摘要:
A testing system for urinalysis is provided comprising a support member which carries a developing phase, a reagent carrying means, a urine applying section, and a urine-reagent developing area. In order to prevent inaccurate test results which may result from splashing the sample onto the device, a water-repellent agent is coated onto both sides of the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase, as well as onto both sides of the support member where the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase are provided. The water repellent agent is solidified, and a transparent resin film is attached to the upper surfaces of the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase. In another embodiment, instead of the combination of a water repellent agent and a transparent resin film attached to the upper surfaces of the reagent phase and the urine-reagent developing phase, the device is enclosed in an envelope-like or cylindrical transparent resin film or container.
摘要:
A method is described for increasing the yield of a product from a microorganism containing a regulatory gene, by altering the microorganism. The method involves introducing into the microorganism at least one structural gene for the product by lysogenizing the microorganism with a recombinant bacteriophage containing the structural gene.
摘要:
A recombinant bacteriophage, a method for producing and selecting the recombinant bacteriophage and a method for heterologous cloning of DNA are disclosed. The recombinant bacteriophage is produced by ligating genetic fragments encoding a desired genetic trait with DNA from a bacteriophage, incubating with DNA from a second Bacillus microorganism prototrophic for a growth requirement, incubating with a host Bacillus auxotrophic for the growth requirement. Transformed host Bacillus are selected by growing the mixture on a growth medium which does not contain the growth requirement and determining the presence of the genetic trait. The recombinant bacteriophage containing the desired genetic trait is recovered from the host Bacillus by induction. Heterologous cloning can be accomplished by incubating a host Bacillus with the recombinant bacteriophage.
