We report the heterologous expression and molecular characterization of first extremely halophilic alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) from archaeon Haloquadratum walsbyi. A 2349 bp region (Hqrw_2071) Hqr. walsbyi C23 annotated genome was PCR-amplified resulting amplicon ligated into plasmid pET28b(+), expressed in E. coli Rosetta cells, protein purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The recombinant showed an estimated mass 87 kDa, consistent with expected value protein, optimal activity...
We report here the draft genome sequence of a novel UV-resistant bacterium isolated from dry soil on south coast Puerto Rico. Based polyphasic taxonomy, strain MC1A represents new species and name Solirubrum puertoriconensis is proposed. Assembly was performed using NGEN Assembler into eight contigs (N50 = 1,292,788), largest which included 1,549,887 bp. The consists 4,810,875 bp has GC content 58.7%. Several genes related to DNA repair UV resistance were found. Whole Genome Shotgun project...
Microbes are one of the most ubiquitous organisms in world. They exist everywhere, from hydrothermal vents to your kitchen sink, so it comes as no surprise that you might find them on clothes well. Sometimes microbes cause problems for textiles, but what if we could a way use help make textile industry more sustainable? Deaja Sanders and Mara Cuebas-Irizarry discuss our how these various other combat clothing plastic waste pollution.
