  1. a Plasmid encoding Ampicillin and Chloramphenicol resistance is indicated as AmpR and CamR, respectively. Ori is used as an abbreviation for origin of replication and MCS is the acronym for multiple cloning site. The Hexa-histidine tag is abbreviated to His-tag that was used to purify the AFase proteins of this study through nickel-ion affinity liquid chromatography
