Promising bioactive compounds from the marine environment and their potential effects on various diseasesJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 20 - Trang 1-38 - 2022
Akash Karthikeyan, Abey Joseph, Baiju G. Nair
The marine environment hosts a wide variety of species that have evolved to live in harsh and challenging conditions. Marine organisms are the focus of interest due to their capacity to produce biotechnologically useful compounds. They are promising biocatalysts for new and sustainable industrial processes because of their resistance to temperature, pH, salt, and contaminants, representing an oppo...... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of β-glucosidase of Lactobacillus plantarum FSO1 and Candida pelliculosa L18 isolated from traditional fermented green oliveJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 19 - Trang 1-14 - 2021

Oleuropein, the main bitter phenolic glucoside responsible for green olive bitterness, may be degraded by the β-glucosidase enzyme to release glucose and phenolic compounds. Lactobacillus plantarum FSO1 and Candida pelliculosa L18 strains, isolated from natural fermented green olives, were tested for their β-glucosidase production and activity at different initial pH, NaCl concentrations, and temp...... hiện toàn bộ
Genome-wide identification, phylogeny, and expression profiling analysis of shattering genes in rapeseed and mustard plantsJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 20 - Trang 1-12 - 2022

Non-synchronized pods shattering in the Brassicaceae family bring upon huge yield losses around the world. The shattering process was validated to be controlled by eight genes in Arabidopsis, including SHP1, SHP2, FUL, IND, ALC, NAC, RPL, and PG. We performed genome-wide identification, characterization, and expression analysis of shattering genes in B.napus and B. juncea to gain understanding int...... hiện toàn bộ
Physical and mechanical cues affecting biomaterial-mediated plasmid DNA delivery: insights into non-viral delivery systemsJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 19 - Trang 1-21 - 2021
Valeria Graceffa
Whilst traditional strategies to increase transfection efficiency of non-viral systems aimed at modifying the vector or the polyplexes/lipoplexes, biomaterial-mediated gene delivery has recently sparked increased interest. This review aims at discussing biomaterial properties and unravelling underlying mechanisms of action, for biomaterial-mediated gene delivery. DNA internalisation and cytoplasmi...... hiện toàn bộ
Narrative role of vitamin D receptor with osteoporosis and obesity in a sample of Egyptian females: a pilot studyJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 19 - Trang 1-8 - 2021

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is known as one of the cellular regulators for several metabolic pathways indicating its pivotal role in the pathological pathway of numerous diseases. Considering the high frequency of osteoporosis and obesity among women, the current study aimed to explore the prospective assembly of the most frequent two VDR loci, single nucleotide polymorphism SNPs rs731236 (TaqI) and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Scaling-up production of cost-effective and eco-friendly bio-fertilizer and its application on Barley green fodder via IoT hydroponic systemJournal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology - Tập 19 - Trang 1-12 - 2021

Plant-associated microbes (endophytes) have a significant relationship to enhance plant growth and crop productivity by producing proficient bioactive metabolites. Since endophytes promoted plant growth either directly by releasing active metabolites such as phytohormones or indirectly by suppressing the growth of phytopathogens, so, in this work, biomass yield of local endophytic Trichoderma harz...... hiện toàn bộ
