for beta-lactam synthesis. In this study, the hom gene which encodes homoserine dehydrogenase was cloned from the cephamycin C producer S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 and characterized. The fully sequenced open reading frame encodes 433 amino acids with a deduced M (r) of 44.9 kDa. The gene was heterologously expressed in the auxotroph mutant Escherichia coli CGSC 5075 and the recombinant protei...
Analysis of acyl CoA ester intermediates of the mevalonate pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Şeker, Tamay; Nielsen, J (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01) The mevalonate pathway plays an important role in providing the cell with a number of essential precursors for the synthesis of biomass constituents. With respect to their chemical structure, the metabolites of this pathway can be divided into two groups: acyl esters [acetoacetyl CoA, acetyl CoA, hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG) CoA] and phosphorylated metabolites (isopentenyl pyrophosphate, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, geranyl pyrophosphate, farnesyl pyrophosphate). In this study, we developed a method for the ...
Purification, characterization, and identification of a novel bifunctional catalase-phenol oxidase from Scytalidium thermophilum Kocabas, Didem Sutay; Bakir, Ufuk; Phillips, Simon E. V.; McPherson, Michael J.; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01) A novel bifunctional catalase with an additional phenol oxidase activity was isolated from a thermophilic fungus, Scytalidium thermophilum. This extracellular enzyme was purified ca. 10-fold with 46% yield and was biochemically characterized. The enzyme contains heme and has a molecular weight of 320 kDa with four 80 kDa subunits and an isoelectric point of 5.0. Catalase and phenol oxidase activities were most stable at pH 7.0. The activation energies of catalase and phenol oxidase activities of the enzyme ...
Human growth hormone-specific aptamer identification using improved oligonucleotide ligand evolution method Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, Tuncer H. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) LETEG is a method developed and used for the separation and purification of proteins employing a single-step ligand (aptamers) evolution in which aptamers are eluted with an increasing temperature gradient. Using recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) as the test purification target, and after avoiding cross reactions of aptamers with Bacillus subtilis extracellular proteins by negative SELEX, the effects of time and pH on aptamer binding to rhGH were investigated. The highest binding efficiency of aptamer...
