Preprinting Microbiology

Silicon Microarray Pin with Selective Hydrophobic Coating

We have recently demonstrated the viability of silicon microarray pins, taking advantage of lithographic and batch processing of silicon micromachining in comparison with conventional and serial processing currently used for commercial pins. The reduced spot size (< 50% in diameter, i.e., > 4X in array density), however, made such undesirable needs as preprinting more pronounced. Preprinting, a...

Lectin and enzyme relationships in microbiology

Examples of inter- and intramolecular direct co-functioning of lectins and enzymes are summarized. The data indicate importance of lectin-enzyme relationships in molecular and clinical microbiology and medical biotechnology. Lectin-enzyme relationships have extended prospects in medicine and biotechnology.

Increased Acetate Ester Production of Polyploid Industrial Brewer’s Yeast Strains via Precise and Seamless “Self-cloning” Integration Strategy

Background: Enhancing the industrial yeast strains ethyl acetate yield through a precise and seamless genetic manipulation strategy without any extraneous DNA sequences is an essential requisite and significant demand. Objectives: For increasing the ethyl acetate yield of industrial brewer’s yeast strain, all the ATF1 alleles were overexpressed t...

qnr Prevalence in Extended Spectrum Beta-lactamases (ESBLs) and None- ESBLs Producing Escherichia coli Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Central of Iran

Objective(s) Extensive use of quinolones has been associated with raising level of resistance. In the current, we focused on assessing the prevalence of Escherichia coli resistance to quinolones and frequency of qnrA, qnrB and qnrS in non ESBLs (extended spectrum beta-lactamases) and ESBLs producing E. coli with blaSHV and blaTEM. Materials and Methods One hundred and fifty E. coli isolates ...
