Host Suppressors in Arabidopsis thaliana of Mutations in the Movement Protein Gene of Cauliflower mosaic virus

A novel genetic screen was used to identify host factors in Arabidopsis Purses/Totes thaliana that suppress mutations in the Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) movement protein gene (gene I).A series of small mutations was made in gene I and the mutations were tested for their suitability in a suppressor screen.The first round of screening yielded onl

Inhibition of extracellular proteases improves the production of a xylanase in Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius

Abstract Background Parageobacillus Dual Fuel Range thermoglucosidasius is a thermophilic and ethanol-producing bacterium capable of utilising both hexose and pentose sugars for fermentation.The organism has been proposed to be a suitable organism for the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks.These feedstocks may be difficult to
