Application

Application Comment Organism
molecular biology the thermostable properties of the enzyme from Thermus aquaticus have contributed majorly to the specificity, automation, and efficacy of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Thermus aquaticus

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
high-level expression in Escherichia coli BL21. A 2500 base pair Taq DNA polymerase gene is colned into pGEX-4T-1 vector, containing a GSTtag, downstream of tac promoter and overexpressed it using isopropyl ß-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) as an inducer Thermus aquaticus
