摘要:
A method of plant tissue culture which comprises culturing a tissue or an organ of a plant, a part of the same or cultured cells in a medium containing a culture filtrate and/or an extract of a photosynthetic procaryotic microorganism.Such a culturing method effectively proliferates the plant tissues and cultured cells, and also promotes the formation of adventive embryos, regeneration of the plant body and production of useful substances formed by that plant.Strains of cyanobacteria or photosynthetic bacteria are preferably used as the photosynthetic procaryotic microorganism.

An electrochemical stain prevention apparatus of a submerged structure comprising a submerged structure of which at least the stain prevention surface is formed of a conductive film that does not generate chlorine even by applying a potential of 5 V vs. SCE or less, a counter electrode located so as not to contact with the submerged structure, and a power supply unit for passing a direct current through the submerged structure having the conductive film formed thereon and the counter electrode. Aquatic organisms adhered to the surface of the conductive film can effectively be controlled by applying a potential of from 0.1 to 5 V vs. SCE to the submerged structure of such a stain prevention apparatus without generating chlorine. A potential applied to the conductive film of the submerged structure can be controlled with good accuracy by disposing a reference electrode between the submerged structure and the counter electrode. As the conductive film formed on the substrate of the submerged structure, a sprayed coating film made of a metal nitride can preferably be used.

There is provided a method for preparing dendrimer-modified magnetic fine particles wherein such particles can be made within a shorter time and more inexpensively than in the above-stated prior art processes and lot-to-lot variations in properties are lessened. The method for preparing dendrimer-fixed magnetic fine particles comprises the steps of providing magnetic particles having a functional group at a surface thereof, providing a dendrimer having a functional group at a base end portion thereof and synthesized to a desired generation and binding the functional group of the magnetic particles and the functional group of the dendrimer directly or indirectly through a crosslinking agent.

A magnetic nanotube includes bacterial magnetic nanocrystals contacted onto a nanotube which absorbs the nanocrystals. The nanocrystals are contacted on at least one surface of the nanotube. A method of fabricating a magnetic nanotube includes synthesizing the bacterial magnetic nanocrystals, which have an outer layer of proteins. A nanotube provided is capable of absorbing the nanocrystals and contacting the nanotube with the nanocrystals. The nanotube is preferably a peptide bolaamphiphile. A nanotube solution and a nanocrystal solution including a buffer and a concentration of nanocrystals are mixed. The concentration of nanocrystals is optimized, resulting in a nanocrystal to nanotube ratio for which bacterial magnetic nanocrystals are immobilized on at least one surface of the nanotubes. The ratio controls whether the nanocrystals bind only to the interior or to the exterior surfaces of the nanotubes. Uses include cell manipulation and separation, biological assay, enzyme recovery, and biosensors.

The present invention provides a dendrimer-based biochip, wherein a flow channel through which a solution containing biopolymer molecules is flowed is formed in the substrate of the biochip, a plurality of dendrimer molecules one end of each of which is bound to the walls of the flow channel are formed thereon, and probe biopolymer or antibody molecules are bound to the tips of the dendrimer molecules so that, if the probe biopolymer molecules are bound, then target biopolymer molecules can be captured by means of a complementary combination and, if the antibody molecules are bound, then protein can be extracted by means of antigen-antibody reaction, whereby biopolymers can be retrieved in a highly efficient manner.
摘要:
A fusion DNA sequence, which is obtained by fusing a gene coding for another useful protein to a fragment of a magA gene coding for a protein bound to an organic membrane for covering magnetic particles produced in cells of a magnetic bacterium AMB-1, is expressed in the magnetic bacterium to obtain the protein in a state of being bound to the magnetic particles. According to the present invention, useful proteins such as enzymes and antibodies can be stably obtained in a state of being bound to the organic membrane of the magnetic particles only by cultivating a transformed magnetic bacterium, and separating the magnetic particles produced in cells, without any necessity to perform a treatment such as immobilization. The functional protein immobilized on the magnetic particles can be magnetically controlled. Thus the function can be efficiently exhibited at a desired topical position. Magnetic particles to which a desired protein is bound can be semipermanently produced only by maintaining and cultivating an identical bacterial strain. Since the protein is produced on the magnetic particles, an objective protein can be magnetically separated and recovered in a short period of time. Thus it is possible to perform efficient separation and purification.

Processes for detecting a sensitized leukocyte or an antigen in a liquid sample are described. One of the processes contains the steps of: adding a known antigen to the liquid sample, or the liquid sample to a known sensitized leukocyte; applying an electric potential between a working electrode immersed in a mixture of the known antigen or the known leukocytes and the liquid sample, and a counter electrode, to generate an electric current therein; and measuring an amount of the electric current generated. Further, another process contains the steps of: adding a known antigen to said liquid sample, or the liquid sample to a known sensitized leukocyte; and measuring an amount of serotonin or histamine released thereby. Still further, apparatuses for carrying out the above processes are also described.
