Abstract:
The specific growth rate, the maximum specific dextransucrase production rate and the maximum dextransucrase yield during the dextransucrase fermentation byLeuconostoc mesenteroides were all unaffected by both the pH of the culture medium, maintained at 5.5 or 6.7, and the mode of pH control, by adding NaOH or K2HPO4.

3.1K
The lac operon in Escherichia coli is a model for understanding inducible gene regulation and metabolic flexibility. It integrates local control by lactose and global regulation through catabolite repression, enabling E. coli to preferentially metabolize glucose when available and switch to lactose utilization when glucose is scarce.Structure and Function of the lac OperonThe lac operon contains three structural genes: lacZ (β-galactosidase), lacY (lactose permease), and lacA...

3.1K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes.
