The influence of various nanodiamond colloids used for seeding nondiamond substrates in microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition diamond process was investigated. Colloids based on deionized water, isopropanol alcohol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used with different grain size dispersion: 150, 400 and 35 nm, respectively. The influence of growth time was also taken into consideration and bias enhanced nucleation....

Enzymy lipolityczne, głównie lipazy i esterazy, stanowią cenną grupę biokatalizatorów wykorzystywanych w przemyśle. Coraz większe zainteresowanie tą klasą enzymów sprawiło, że poszukuje się alternatywnych źródeł ich pozyskiwania. W celu zbadania wpływu białek transportu ABC Pseudoalteromonas sp. 643A na ekspresję genu, sekrecję i aktywność esterazy EstA z tego mikroorganizmu w systemie ekspresyjnym E. coli skonstruowano układ do...

A cryptic plasmid pSFKW33 from psychrotrophic bacterium Shewanella sp. 33B, an isolate from the Gulf of Gdansk (the Baltic Sea), was sequenced and characterized. It is an 8021 bpcircular molecule with 38% GC content, which shows a distinctive nucleotide sequence without homology to other known plasmids. The nucleotide sequence analysis predicts eight open reading frames. The deduced amino acid sequence of ORF-1 shared significant...

Cold active lipolytic enzymes are promising to replace the conventional enzymes processes of biotechnological industries. One of the most important feature of the cold-active lipases and esterases is that they offer economic benefits through energy saving. In general, they exhibit high activity at low temperatures and low thermostability at moderate temperatures. Lipolytic enzyme EstS9 was isolated from Pseudomonas sp. S9. A multiple...
