Featured article: Development of plant-produced protein body vaccine candidates for bluetongue virus

In this study, two novel protein body (PB) plant-produced vaccines were developed.

The results of this study indicate the possibility of using the bioflocculant produced by Arthrobacter humicola as a potential alternative to synthesized chemical flocculants in sewage waste water treatment and other industrial waste water.
