These inclusions contain proteins, and the PHB within the inclusions exists in an amorphous state. In this study a procedure to recover native PHB inclusions was developed, and the isolated inclusions were characterized using 13C NMR, western blotting, SDS-PAGE, ato

Abstract:
Ten bacteria capable of growth on the metal-cyano complex, tetracyanonickelate (II) {K2 [Ni(CN)J } (TCN), supplied as the sole nitrogen source, were isolated. Seven isolates were identified as pseudomonads while the remaining three were classified as Klebsiella species. In addition to TCN, all isolates were able to utilize KCN although it was significantly more toxic. The degradation of TCN was most complete when supplied at growth-limiting concentrations, did not occur when ammonia was present, and resulted in the formation of nickel cyanide [Ni(CN)2] as a degradation product.

This work has been carried out within the framework of the ERC funded project ERACHRON (Eradicating chronic infection), directed to the study of the chemical biology of bacterial persisters. Persisters are dormant phenotypic variants that are present in small amount in microbial populations. This phenotype shows high tolerance to antibiotics and for this reason it plays a key role in chronic infections. Indeed, after antibiotic treatment kills most of the bacterial population, persisters surviving the treatment can revert to the active phenotype, resuming growth and restoring the original, ant

Abstract:
Bacteriophages (phages) are the smallest biological entity on the planet. They provide vast amounts of valuable knowledge to biologists. Phage genomes are relatively simple compared to the organisms they infect (prokaryotes) and yet continually point to the complexity surrounding molecular- and microbiological mechanisms of life. By studying phages we can learn of the systems of gene expression, protein interaction and DNA organization. Phages are useful not only from an academic perspective, but may also have useful clinical applications. In the face of the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacter

The importance of fish culture has been increasing since 1990’s. The steady growth of fish culture helps to ensure a stable supply of fish for human consumption.

Research has been conducted to understand and reduce the occurrence of fish diseases in fish culture. In Hong Kong, bacterial infection is the most common cause of fish diseases.

The helically twisted cells of this organism were often observed in star-shaped clusters. Depending on nutritional conditions, cells ranged from 0.5 to 21 um in length and possessed prosthecae. Small motile cells were produced by asymmetric fission or by a budding process. Ovoid "generative" cells were observed in mixed culture conditions or when the pure culture isolate was grown in the presence of humic acid. The SLO oxidatively utilized glucose, maltos

Abstract:
Theoretical part of the master thesis was aimed on giving an overview of basic characteristics of magnetic particles, their morphology, basic methods of their synthesis, interaction with DNA and recent applications in biotechnology and biomedicine. The experimental part of thesis was aimed on application of new designed magnetic particles for isolation of both lactobacilli DNA and calf thymus DNA. Two types of magnetic beads were used: hyperbranched poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-[2-(methacryloyloxy) ethoxy]acetic acid-co-ethylene dimethylacrylate) microbeads covered with amino groups (P(GMA-MO
