Use of co-cultivation method to stimulate the production of antimicrobial natural products from mangrove microorganisms by Tan, Jin Wei

“…Cryptic gene clusters from actinomycetes are suspected to harbor potential in producing bioactive products, and in this study, co-cultivation is utilized to stimulate these cryptic gene clusters in novel antibiotics production. 10 actinomycete strains isolated from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve were co-cultured with Mycobacterium Abscessus and Asperigillus Westerdijikiae in two liquid mediums, Glucose-Yeast extract-Malt extract (GYM) and Minimum Media (MM). …”

Discovery of stabilized functional mutants of human aquaporin 1 by Soh, Miao Yi

“…A cell-based freeze-thaw functionality assay that was developed by the lab was conducted on yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells transformed with the plasmids to identify the functional mutants, i.e., mutants that express the mutated AQP1 protein that would allow them to exhibit a protective effect in response to rapid freezing. ~ 5% of mutants from a total of 2816 screened from thirty-three 96-well plates were identified after a series of initial and verification screens. …”
