Acetyl-4, 4′-diapolycopene-4, 4′-dioate, a C30 carotenoid and secondary metabolite, was produced by the Sporosarcina aquimarina bacteria using a 5.0 L fermentation vessel with a 3.0 L working volume. In the presence of tryptone, the biosynthesis of acetyl-4, 4′-diapolycopene-4, 4′-dioate production using a batch fermentation process was further improved. Production parameters like carbon source, pH, and temperature were studied, and maximum product was achieved, up to 1.2 g/L, where the secondary metabolite yield was 0.07 g/L and productivity, 0.00833 g/L/h. The organic constitution and significant red color intensity of the acetyl-4, 4′-diapolycopene-4, 4′-dioate molecule can be used in the textile industry as a dye, and a coloring additive in processed foods and pharmaceuticals.

Numerous standardized techniques for detection and quantification of proteins are based on polyclonal antibody (pAb) use. However, because pAbs are a heterogeneous mixture of antibodies, there is the possibility of non-specific interactions or cross-reactions with non-related proteins, which is a disadvantage in the detection and quantification of target proteins. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to generate and characterize monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for quantifying the Vip3Aa20 protein of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) expressed in event MIR162 transgenic corn plant.
