To enhance imaging contrast, we introduced a plasmid expressing mCherry fluorescent protein (pTrc99a-mcherry) into wild-type Escherichia coli HCB1, denoting it as HCB1-pTrc99a-mcherry. A ...

Members of the team had previously reported that P. rustigianii carries a cytolethal distending toxin virulence gene on its plasmid. Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's virulence, ...

NORDITROPIN is a polypeptide hormone of recombinant DNA origin. The hormone is synthesized by a special strain of E. coli ...

Pneumonia is an infection of one or both lungs caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus. It causes inflammation and fluid build-up in the air sacs, or alveoli, of the lungs. Bacterial and viral ...

Houseflies live close to humans and domesticated animals and because they are so mobile they can easily spread bacteria that make people sick. They carry these disease-causing agents on their body ...

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A key modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which makes it ...
