Biosynthetic Gene Cluster for the Peptide Antibiotic Enduracidin

Technology Description To produce a library of S. fungicidicus mutants, an in vitro transposon-based method was devised to randomly insert a selectable marker and oriT element in fosmid inserts carrying segments of the enramycin biosynthetic gene cluster and adjacent regions. This library of mutagenized fosmids was screened to identify specific disrupted...

Nanoparticle ultrasound contrast agents with high acoustic activity

Summary Contrast-enhanced ultrasound allows for low-cost minimally-invasive imaging; however, the size of typical contrast reagents prevents them from penetrating tumors thereby limiting their utility for cancer diagnostic and therapeutic purposes (theranostics). Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers have developed novel nanoparticle...
