A compound produced by symbiotic bacteria promotes in vitro protein synthesis - EurekAlert


The research team led by Associate Professor Atsushi Nakabachi of the Toyohashi University of Technology Research Center for Agrotechnology and Biotechnology revealed that the compound “diaphorin” produced by an insect symbiotic bacterium promotes the activity of an in vitro protein synthesis system using Escherichia coli-derived components. Their work clarified part of the action mechanism by which diaphorin promotes coliform growth and substance production, and it is expected to be applied to improving the efficiency of industrial production of useful substances using bacteria. The results of this research were published online in the journal Microbiology Spectrum on June 4, 2024.
