AB  - Nowadays, exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced from bacterial cells are manufactured for their use in different industries in the world, mainly in the food, pharmaceutical, and wastewater industries. The characteristics of EPS, such as being biodegradable, safe, high adsorption capacity, and reusable, make them significant and potential applications in the purification of contaminated water of heavy metals. In this study, the possible application in biosorption Ni2+ ions from contaminated water was assessed using this exopolysaccharide as a biosorbent. The new exopolysaccharide from the bacterial strain K. oxytoca J7 was extracted, isolated, and characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTG, and MALDI-TOF MS analysis. Likewise, the cytotoxic activity was performed for EPS from K. oxytoca J7 strain. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible application of non-toxic exopolysaccharide in the purification of contaminated water by removing Ni2+ ions. The results obtained from the biosorption study showed that the Langmuir model is well suited to describe the adsorption process of Ni2+ ions by EPS from K. oxytoca J7, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 269.97 mg g–1. The importance of this study is the possible use of natural nontoxic exopolysaccharide extracted from the pathogen microorganism, K. oxytoca J7, for the removal of Ni2+ ions from the contaminated water.

AB  - The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein plays a significant role in the coronavirus life cycle and participates in a variety of critical events following viral invasion1. In infected patients, high titers of immunoglobulin G (IgG) targeting N protein were detected and correlated with the clinical course of the disease2. Therefore, N protein and anti-N protein IgGs were recognized as important diagnostic indicators of COVID-19 infection in serological and quick antigen tests3. In this study, we optimized the expression of the recombinant form of SARS-CoV-2 N protein in a mammalian cell line HEK293T by comparing the transfection efficiency between Polyethylenimine (PEI) and Calcium Phosphate (CaP) DNA-complexing agents. Transfection potency was tested at different cell confluence and passage number, in several cell culture media, pre-transfection and post-transfection media change and in conditions of reduced serum. Chloroquine and glycerol treatments were included to enhance transfection efficiency as they might inhibit DNA degradation in lysosomes or increase membrane permeability. Protein expression was monitored in cell supernatants up to 7 days post-transfection in dot-bot and Western blot using anti-N protein antibodies. Both transfection methods have shown moderate to relatively high transfection efficiency dependent on the applied conditions, making them affordable and easy to use techniques for recombinant N protein production on a small-scale in adherent mammalian systems. PEI acts as a good delivery system regardless of the presence of the fetal bovine serum (FBS), while CaP transfection is more dependent on the presence of FBS which in turn favors N protein degradation. However, we have optimized both methods to achieve optimal expression of unfragmented N-protein in serum-free conditions. Apart from setting up a cost-effective platform for expression of N protein in mammalian cells, we plan on investigating the mechanisms behind the PEI and CaP non-viral gene delivery systems as there are still some uncertainties in the scientific community.
