The co-expression plasmid was transformed into BL21( DE3) competent cells. α and ε toxins proteins were induced by IPTG before analysis by SDS-PAGE. As a result,both of α and ε toxins were detected at 43 and 34 KU by western-blot. Mice immunized with the co-expressed α and ε toxins proteins produced high titers of neutralizing antibodies in the serum,which protected the mice against the attack of type D C. perfringens culture filtrate. In addition,mice immunized with the produced co-expressed α and ε toxins proteins showed significantly higher surviving rate than with ε toxins protein alone when infected with culture filtrate of type D C. perfringens. These results indicated that co-expression of α and ε toxins proteins could be used as a new method to prepare vaccines against the pathogens of multiple serotypes.展开更多

The strain SLYY-3, which produced a bacteriocin-like substance(BLS), was characterized to be a strain of Bacillus subtillis by biochemical profiling and 16 S r DNA sequence analysis. It is the first time to report that Bacillus subtilis from Jiaozhou Bay sediments could produce a BLS. The BLS of B. subtillis SLYY-3 exhibited strong inhibitory activity against gram-positive bacteria(including Staphylococcus aureus and B. subtillis) and some fungi(including Penicillium glaucum, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus). The antimicrobial activity was detected from culture in the exponential growth phase and reached its maximum when culture entered into stationary growth phase. It was thermo-tolerant even when being kept at 100℃ for 60 min without losing any activity and stable over a wide p H range from 1.0 to 12.0 while being inactivated by proteolytic enzyme and trypsin, indicating the proteinaceous nature of the BLS. The BLS was purified by precipitation with hydrochloric acid(HCl) and gel filteration(Sephadex G-100). SDS-PAGE analysis of the extracellular peptides of SLYY-3 revealed a bacteriocin-like protein with a molecular mass of 66 k Da. Altogether, these characteristics indicate the potential of the BLS for food industry as a protection against pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms.展开更多

An α-galactosidase(aga) gene encoding an enzyme degrading melibiose was amplified by PCR from the plasmid p RAF800 of Lactococcus lactis NZ9000. The aga gene was introduced into pMG36 e to substitute the p rimary antibiotic selectable marker of pMG36 e, resulting in construction of a new food-grade expression vector pMG36-aga. To testify the expression efficiency of exogenous gene in pMG36-aga, a 1.5 kb long α-amylase(amy) gene from Ba cillus li cheniformis was cloned by PCR and introduced into the plasmid pMG36-aga. The resultant plasimd pMG36-aga-amy was transformed into L. lactis ML23 by electroporation. The positive clones were selected with the medium containing melibiose as the sole carbon source. Th e selection efficiency of aga was 8.71×103 CFU with a standard deviation of 9.1×102 CFU ?g-1 DNA of pMG36-aga. Furthermore, the SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the pMG36-aga-amy expressed a 56.4 kDa protein which was the same as the putati ve molecular weight of α-amylase. The starch plate assay also indicated that L. lactis ML23 displayed high activity of α-amylase by expressing of amy gene of pMG36-aga-amy.展开更多

However, limited studies have been made to assess broiler meat quality in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and incidence of PSE-like broiler muscle commercially produced in China. A total of 1 274 Pectoralis muscles of Arbor Acre broiler were randomly obtained from the processing line to determine the commercial incidence of PSE-like muscle based on color. Furthermore, broiler Pectoralis muscles selected from the 1 274 muscle samples were classified as PSE-like muscle (L*>53, n=33) and normal muscle (L*>48 and L*=53, n=33) to assess meat quality. It was determined that PSE-like muscle had lower muscle pH values, lower water-holding capacity (WHC), lower sarcoplasmic protein solubility, and lower total protein solubility than the normal muscle did. SDS-PAGE profile also showed that bands of approximate 96 and 24 kDa in sarcoplasmic protein and myofibrillar protein varied between these two groups, suggesting partial denaturation of sarcoplasmic proteins and precipitation on myofillarments. Correlation analysis showed that L* values have significant correlation with WHC and protein solubility. Furthermore, the distribution of L* values exhibited a normal curve with range varying from 42.70 to 58.37. It was considered that approximately 23.39% of the population was PSE-like muscle. These results suggest that PSE-like meat can represent a significant portion of commercially processed broiler breast meat in China and that the L* value measurement could be used to sort broiler meat quality using a cut-off point.展开更多

[Method] According to the published amino acid sequence of SMAP-29, a gene encoding SMAP-29 (sheep myeloid antibacterial peptides-29) mature peptide was synthesized and was biased codon usage of Pichia pastoris. The synthesized gene was inserted into Pichia pastoris expression vector pPIC3.5K, transformed into Pichia pastoris strain GS115 by electroporation, and screened with G418 for high-copy recombinants. The methanol utility plus phenotype (Mut+) was selected with MM, MD and PCR. The correctly constructed recombinant strain was induced with methanol. Expression of SMAP-29 was analyzed by lysing the induced yeast cells with Tricine-SDS-PAGE. [Result] After induced with methanol for 2 d, a 3.2 kD induced band was detected in the cell lysate which was consistent to the predicted molecular weight of SMAP-29; the expression products purified with gel filtration chromatography showed significant antibacterial effect against Staphyloccocus aureus and Monilia albican but no significant antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for the application of SMAP-29 in biomedicine, agriculture and other fields.更多还原展开更多
