Electron. j. biotechnol; 40 (), 2019

Background: Burdock (Arctium lappa L.) is a fructan-rich plant with prebiotic potential. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient enzymatic route to prepare fructooligosaccharides (FOS)-rich and highly antioxidative syrup using burdock root as a raw material. Results: Endo-inulinase significantl...

Stable expression and characterization of a fungal pectinase and bacterial peroxidase genes in tobacco chloroplast

Espinoza-Sánchez, Edward Alexander; Álvarez-Hernández, Marianela Hazel; Torres-Castillo, Jorge Ariel; Rascón-Cruz, Quintín; Gutiérrez-Díez, Adriana; Zavala-García, Francisco; Sinagawa-García, Sugey Ramona.

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (3), 2015

Background The high capacity of chloroplast genome response to integrate and express transgenes at high levels makes this technology a good option to produce proteins of interest. This report presents the stable expression of Pectin lyase (PelA gene) and the first stable expression of manganese peroxidas...
