Prototype application of a robot in the clinical laboratory enabling fully automated quantification of fecal porphyrins.
Unpleasant specimens, sensitive analytes, and a lengthy chromatographic procedure were the main reasons we implemented fecal porphyrin analysis with a laboratory robot. We describe the system in detail and compare it with the same technique performed manually. The day-to-day variation of assays of standards was lower with the robot than with the manual operation: 8% (CV) for coproporphyrin I an...
متن کاملScreening of Lovastatin Production by Filamentous Fungi
In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a t...
متن کاملMethods for genetic transformation of filamentous fungi
Filamentous fungi have been of great interest because of their excellent ability as cell factories to manufacture useful products for human beings. The development of genetic transformation techniques is a precondition that enables scientists to target and modify genes efficiently and may reveal the function of target genes. The method to deliver foreign nucleic acid into cells is the sticking ...
متن کاملThe fitness of filamentous fungi.
Fitness is a common currency in comparative biology. Without data on fitness, hypotheses about the adaptive significance of phenotypes or basic mechanisms of evolution, for example natural selection, remain speculative. Experiments with fungi can address questions specific to fungi or questions with a broader significance. Fungi can challenge the generality of fundamental evolutionary principle...
متن کاملMating type in filamentous fungi.
Mating type genes regulate sexual compatibility and sexual reproduction in fungi. This review focuses on recent molecular analyses of well-characterized mating systems from representative ascomycete (Neurospora crassa, Podospora anserina) and basidiomycete (Ustilago maydis, Coprinus cinereus, Schizophyllum commune) fungi. These mating systems include many conserved components, such as gene regu...
