Critical Aspects of Standardization of PCR
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
Molecular methods, using nucleic acid diagnostics, are receiving increasing attention for testing the microbiological safety of food ( 2 ).
There are several advantages of nucleic acid diagnostics compared to bacteriological culturing and immunochemical methods.
Further-more, detection of nucleic acids is very rapid compared to conventional culture-based analysis.

Inducible Degron and Its Application to Creating Conditional Mutants
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
In this chapter, a method is described that allows for a rapid design-based generation of temperature-sensitive alleles of manySaccharomyces cerevisiae genes.
The method employs a temperature-inducible degron, denoted astd , which, when linked to the N-terminus of proteins to be studied, targets them for rapid degradation via the ubiquitin-dependent N-end rule pathway.

Identification and Analysis of Native Nucleosomal Histone Acetyltransferase Complexes
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
Two classes of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) have been described; cytoplasmic type B HATs acetylate free histones for subsequent assembly into chromatin ( 2 ) and nuclear type A HATs, which mediate transcription related acetylation of chromosomal histones ( 3 ).

Spectrophotometric Determination of Histamine in Fisheries Using an Enzyme Immunoassay Method
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
The biogenic amines are low-weight organic bases that exhibit variable biological activity.
Approximately 30 vasoactive and psycoactive amines have been found in foodstuffs ( 1 ).
These amines occur naturally in animals, plants, and microorganisms owing to their natural metabolic processes, and are usually formed by decarboxylation of amino acids.

Expression of Foreign Genes in Acholeplasma laidlawii
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
The expression of foreign genes in mollicutes has been difficult owing to inefficient transformation systems, and, until recently, by the lack of suitable cloning vectors.
Few genes, excluding those associated with vector functions, have successfully been cloned and expressed in mollicutes (see Table 1 ; 1 –8 ).

Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Engineering
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
For example, a drug resistance marker may have to be inserted to enable selection of the BAC DNA when transfected into eukaryotic cells, a gene present in the BAC insert may have to be mutated for functional studies or a transgene may have to be introduced for ectopic expression.

Cutlass
Time of Update: 2021-02-13
For ferocious carnivorous fish, intense feeding is performed almost all the time except for spawning and low winter intake.
Fish from the northern wintering ground migrated from the wintering ground to the western coast in early 4, and 6 arrived at The Pishan and Da Chen near-shore spawning , after spawning scattered in the nearby sea area.
