Production & purification of a fibrinolytic enzyme (thrombinase) from Bacillus sphaericus.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Treatment of thromboembolic vascular disease has relied on anticoagulants. However, recognition that lysis of preformed fibrin could be accomplished in vivo by a process involving the conversion of inactive plasminogen to active plasmin enzyme led to an alternative enzyme-based approach. The drugs used for this therapy are called the fibrinolytic enzymes. In this study we...
متن کاملApplication of multilocus enzyme gel electrophoresis to Haemophilus influenzae.
Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis was adapted to the study of Haemophilus influenzae. Protein extracts from sonicated whole bacteria were subjected to starch gel electrophoresis. After staining with substrates, the position of each isoenzyme (electromorph) was registered. Each isolate was assigned an electrophoretic type (ET) by the combination of electromorphs for the enzymes stained. Twenty-s...
متن کاملEpidemic-associated Neisseria meningitidis detected by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis.
In Oregon and parts of Washington State, the incidence of serogroup B meningococcal disease increased substantially in 1994 (1). Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) subtyping of N. meningitidis serogroup B strains collected in these areas during 1993 and 1994 suggested that these increases were due to a group of genetically related strains of the enzyme type-5 (ET-5) complex. ET-5 N. mening...
متن کاملAllelic diversity and population structure of Bacillus sphaericus as revealed by multilocus sequence typing.
The genetic diversity of 35 Bacillus sphaericus strains was analyzed by a newly developed multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme, toxin gene pool survey, and mosquito bioassay. The results demonstrated that strains assigned to the same sequence type (ST) had the same occurrence of toxin genes. Further sequence analysis revealed that toxic strains presented a nearly clonal population structure...
متن کاملPhylogeny of Bacillus sphaericus-like organisms.
The mesophilic round-spored bacteria embrace four species, namely Bacillus sphaericus, Bacillus fusiformis, Bacillus silvestris and Bacillus pasteurii. Although not displayed by all strains, mosquito pathogenicity is a noteworthy characteristic of B. sphaericus sensu lato. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences from 58 strains identified as B. sphaericus was used to examine the genet...
