Characterization of soybean genomic features by analysis of its expressed sequence tags
We analyzed 314,254 soybean expressed sequence tags (ESTs), including 29,540 from our laboratory and 284,714 from GenBank. These ESTs were assembled into 56,147 unigenes. About 76.92% of the unigenes were homo...

Consequences of cps mutation of Klebsiella pneumoniae on 1,3-propanediol fermentation
The filtration in 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) downstream process is influenced by the large amounts of capsular polysaccharides (CPS) produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae CGMCC 1.6366. The morphological and fermentatio...
