Optimization of protease secretion in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis by screening of homologous and heterologous signal peptides.

abstract：:Portions of published procedures for measurement of ergosterol content of decomposing plants were examined for their influence upon ergosterol yield. Common methods of treatment of plant samples prior to sterol extraction (e.g., oven drying, freezing, lyophilization) led to reduced recoveries of ergosterol (ca. 20 to ...
