Abstract:
... Linoleate 13-lipoxygenase from Burkholderia thailandensis was expressed in Escherichia coli for the production of 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE), an antiseptic emulsifier. Linoleate 13-lipoxygenase in cells had higher thermal stability than the purified enzyme. To increase 13-HODE production, recombinant cells were permeabilized by solvents, detergents, salts, and other chemicals. The en ...

Abstract:
... Recently, we showed that monochloramine (NH₂Cl) has a significantly stronger bactericidal and fungicidal activity than chloramine T despite its lower oxidizing power. This phenomenon was explained by increased penetration because of the higher lipophilicity and smaller bulk of NH₂Cl. As iodine (I₂) has an even fivefold higher bulk than NH₂Cl, a comparison of both compounds regarding their microbic ...
