STRAIN OF ENTEROBACTER FOR DEGRADING HYALURONIC ACID AND APPLICATION THEREOF
The invention belongs to the field of cosmetic biotechnology, and specifically relates to an Enterobacter that degrades hyaluronic acid and a cultivation method and application thereof. The Enterobacter sp. CGJ001 of the present invention was deposited in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center on Oct. 10, 2019, and the preservation number is CGMCC NO. 18661. The Enterobacter strain can efficiently produce hyaluronidase, and can be used in the process of preparing low molecular hyaluronic acid and oligomeric hyaluronic acid from high molecular hyaluronic acid. The enzyme has high specificity towards hyaluronic acid, excellent thermal stability and pH stability, and is suitable for large-scale industrial application. Thus, it can replace the traditional hyaluronidase extracted from expensive animal tissues. There should be broad application prospects in the fields of medicine and cosmetics.
MICROORGANISMS PROGRAMMED TO PRODUCE IMMUNE MODULATORS AND ANTI-CANCER THERAPEUTICS IN TUMOR CELLS
Genetically programmed microorganisms, such as bacteria or virus, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods of modulating and treating cancers are disclosed.
PH20 POLYPEPTIDE VARIANTS, FORMULATIONS AND USES THEREOF
Modified PH20 hyaluronidase polypeptides, including modified polypeptides that exhibit increased stability and/or increased activity, are provided. Also provided are compositions and formulations and uses thereof.
High Concentration Bispecific Antibody Formulations
Provided herein are stable aqueous pharmaceutical compositions comprising high concentration formulations of a bispecific epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) antibody and methods of preparing the same. Also provided herein are methods of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof by subcutaneously administering to the subject the stable aqueous pharmaceutical compositions as disclosed herein.
HIGH-EFFICIENCY SYNTHESIS AND HIGH-PURITY HYALURONIC ACID, AND RECOMBINANT CORYNEBACTERIUM GLUTAMICUM FOR OLIGOSACCHARIDE THEREOF
The invention discloses a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum for efficient synthesis of highly pure hyaluronic acid and oligosaccharides thereof, belonging to the technical field of bioengineering. The recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum constructed in the present invention can produce hyaluronic acid with a yield up to 40g/L, and a crude product purity of 95%. Addition of exogenous hyaluronic acid hydrolase and optimization of the fermentation conditions results in hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides with specific molecular weight, and can further improve the yield of hyaluronic acid to 72 g/L. The invention lays a solid foundation for the efficient synthesis of highly pure hyaluronic acid by microorganisms, and the constructed recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum is suitable for industrial production and application.
