Suitability of nutrients removal from brewery wastewater using a hydroponic technology with Typha latifolia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Plants are increasingly being examined as alternative recombinant protein expression systems. Recombinant protein expression levels in plants from Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-based vectors are much higher than those possible from plant promoters. However the common TMV expression vectors are costly, and at ti...
