Disease relevance of est

In addition, expression of the est gene conferred on E. coli the ability to grow on simple triglycerides such as triacetin (TAC) [1].
A putative esterase gene (est) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1 has been cloned into Escherichia coli [1].

High impact information on est

This peptide was not found in minicells transformed with esterase-negative plasmids, such as pRA176, which contained a Tn5 insertion in the est gene [1].
The est gene encoding an esterase from Acinetobacter lwoffii RAG-1 was cloned into E. coli under the control of the PL promoter of the phage lambda [2].
