Members of the Department Abida Zahirović and Aleš Berlec have recently published a paper entitled »Targeting IL-6 by engineered Lactococcus lactis via surface-displayed affibody« in Microbial Cell Factories (IF = 6.35). They developed lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus lactis with potent and selective IL-6 binding activity by displaying IL-6-specific affibody on its surface. Engineered bacteria were […]

Based on our description of a new family of fungal peptidase inhibitors, Cocaprins, a new Merops family I106 was established. Members of our department Jerica Sabotič, Tanja Zupan, Milica Perišić Nanut and Janko Kos worked on the biochemical characterization in collaboration with Miha Renko and Dušan Turk from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, […]

Our laboratories are now richer for two microscopes equipped with cameras that can capture high-resolution images. The first is the EVOS M5000 Imaging System, which allows observation of cells in brightfield at various magnifications, as well as capturing a wide range of fluorescence monitoring in four different channels. The second microscope is the Olympus CKX53, […]
