The soluble liquid fraction of a sample after centrifugation or precipitation of insoluble solids.
Industry:Biotechnology
The source plant from which cuttings or explants are made. Stock plants are usually maintained carefully in an optimum state for (sometimes prolonged) explant use. Preferably they are certified-pathogen-free plants.
Industry:Biotechnology
The source plant or mother plant from which is taken the explant used to initiate a culture. <i>cf</i> donor plant.
Industry:Biotechnology
The space (periplasmic space) between the cell (cytoplasmic) membrane of a bacterium or fungus and the outer membrane or cell wall.
Industry:Biotechnology
The specific addition of phosphate groups, sugars (glycosylation), or other molecules to a protein after it has been synthesized.
Industry:Biotechnology
The specific and accurate synthesis of RNA in the test tube using purified DNA preparations as a template. So-called "coupled systems" may be obtained from <i>E. coli</i> which carry out both mRNA synthesis and its translation into protein. For eukaryotes, separate cell-free systems have to be set up to demonstrate the activity of the three functionally distinct RNA polymerase complexes.

Industry:Biotechnology
The specific nucleotide sequence in DNA that is recognized by a type II restriction endonuclease and within which it makes a double-stranded cut. Restriction sites usually comprise four or six base pairs that typically are palindromic (q.v.),
e.g., 5´GGCC3´
3´CCGG5´
The two strands may be cut either opposite to one another, to create blunt ends, or in a staggered manner, giving sticky ends, depending on the enzyme involved.
Industry:Biotechnology
The specification of a peptide sequence, by the code contained in DNA molecules.
