Stress Induced by Recombinant Protein Production in Escherichia coli
Strong production of recombinant proteins interferes with cellular processes in many ways. Drainage of precursors and energy urges the cell to...
-
Large-Scale Micropropagation System of Plant Cells
Plant micropropagation is an efficient method of propagating disease-free, genetically uniform and massive amounts of plants in vitro. The scale-up...
-
Analysis and Control of Proteolysis of Recombinant Proteins in Escherichia coli
Proteolysis is one of the reasons for poor production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. Important properties of E. coli proteases, which...

Novel Genes Involved in Cephalosporin Biosynthesis: The Three-component Isopenicillin N Epimerase System
Cephalosporin is one of the best β-lactam antibiotics, widely used in the treatment of infectious diseases. It is synthesized by Acremonium...
-
Control of Fluxes Towards Antibiotics and the Role of Primary Metabolism in Production of Antibiotics
Yield improvements in antibiotic-producing strains have classically been obtained through random mutagenesis and screening. An attractive alternative...

Simultaneous In Vivo Regeneration of Neodermis, Epidermis, and Basement Membrane
Full-thickness skin loss does not undergo complete spontaneous regeneration in mammals. To restore the normal function of skin, dermal and epidermal...
-
Marine Microalgae
Marine microalgae, the largest primary biomass, have been attracting attention as resources for new metabolites and biotechnologically useful...

Stochastic “Mirror Symmetry Breaking” via Self-Assembly, Reactivity and Amplification of Chirality: Relevance to Abiotic Conditions
Theories of prebiotic life suggest that homochirality emerged in Nature in abiotic times via deterministic or chance scenarios. This chapter deals...
-
Monitoring of Stress Responses
New developments in the RNA analysis techniques now enable a comprehensive view on the bacterial physiology under bioprocess conditions. The DNA-chip...

Clarification of Interactions among Microorganisms and Development of Co-culture System for Production of Useful Substances
Co-culture systems containing two microorganisms for the production of useful substances are described. We developed a novel co-culture system...
-
Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide and Sugar Transferases
Capsular polysaccharides (CPs) of several pathogenic bacteria are thought to be good materials for the development of new therapeutic reagents. These...
