| The interdisciplinary project titled “Determination of the In Silico/In Vitro Probiotic Quality and Functional Properties of Original Loigolactobacillus coryniformis FOL-19 Strain Originating from Traditional Tulum Cheese and Development of Local Probiotic Culture Production Process Method”, conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih ORTAKCI, a faculty member of our faculty's Food Engineering Department, has been granted support within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 2515-COST Action Members R&D Support Program, and the project titled “Cloning of MaSp1 Gene Encoding Spider Web Protein into PbBb6c Vector and Transformation into E. coli Bacteria for the Development of Bone-Tissue System” has been granted support within the scope of the TÜSEB 2025-A1-01 A1 Project Support Program for Undergraduate Students. In the project, the spider web gene encoding the MasP1 protein synthesized by the dragline spider will be synthetically obtained and transformed into a competent Escherichia coli bacterial cell using recombinant DNA technology. The targeted E. coli microbial cell factory capable of synthesizing MaSp1 will constitute an important molecular infrastructure for applications such as the development of bone-connective tissue systems that require strength in health research. We sincerely congratulate our faculty member, the working group (Prof. Dr. Enes Dertli, Assist. Prof. Kadriye Nur Kasapoğlu Khan, Assoc. Prof. Yunus Emre Tunçil (Necmettin Erbakan University), Assist. Prof. Muhammed Kasapoğlu (IU-Cerrahpaşa), Assist. Prof. Hüseyin Güner (Abdullah Gül University)) and our students (Beyza Özder and Ahmet Burak Ulaş) and wish them continued success. |
