Tetanus toxin and botulinum neurotoxin–derived fusion molecules are effective bivalent vaccines
Tetanus toxin (TeNT) and botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are neuroprotein toxins, with the latter being the most toxic known protein. They are structurally similar and contain three functional domains: an N-term...

Halomonas faecis sp. nov., a halophilic bacterium isolated from human faeces
A novel moderately halophilic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive, strictly aerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile rod, designated strain JSM 104105 T, was isolated from human faeces. Strain JSM 10...

Sequential fed-batch fermentation of 1,3-propanediol from glycerol by Clostridium butyricum DL07
The demand for 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) has increased sharply due to its role as a monomer for the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT). Although Clostridium butyricum is considered to be one of the...

Open AccessLong-chain n-alkane biodegradation coupling to methane production in an enriched culture from production water of a high-temperature oil reservoir
Paraffinic n-alkanes (C22–C30), crucial portions of residual oil, are generally considered to be difficult to be biodegraded owing to their general solidity at ambient temperatures and low water solubility, rende...

Abundance and diversity of archaeal accA gene in hot springs in Yunnan Province, China
It has been suggested that archaea carrying the accA gene, encoding the alpha subunit of the acetyl CoA carboxylase, autotrophically fix CO2 using the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate pathway in low-temperat...
