Periplasmic expression of Bacillus thermocatenulatus lipase in Escherichia coli in presence of different signal sequences

Efforts to express lipase in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli have so far been unsuccessful andmost of the expressed recombinant lipases accumulate in the insoluble cell fraction. To evaluate the role ofnative and heterologous signal peptides in translocation of the lipase across the inner membrane of E. coli,the lipase gene (btl2) was cloned downstream of the native ...

Directions in Hybrid Intelligence: Complementing AI Systems with Human Intelligence

Hybrid intelligence systems combine machine and human intelligence to overcome the shortcomings of existing AI systems. This paper reviews recent research efforts towards developing hybrid systems focusing on reasoning methods for optimizing access to human intelligence and on gaining comprehensive understanding of humans as helpers of AI systems. It concludes by discussing short and long term ...
