    摘要: The invention relates generally to the field of molecular biology and microbiology. Provided herein is an expression construct encoding a fusion protein. In one embodiment, there is provided an expression construct encoding a fusion protein, the expression construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding a first polypeptide for expression and a second polypeptide derived from the cell wall targeting region of a Lactobacillus plantarum Lys2 autolysin, wherein the first and second polypeptides are joined to form a fusion protein. In a specific embodiment, the second polypeptide comprises the CAD4a domain, which is a truncated domain containing only R1-R3 of the five-repeat SH3_5 domain of the Lys2 autolysin. Provided herein is also a fusion protein and the use of a fusion protein as defined herein.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of an oleogel, comprising a) homogenising an aqueous dispersion of natural food fibre to develop viscosity, b) shear-mixing the aqueous fibre dispersion with liquid edible oil at room temperature to form an emulsion, and c) subjecting the emulsion to freeze-drying to remove the water. In some embodiments, the natural food fibre is citrus fibre or nata de coco fibre mix. The invention further relates to an edible fibre-based oleogel obtained by the method, as well as food products comprising the oleogel and/or based upon the oleogel.

    摘要: There is provided a neurosynaptic processing core with spike time dependent plasticity (STDP) learning for a spiking neural network, including: a spiking neuron block including a pre-synaptic block and a post-synaptic block; a synapse block communicatively coupled to the spiking neuron block; a STDP learning block communicatively coupled to the spiking neuron block and the synapse block, the STDP learning block including a pre-synaptic event accumulator including a pre-synaptic spike event memory block and a pre-synaptic spike parameter modifier; a post-synaptic event accumulator including a post-synaptic spike event memory block and a post-synaptic spike parameter modifier, a weight change accumulator, and a weight change parameter modifier; a learning error modulator; and a synaptic weight modifier configured to modify a synaptic weight parameter based on a weight change parameter and a learning error corresponding to the synaptic weight parameter. There is also provided a corresponding method of operating and a corresponding method of forming the neurosynaptic processing core.

    摘要: The invention relates to a skin microbe sampler comprising: a plurality of solid microneedles extending from a support surface, wherein the microneedles are dimensioned to penetrate the epidermis and/or dermis layer of the skin to obtain microbes residing in the skin. In particular, in one embodiment, the microneedles comprise a cone shape that is substantially devoid of patterning on the surface of said cone shape, in another embodiment, the surfaces of the microneedles comprise an adhesion coating on their surfaces for enhancing adhesion of the microbes on the microneedles. Also provided are a method of sampling microbes residing in a skin, a method of making the microbe sampler, and a mold for making the microbe sampler. In particular, in one embodiment, the method of making the microbe sampler comprises 3D printing the solid microneedles and/or molding the solid microneedles from a negative imprint of the solid microneedles.
