A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated strain JJ013 T , was isolated from an artificial lake in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, characterized using a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of indicated that the isolate belonged to family Flavobacteriaceae exhibited similarity levels 96.6 % type strains Flavobacterium cheonanense koreense 96.5 chungnamense . Growth observed at 20–30 °C pH 5.0–7.0. major cellular fatty acids novel...
Many eukaryotic proteins are anchored to the cell surface via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), which is posttranslationally attached carboxyl-terminus by GPI transamidase. The mammalian transamidase a complex of at least four subunits, GPI8, GAA1, PIG-S, and PIG-T. Here, we report Chinese hamster ovary cells representing new complementation group GPI-anchored protein-deficient mutants, class U. U accumulated mature immature did not have in vitro activity. We cloned gene responsible,...
Many cell surface proteins are anchored to a membrane via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI), which is attached the C termini in endoplasmic reticulum. The inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol acylated during biosynthesis GPI. In mammalian cells, acyl chain added glucosaminyl at third step GPI biosynthetic pathway and then usually removed soon after attachment GPIs proteins. mechanisms roles acylation deacylation have not been well clarified. Herein, we report derivation human Chinese...
Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa)-derived actinidin, a cysteine protease, is renowned for its meat-tenderizing and milk-clotting activities. Despite potential in various biotechnological applications, an efficient expression platform actinidin production has not yet been developed. Instead, traditionally purified directly from the fruits of plants. This study aimed to produce kiwifruit-derived leaves Nicotiana benthamiana. The expressed was directed lumen endoplasmic reticulum (ER) using...
Marine derived actinomycetes constituting 185 strains were screened for their antifouling activity against the marine seaweed, Ulva pertusa, and fouling diatom, Navicula annexa. Strain 291-11 isolated from Undaria pinnatifida, rhizosphere showed highest was identified as Streptomyces praecox based on a 16S rDNA sequence analysis. therefore named S. 291-11. The compounds isolated, structures analyzed. chemical constituents representing (6S,3S)-6-benzyl-3-methyl-2,5-diketopiperazine (bmDKP)...
Two Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and red-pink-pigmented bacterial strains, designated GYR3077(T) GSR0100(T), were isolated from a water sample of the Mangyung estuary enclosed by Saemangeum Embankment in JEOLlabuk-do, South Korea, characterized using polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA genes strains GSR0100(T) exhibited sequence similarities 95.9 % to Hymenobacter deserti ZLB-3(T) 96.6 soli PB17(T), respectively, indicated that these isolates belonged phylum Bacteroidetes. The...
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and pink bacterial strain, designated strain GCM0142 T , was isolated from the confined seawater in Saemangeum Tide Embankment of South Korea, characterized using a polyphasic approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that isolate belonged to phylum Bacteroidetes exhibited similarity levels 94.0–96.4 % type strains recognized Pontibacter species. Strain oxidase- catalase-positive. The major cellular fatty acids novel were summed feature 4...
Marine microbes, particularly Bacteroidetes, are a rich source of enzymes that can degrade diverse marine polysaccharides. Aquimarina sp. ERC-38, which belongs to the Bacteroidetes phylum, was isolated from seawater in South Korea. It showed agar-degrading activity and required an additional carbon for growth on broth 2216. Here, genome strain sequenced understand its agar degradation mechanism, 3615 protein-coding sequences were predicted, assigned putative functions according their...
