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:
... The excessive use of antibiotics in both human and veterinary medicine has contributed to the development and rapid spread of drug resistance in bacteria. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have become a tool of choice that can be used to treat these resistant bacteria. Several studies have shown that AgNPs have antibacterial and wound healing properties. In this study, we evaluated the biological activ ...
