  Research project type: PN II PD 393/2010   

  Project manager: RAHELA CARPA   

  Project title: POLY-Β-HYDROXYBUTYRATES PRODUCTION FROM RENEWABLE RESOURCES WITH BIOTECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVES  

  Project summary: The project aims to capitalize the renewable resurses by investigating some bacterial strains originating from zones with heterogenous environmental conditions where the differentiation of strains that are very productive for poly-β-hydroxybutyrates is high. This project is based on a great number of analyses required for highlighting the PHB synthesis capacity, namely microbiological analyses (estimating the soil microbial activity, isolating strong bacterial strains, assesing the physiology of PHB producing bacteria), molecular analyses (PCR amplification, sequencing, species identification, clonning, gene transfer from bacteria to yeasts, cell electroporation), biochemical (spectrophotometry), optical and electronical microscopy studies (TEM and SEM), culture physiology studies and biostatistical interpretations. The theme is scientifically justified both by the originality of the approach and by the attempt to understand the relation between the PHB bacterial producing capacity in different conditions, environmental and experimental ones. The applicability of the chosen theme presents multiple valences in environmental issues, biotechnology and medical field. Thus, the research project aimes to establish a protocol which to be used in a future biotechnology for obtaining poli-β-hydroxybutyrates.   

  The main goal of the project: The goals of this project are to isolate and characterize high poly-β-hydroxybutyrates PHB producing bacterial strains, to establish a protocol of the transfer of the gene involve in PHB synthesis from bacterial cells to yeast and to establish a biotechnological procedure for obtaining high levels of PHB. The strains will be isolated from different soil types in order to identify the environmental conditions which induce high levels of PHB.  

  Objectives:   

  1. Isolation of microbial strains from soils originating from physicochemically heterogenous zones.   

  2. The molecular identification of PHB producing species.   

  3. The parameters for effective PHB production will be optimised.   

  4. The transpher of the PHB producing-coding gene from bacteria to yeasts by means of a vector will be attempted.Tip proiect: PN II PD 393/2010

  Titlul proiectului: PRODUCEREA DE POLI-Β-HIDROXIBUTIRATI CU PERSPECTIVE BIOTEHNOLOGICE DIN SURSE REGENERABILE   


  Rezumat: Proiectul isi propune valorificarea resurselor regenerabile prin investigarea unor tulpini bacteriene provenite din zone cu conditii de mediu heterogene unde probabilitatea diferentierii de tulpini inalt producatoare de poli-β-hidroxibutirati (PHB) este ridicata. Proiectul este bazat pe un numar mare de analize necesare pentru evidentirea capacitatii de sintetiza a PHB si anume analize microbiologice (estimarea activitatii microbiene din sol, izolare de tulpini bacteriene viguroase, fiziologia bacteriilor producatoare de PHB), moleculare (amplificare PCR, secventare, identificare de specii, clonare, transfer de gene de la bacterii la drojdii, electroporarea celulelor), biochimice (spectrofotometrie) studii de microscopie optica si electronica (TEM si SEM), studii de fiziologie a culturilor si intrepretari biostatistice. Tema este justificata stiintific atat prin originalitatea unui astfel de studiu cat si prin incercarea cunoasterii relatiei dintre capacitatea de producere de PHB de catre bacterii in diferite conditii de mediu cat si experimentale. Aplicabilitatea temei alese prezinta valente multiple in aspecte de mediu, biotehnologie si in domeniul medical. Astfel, proiectul de cercetare isi propune punerea la punct a unui protocol care sa fie utilizat intr-o viitoare biotehnologie de obtinere a poli-β-hidroxibutiratilor.   


  Scopul: Scopul acestui proiect de cercetare consta in izolarea si caracterizarea unor tulpini bacteriene cu capacitate ridicata de sinteza a poli-β-hidroxibutiratilor (PHB), in stabilirea unui protocol de transfer a genei responsabile de sinteza PHB de la bacterii la drojdii, precum si stabilirea unei proceduri biotehnologice de obtinere eficienta de PHB. Tulpinile bacteriene vor fi izolate din diferite tipuri de sol cu scopul de a gasi conditiile specifice care induc producerea unui nivel ridicat de PHB.   


  Obiective:   


  1. Izolarea tulpinilor microbiene din soluri provenite din zone cu conditii fizico-chimice heterogene.   


  2. Identificarea moleculara a speciilor producatoare de PHB.   


  3. Optimizarea parametrilor pentru producerea efectiva de PHB.   


  4. Transferul genei raspunzatoare de producerea de PHB de la specii bacteriene la drojdii prin intermediul unui vector.

  ELBA Bioflux welcomes original articles, reviews, minireviews, short notes, letters, opinions and&nbsp;editorials on extremophilic species, extreme behavior or metabolism,&nbsp;cave species or communities, astrobiology, evolution, cryopreservation, enzymology, microbiology and lichenology.  


  Our journal,&nbsp;ELBA Bioflux,&nbsp;is a good opportunity for you&nbsp;to publish your papers&nbsp;on time, color, both printed and online, open access,&nbsp;unlimited pages.&nbsp;The journal allows the author(s) to hold the copyright without restrictions. This is an open-access journal distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License CC-BY, which permits unrestricted use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.&nbsp;  


  ELBA Bioflux is an international peer-reviewed journal. Each published article was independently seen before by two Scientific Reviewers and at least one lingvist. Peer-review policy in ELBA Bioflux: double blind peer-review. The editors use a soft for screening the plagiarism. Acceptance rate: about 65%. Electronic submission is required.&nbsp;  


  Because many authors withdrew their manuscript in final form just before the payment of the publication fee, our policy has changed (20 February 2019). The publication fee was replaced by a processing fee (100 USD), which is paid after a preliminary evaluation (not at the end). Our evaluation has two steps. 1)A preliminary evaluation by the editor (the author gets a preliminary acceptance or rejection); 2)An external double blind peer-review (at this point the author gets a final decision: acceptance or rejection). Please note that if the manuscript will not be published, the author or his/her institution gets the money back (except the cases of poor feedback from authors or withdrawal/rejection due to multiple submissions). We inform the authors about our final decision (acceptance or rejection) in 3-8 weeks after their submission. The average overall time from submission of the manuscript to publication is 10 weeks. Faster processing involves a tax of priority (50 USD).  


  Manuscript processing fee: 100 USD (or equivalent in EURO or RON);  


  Manuscript processing fee with priority: 150 usd (or equivalent in EURO or RON);&nbsp;  


  Publication fee: 0 USD.&nbsp;&nbsp;  


  The journal has a waiver policy for developing country authors (only for cases of very good quality manuscripts). When the manuscript's first author is a member of the Editorial Board Expanded (ELBA Bioflux), there is no processing fee. Please attach a scanned payment document and email to zoobiomag2004@yahoo.com&nbsp;

    Statement of human and animal rights    


  When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 (5). If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database).   


    Statement of informed consent    


  Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should identify individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, however, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database).   


    Conflict-of-interest statement    


  Public trust in the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how well conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer review, and editorial decision making. Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence (bias) his or her actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). These relationships vary from those with negligible potential to those with great potential to influence judgment, and not all relationships represent true conflict of interest. The potential for conflict of interest can exist whether or not an individual believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science itself (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors - "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals"- February 2006 – cited by Pubmed, Medline database). However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition or intellectual passion, and the Chief Editor will do his best to avoid them, using specific policies in the process of peer-review.
