Expression of Simian Retrovirus Type D Serotype 2 Envelope in Insect Cell Using Baculovirus Expression Vector System
(2009)Simian retrovirus type-D (SRV) is a causative agent of simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in Asian macaques, and can serve as a viral model in understanding of retrovirus infection because of some similarities to ... -
Identification and phylogenetic analysis of bacterial isolates from litopenaeus vannamei shrimp culture system and gut environment based on 16SrRNA gene sequence data
(2009)Selected bacterial isolates from a Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp culture system and gut environment were assessed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing method to identify their identity and to construct their phylogenetic relationship. ... -
Molecular Analysis of H5N1 Avian Influenza Virus from Avian Species: Compared with Genbank Data of the Indonesian H5N1 Human Cases
(2009)In Indonesia, the H5N1 avian influenza (AI) disease has been circulating for more than five years and has infected various types of avian species and human beings. Generally, avian influenza cases in human beings are ... -
Survival Mechanism of Puccinia abrupta var. partheniicola Urediniospores During Summer Season
(2009)The success of applying plant pathogens as biological control agents of weeds relies on the ability of the biological control agent to persist at all parts of the year and to successfully go through all of its life cycle ... -
Detection and Sequence Diversity of Begomovirus Associated with Yellow Leaf Curl Disease of Pepper (Capsicum annuum) in West Sumatra, Indonesia
(2009)Yellow leaf curl disease of pepper has become an emerging important disease in West Sumatra since early 2000. Several attempts have been made, including disease survey and detection, in order to identify the causal agent ... -
Activity of proteolytic and Amylolytic enzymes from Bacillus spp. Isolated from shrimp ponds
(2009)Accumulation of feed excess in commercial shrimp ponds due to overfeeding could decrease water quality. Protein and starch are the primary components of shrimp feed. This study was conducted to characterize extracellular ... -
Development of Rapid Agglutination Test to Detect Chicken Marek Antibody
(2009)To our knowlege, there is no rapid agglutination test to detect antibodies to viruses which might be due to the small dimension of viral particles. Through complex formation of Staphylococcus aureus bearing protein A-rabbit ... -
Exploration of Bacillus thuringiensis ä-Endotoxin Derived from Bacterial Isolates in Jabodetabek Region
(2009)Bacillus thuringiensis is a well-known species of bacteria producing parasporal crystalline proteins that are toxic to many insect pests, it also has strong cytocidal activity against human cancer cells. In this work we ... -
T-cell epitopes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen 85 complex potential for generating antibody: an immunoinformatics study
(2009)The present study was conducted to predict T-cell epitopes of the antigen 85 complex capable of stimulating antibody generation by using immunoinformatics approaches. By applying computational biology software, the available ... -
Genetic Diversity of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria of Bacillus sp. Based on 16S rRNA Sequence and Amplified rDNA Restriction Analysis
(2009)Plant-growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are rhizosphere associated soil-borne bacteria that can enhance plant growth and inhibit the development of root pathogens. Many soil bacteria have been used as PGPR, and one of ... -
The b’x Region of Yeast Protein Disulfide Isomerase is Not Essential for Saccharomyces cerevisiae Viability at 30 °C
(2009)Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) catalyzes thiol oxidation, reduction and isomerization of disulphide bond of cell surface and secreted proteins. Yeast PDI1 consists of two catalytic domains (a and a’) which are separated ... -
