Human carbonic anhydrase VII (hCA VII), a cytosolic enzyme, defends against oxidative stress by preventing reactive oxygen species from forming. In our study, first, hCA VII was cloned into Escherichia coli (One Shot Mach1-T1R) strain by using cDNA of the human brain and successfully expressed. The integrity of the plasmid generated by colony PCR w...

The processive cellulase (CelO) is an important modular enzyme of Clostridium thermocellum. To study the effect of the carbohydrate-binding module (CBM3b) on the catalytic domain of CelO (GH5), four engineered derivatives of CelO were designed by truncation and terminal fusion of CBM3b. These are CBM at the N-terminus, native form (CelO-BC, 62 kDa)...

Testosterone is an anabolic steroid and a major sex hormone in males. It plays vital roles, including developing the testis, penis, and prostate, increasing muscle and bone, and sperm production. In both men and women, testosterone levels should be in normal ranges. Besides, testosterone and its analogs are major global contributors to doping in sp...

Based on the broad clinical utility of the immunosuppressant mycophenolic acid (MPA), this article aims to intensify the biosynthetic potential of Penicillium roqueforti for more effective hyperproduction of the drug. Several mutants were generated from irradiation mutagenesis and screened. Two strains (GM1013 and GM1093) presented an elevated MPA ...

One of the main pathological features of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). Cistanoside A (CA) has a strong neuroprotective effect in PD, but the exact mechanism is unclear. In the present study, the MPTP-stimulated mouse model of PD and MPP+ -treated PD model in the MES23.5 neuronal...

Recently, composting cultivation method is widely used in oyster mushroom production. In this study, we focused on the effects of composting processes on nutritional qualities and antioxidant activity of Pleurotus floridanus mushroom fruiting bodies. Three treatments of different composting time (2, 4, and 5 days) were performed with an atmospheric...

25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 as a main circulating metabolite of vitamin D is usually measured in serum to evaluate the vitamin D status of humans. So, developing an accessible, fast response, sensitive, and selective detection method for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 is highly important. In this study, we designed a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor b...

This work isolated a strain named Bacillus amyloliquefaciens HM618 from the soil, which can inhibit the growths of Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, and Escherichia coli DH5α. Based on the results of response surface methodology, the surfactin levels of strain HM618 were elevated from 0.724 to 1.876 g/L and 0.995 to 1.888 g/L under the pure cul...
