  • METHOD FOR PREPARING ORTHODIHYDROXYISOFLAVONES USING A BIOTRANSFORMATION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110033904
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for preparing ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones using a biotransformation system. More specifically, disclosed is a method for preparing ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones, which comprises biotransforming daidzein or genistein by actinomycete microorganisms, particularly Streptomyces avermitilis, Nocardia farcinica or Streptomyces lincolnesis, in order to efficiently prepare ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones having an excellent antioxidant function and a whitening effect.

  • Method for expression of proteins on spore surface
    Patent number: 7582426
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for display of proteinson spore surface and a method for improving protein with rapidity using the same, which comprises the steps of (i) preparing a vector for spore surface display comprising a gene construct containing a gene encoding spore coat protein and a gene encoding a protein of interest, wherein, when expressed, the gene construct expresses a fusion protein between the spore coat protein and the protein of interest, (ii) transforming a host cell with the vector for spore surface display; (iii) displaying the protein of interest on a surface of a spore of the host cell; and (iv) recovering the spore displaying on its surface the protein of interest.
