Screening 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 کاملDevelopment of an optical tweezer combined with micromanipulation for DNA and protein nanobioscience
We have constructed an optical tweezer using two lasers (830 nm and 1064 nm) combined with micropipette manipulation having sub-pN force sensitivity. Sample position is controlled within nanometer accuracy using XYZ piezo-electric stage. The position of the bead in the trap is monitored using single particle laser backscattering technique. The instrument is automated to operate in constant forc...
متن کاملOptical micromanipulation.
Optical micromanipulation has engendered some major studies across all of the natural sciences at the mesoscopic scale. Though over thirty-five years old, the field is finding new applications and has lost none of its dynamic or innovative character: a trapped object presents a system that enables a calibrated minuscule force (piconewtons or less) to be exerted at will, enabling precision displ...
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 کاملEndogenous metabolism of filamentous fungi.
Among the filamentous fungi the rate of the endogenous respiration, which often is a useful measure of endogenous metabolism, usually is high as compared to the total respiration in the presence of exogenous substrates. This feature is not limited to the fungi alone and may be found under certain conditions in bacteria (Dawes and Holms, 1958) and in animal tissues as well (Allen et al., 1955). ...
