Researchers found a new method for producing Botoxin efficiently. Instead of current practice to grow clostridium botulinum and extract only 5mg botoxin for every 1 liter of bacteria, our method uses e.coli to do it much more efficiently in higher yields. The novelty is that the researchers found, the NTNH protein that binds to pro-Botoxin and protects it from early activation by a-clostripain a cleaving enzyme inside the bacteria. Researchers will use recombinant expression vector to express pro-botoxin+NTNH then purify via histag and then separate off the NTNH using higher pH and then activate the pro-botoxin with a-clostripian. Patent will be on method, using NTNH as protection and a-clostripain for cleavage....

Category Chemistry & Nanotechnology Keywords Maritime industry, biofouling, vessel Application Biofouling is one of the main pathways for introducing non-native marine species. However, biofouling growth on vessels’ hulls is not only a threat to marine biodiversity but also a long-standing operational problem for the maritime industry. It impacts vessel speed, propulsion, and ultimately fuel consumption and […]...
