Sublancin 168, as a distinct S-linked antimicrobial glycopeptide produced by Bacillus subtilis 168, is effective in killing specific microorganisms. However, the reported yield of sublancin 168 is at a low level of no more than 60 mg from 1 L fermentation culture of B. subtilis 168 by using the method in the literature. Thus optimization of fermentation condition for efficiently producing subla...

Both systems are public key systems, meaning that there is a secret key used for decryption and a publicly available key used for encrypting. In theory everyone can send you an encrypted message by using the public key (if they know where to obtain it), but you’re the only one who can decrypt the message. Of course these systems rely on the difficulties in obtaining the private key, when knowin...

Currently, a significant number of these cases are detected by prenatal sonography during second trimester screening examinations. However, major uncertainties about a detailed morphological diagnosis and the clinical significan...
