HOT SPRING BACTERIAL STRAIN BKH1 AND PROTEIN ISOLATED THEREFROM , CONCRETE COMPOSITIONS, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a Thermoanaerobacter sp. bacterial strain (BKH1) isolated from a hot spring, a purified protein (bioremediase) isolated from bacterial strain BKH1, as well as concrete compositions comprising BKH1 and/or the protein, and methods of using the protein and/or composition. Also disclosed are nucleic acids encoding the protein isolated from BKH1, as well as expression vectors, host cells, cell lines, and methods for generating and purifying the bioremediase protein.
