The cyclization of linear DNA in Escherichia coli by site-specific recombination

The efficiency with which linearized plasmid DNA can transform competent Escherichia coli can be significantly increased by use of the Cre-lox site-specific recombination system of phage P1. Linear plasmid molecules containing directly repeated loxP sites (lox² plasmids) are cyclized in Cre⁺ E. coli strains after introduction either by transformation or by mini-Mu transduction, Exonuclease V activity of the RecBC enzyme inhibits efficient cyclization of linearized lox² plasmids after transformation. By use of E. coli mutants which lack exonuclease V activity, Cre-mediated cyclization results in transformation efficiencies for linearized lox² plasmids identical to those obtained with covalently closed circular plasmid DNA. Moreover, Cre⁺ E. coli recBC strains allow the efficient recovery of lox² plasmids integrated within large linear DNA molecules such as the 150-kb genome of pseudorabies virus.     

Enumeration of heterotrophs, fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli in water: comparison of 3M Petrifilm plates with standard plating procedures

A total of 177 naturally contaminated water samples were analyzed by membrane filtration according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater published by the American Public Health Association. Filters were incubated in parallel on mHPC-agar and 3M™ Petrifilm™ Aerobic Count Plates (Petrifilm™ AC plates) for heterotrophic counts. Fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli were enumerated on mFC-agar and 3M™ Petrifilm™ E. coli/Coliform Count Plates (Petrifilm™ EC plates). Typical colonies on each media type were confirmed following standard procedures. Heterotrophic counts were between 10³ and 10⁴ CFU/mL and the average log₁₀ counts obtained on Petrifilm™ AC plates were about two-fold lower than on mHPC-agar. Counts for fecal coliforms and E. coli were between 10² and 10³ CFU/mL. Average log₁₀ counts for confirmed fecal coliforms obtained on Petrifilm™ EC plates were slightly lower than on mFC agar with a correlation coefficient of 0.949. The average log₁₀ counts for confirmed E. coli on Petrifilm™ EC plates and on mFC agar were statistically not different (P=0.126) with a correlation coefficient of 0.879. Specificity of Petrifilm™ EC plates and mFC agar was evaluated by comparing typical colony counts with confirmed counts. On mFC agar, counts for typical colonies were by 2 log₁₀ CFU higher than the actual confirmed counts. In contrast, on Petrifilm™ EC plates typical colony counts were almost identical to confirmed colony counts for both fecal coliforms and E. coli. This comparison illustrates the high specificity of Petrifilm™ EC plates for enumeration of both fecal coliforms and E. coli in water.     

DNA buoyant density shifts during 15N-DNA stable isotope probing

DNA-based stable isotope probing (SIP) is a novel technique for the identification of organisms actively assimilating isotopically labeled compounds. Herein, we define the limitations to using ¹⁵N-labeled substrates for SIP and propose modifications to compensate for these shortcomings. Changes in DNA buoyant density (BD) resulting from ¹⁵N incorporation were determined using cultures of disparate GC content (Escherichia coli and Micrococcus luteus). Incorporation of ¹⁵N into DNA increased BD by 0.015±0.002 g mL⁻¹ for E. coli and 0.013±0.002 g mL⁻¹ for M. luteus. The DNA BD shift was greatly increased (0.045 g mL⁻¹) when dual isotope (¹³C plus ¹⁵N) labeling was employed. Despite the limited DNA BD shift following ¹⁵N enrichment, we found the use of gradient fractionation, followed by a comparison of T-RFLP profiles from fractions of labeled and control treatments, facilitated detection of enrichment in DNA samples from either cultures or soil.     

环境水体中肠道感染菌群与几种典型致病菌的QPCR检测及相关性分析

利用定量PCR(QPCR)方法,对环境水体中的肠道感染菌群及几种致病菌进行4个月的连续检测。结果表明:在污染严重的水体中,埃希氏大肠菌(E.coli)是水中肠道感染菌群的主体,其强度接近于用通用引物检测出的肠道感染菌群强度。当肠道感染菌群拷贝数超过10⁴copies·100 mL^-1时,沙门氏菌(S.typhrmurium)和志贺氏痢疾杆菌(Shigella flexneri)也持续被检出,可以认为是水体病原污染的标志之一;在轻度污染和清洁水体中,当肠道感染菌群拷贝数低于10⁴copies·100 mL^-1时,通过通用引物检测到的肠道感染菌群主要是上述3种病原细菌以外的细菌,且3种病原细菌的出现频度和强度与肠道感染菌群之间没有明显的相关性。

A selective λ phage cloning vector with automatic excision of the insert in a plasmid

A bacteriophage λ cloning vehicle has been constructed for the generation of cDNA libraries. The vector has the following properties. (1) It has a unique BamHI site engineered into the λ gam gene. Segments of DNA can be cloned into this site and clones with an insert can be selected by their ability to grow on an Escherichia coli host lysogenic for phage P2 (Spi⁻ phenotype). (2) When the recombinant phage infects a Cre-producing E. coli strain, a site-specific recombination event results in the excision of a plasmid replicon with the cloned insert. (3) Single-stranded DNAs can be recovered by growing helper M13 phages on bacteria harboring such plasmids. The vector, λMGU2, has been used to construct a nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans) cDNA library.     

Enhancement of the uvrA gene dosage reduces pyrimidine dimer excision in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli

E. coli possesses an efficient repair mechanism able to remove pyrimidine dimers from UV-irradiated DNA, which is catalyzed by UvrABC endonuclease. In E. coli B/r Hcr⁺ cells transformed with a multicopy plasmid harboring a gene coding for UvrA, the excision capacity was greatly reduced. The course of thymine dimer excision was investigated using the enzymatic as well as the radiochromatographic method and the results are discussed in term of nonspecific interaction between the excess of UvrA protein and undamaged DNA duplex.
