A new method of obtaining chlorophyll derivatives using genetically modified bacteria

テクノロジー The subject of this offer is a new method of preparation of plant enzymes used to modify chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls. Plant enzymes from the chlorophyllase family are produced in genetically modified strain of Escherichia coli and obtained in a powdered form, which can then be used repeatedly to modify chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls. The method can be applied in manufacturing of chlorophyll-based drugs for photodynamic therapy, but also in industrial processes such as de-colourisation of plant oils.
