vitreoscilla การใช้
- VHb was first discovered by Dale Webster in 1966 from a " Vitreoscilla " species.
- "Vitreoscilla " bacteria have a unique property in that they produces a type of haemoglobin, VHb.
- Thus " Vitreoscilla " is used to describe the bacterium as the transparent swing or oscillator, the way it exhibits locomotion.
- Members of " Vitreoscilla " are morphologically colourless filaments that contain cells with diameters of 1-3 ?m and 1-12 ?m long.
- He was one of the co-discoverers of RNase P, a catalytic RNA, in the laboratory of Sidney Altman who shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Thomas R . Cech in 1989 for their work on the catalytic properties of RNA . Other major accomplishment of Stark includes the discovery of enhancement of productivity of recombinant organisms engineered to express the " Vitreoscilla " hemoglobin ( VHb ( hemoglobin ) ), the first bacterial hemoglobin.
