Isolation of toxigenic Nocardiopsis strains from indoor environments and description of two new Nocardiopsis species, N. exhalans sp. nov. and N. umidischolae sp. nov
Article Abstract:
Research has been conducted on the Nocardiopsis strains isolated from water-damaged indoor environments. Results indicate that these isolates have produced toxins detected via the boar spermatozoa used as test cells.

Cloning of the gene encoding a novel thermostable alpha-galactosidase from Thermus brockianus ITI360
Article Abstract:
The cloning and sequencing of an alpha-galactosidase gene from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus brockianus ITI360 as well as the purification and characterization of the recombinant enzyme were conducted. The objective was to investigate a thermostable alpha-galactosidase from Thermus bacteria, to isolate the encoding gene and to characterize the recombinant protein. The enzyme was observed to have a high affinity for oligomeric substrates. Results indicate that no alpha-galactosidase activity could be detected in the crude extracts of the mutant strain.
