...hemical mutagenesis. The wild-type was simultaneously treated with different concentration of EMS and MMS. Among 13 mutant variants, EM-7 showing maximum lipase activity of 71±3.55 U/g, was selected. Resistance in the hyper producing strain was developed by exposing it with low levels of L-cysteine HCl to protect it from instability. It was observed that under optimum conditions at 30°C temperature, pH 7, and incubation period 64 h, the lipase activ...

The antioxidant activity of HGQ was investigated by determining reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, paraquat-stress survival rate, malondialdehyde (MDA) content as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities.We observed ...

Pigmentation Genome Influence in Animals and Human Interventions in its Course of Action
...ed coat color and the E+ wild-type allele give a variety of colors. Variation in pigment production can be predicted with mutations on genetic asset and production factors. The human desire of keeping variated colored animals advanced the genetic field as in many species (sheep, cattle, horses, camels, dogs, cats, pigs) new variants of coat pigmentation are achieved by generating mutation in MC1R and ASIP allele. A row of scientists is working on genome sequen...

...ons of the G-Rh2-treated wild-type embryos were performed to evaluate the toxicity of the compound. Tg(fli1-EGFP) transgenic zebrafish with fluorescent blood vessels were studied to evaluate vascular development defects. G-Rh2 treatment up to 84.85 μM did not induce morphological defects in zebrafish. We observed suppression effect of angiogenesis by G-Rh2 in inhibiting intersegmental vessel formation from 30 to 84.85 μM in a dose-dependent...

...75 dpf). Compared to the wild-type (WT) siblings, the mutants showed no significant differences in the 5 gene expressions. Among different development stages, the expression levels and patterns of the 5 genes in the mutants were similar to that of WT zebrafish in both embryonic and post-embryonic development stages. Furthermore, the results of histological analyses of the muscle fiber showed that there were no significant differences in muscle fiber density be...

...Cs to infection with the wild-type (WT) FP9 strain of FWPV compared to a recombinant FWPV carrying the H5 gene of avian influenza virus (rFWPV-H5) using morphological and immunophenotypical observations. The results showed that the rFWPV-H5-infected chBM-DCs formed better dendrites and stellate cells, compared to the WT FWPV. The recombinant virus also expressed higher levels of the surface markers CD86 and MHC class II double-positive chBM-DCs 12 and 24 h pos...

Divergence from SAD B19 vaccine strain sequence was also reported but the exact effect of the observed genetic changes in an infectious RABV particle dictates in-vivo studies. ...

When subjected to 24 µM metolachlor, the wild-type leaf discs were fully necrotic, whereas the single overexpression lines exhibited 20-60%, and the double overexpression lines showed only 15-20% necrosis. The data suggested that overexpression of NtSAT4 is a promising strategy for im...

The mitigated lung injury in AQP9 KO mice correlated with significantly alleviated pulmonary inflammation as indicated by significantly reduced immunofluorescent staining of CD68+ macrophages in the lungs, decreased level of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and increased level of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Concurrently, mRNA levels of TNF-α and IL...
