She has made significant contributions to the field of biotechnology, particularly in the development of plant resistance mechanisms and microbial protein expression systems. With a total of 2 patents, her work has the potential to impact agricultural practices and enhance plant protection.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is focused on isolated DNA sequences and polypeptides that induce multiple resistance in plants to various phytopathogens and pests. This invention relates to isolated DNA sequences encoding MF3 polypeptides that enhance plant resistance against a range of viral and microbial infections. Additionally, it includes a method for obtaining transgenic plants that express these MF3 polypeptides, as well as a technique for isolating and purifying the MF3 polypeptide from bacterial cells. This innovation serves as a plant protectant, with or without a carrier agent.
Another significant patent by Battchikova involves a microbial protein expression system. This invention provides bacterial strains designed for the secretion of soluble biologically active recombinant heterologous proteins into the periplasm or cultivation medium of bacteria. The system utilizes the secretion mechanisms of Gram-negative bacteria, including periplasmic chaperones and usher/secretin proteins. The bacterial strains express a fusion protein that combines a signal peptide, a mature heterologous protein, and a subunit of a bacterial surface structure, facilitating the efficient secretion of various fusion proteins.
