Summary We attempted to use Bacillus subtilis phage 1 as a gene-cloning vector since the 1 genome was found to have few cleavage sites upon digestion with several kinds of restriction endonucleases. A 1 stock supplied by J. Ito (University of Arizona, Tucson, USA) consisted of two phages, 1E1 and 1E2, having one and two EcoRI-cleavage sites in their genomes respectively. From the latter isolate a deletion mutant 1E21 was induced to increase the size range of DNA segments to be cloned. It was demonstrated, by in vitro recombination experiments with phage 11 DNA, that 1E21 can be used for cloning EcoRI fragments of various sizes. We analyzed the DNAs of ten 1 clones isolated from independent transfectants and found that six of them carried 11 DNA fragments inserted at either of the two EcoRI-cleavage sites. Some of the hybrid phage DNAs were found to be cleaved with BamHI and HaeIII endonucleases at the 11 DNA portion, whereas the parental 1E21 DNA was insensitive to any of these enzymes. These hybrid phages would therefore be useful vectors for cloning foreign DNA fragments generated by cleavage with BamHI or HaeIII endonucleases. 相似文献

Summary Previously, we constructed a lactose-utilizing strain of Xanthomonas campestris, Xc17 (pKMLT), by cloning lacZY genes with the RK2-derived vector pLAFR1. In this study, the narrow-host-range, -galactosidase expression plasmid pKM was fused with an integration vector pS19 to form pSF14. Following insertion into Xc17, pSF14 was integrated into the host chromosome. The integration function was provided by the 0.85-kb EcoRI-PstI fragment from the filamentous phage Lf. The integration caused no adverse effect to the cells and was stable for at least 66 generations without selection. The engineered strain, Xc17::pSF14, was able to grow as well and produce as much xanthan gum in lactose medium as the wild-type cells did in glucose medium, and the Xc17(pKMLT) in lactose medium. Therefore, Xc17::pSF14 is potentially useful for xanthan production by direct use of whey lactose as the fermentation substrate. This study has advanced one more step our efforts to contruct lactose-utilizing X. campestris and confirmed the feasibility of using pS19 as an integration vector. 相似文献

The degradation of the phenylcoumaran substructure model compound methyl dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol by the white-rot wood decay fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was investigated using culture conditions optimized for lignin oxidation. Initial attack was in the cinnamyl alcohol side chain, which was oxidized to a glycerol structure. This was subsequently converted by loss of the two terminal carbon atoms, C and C, to yield a C-aldehyde structure, which was further oxidized to the C-acid compound. The next detected intermediate, a phenylcoumarone, was produced by double bond formation between C and C, and oxidation of the C-alcohol to an aldehyde group. Further oxidation of C to an acid yielded the next intermediate. The final identified degradation product was veratric acid. No products from the 5-substituted aromatic ring, and no phenolic products, were found. The initial glycerol-containing intermediate was a mixture of the threo and erythro forms, and no optical activity could be found, suggesting that its formation might have involved nonstereospecific C-C epoxidation followed by non-enzymatic hydrolysis of the epoxide.Abbreviations TLC

Summary We have previously described a phage (63) for generalized transduction in Bacillus thuringiensis and used it for mapping of four chromosomal antibiotic resistance markers, namely nalA-rifA-strA-spcA (Landén et al. 1981). From 63 we have now isolated a host range mutant called 64 which contains 52–56 megadalton of DNA. Phage 64 was found to be a more efficient transducing vector than 63. The host range of 64 is wide, with good growth on subspecies gelechiae, kurstaki, galleriae, thuringiensis and thompsoni, restriction on some derivatives of finitimus and ostrinae and no growth on alesti, israelensis and aizawai.Using 64 and a series of new mutants of subspecies gelechiae we have no added five new genes to the antibiotic resistance group described before. The gene order found was guaB-purB-metA-novA-(purA-nalA)-rifA-strA-spcA. Linkage was also demonstrated between hisA and lysA. 相似文献

Fowl plague virus, strain Dutch, was metabolically labeled withd-[2-3H]mannose, or withd-[6-3H]glucosamine, and the small subunit (HA2; 0.8 mg in total) of the viral hemagglutinin was isolated by preparative sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After proteolytic digestion, the radioactive oligosaccharides were sequentially liberated from the glycopeptides by treatment with different endo--N-acetylglucosaminidases and with peptide:N-glycosidase or, finally, by hydrazinolysis. In this manner, four groups of glycans could be obtained by consecutive gel filtrations and were subfractionated by HPLC. The structures of the individual oligosaccharides were analyzed by micromethylation, by acetolysis or by digestion with exoglycosidases. The major species amongst the high mannose glycans at Ans-406 of the viral glycopolypeptide were found to be Man1-2Man1-3(Man1-2Man1-6)Man1-6(Man1-2Man1-2Man1-3)Man1-4GlcNac1-4GlcNAc and Man1-3(Man1-2Man1-6)Man1-6(Man1-2Man1-2Man1-3)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc, while the complex glycans at Asn-478 are predominantly GlcNAc1-2Man1-3(GlcNAc1-2Man1-6)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc (lacking, in part, one of the outerN-acetylglucosamine residues) and GlcNAc1-2Man1-3(Gal1-4GlcNAc1-2Man1-6)Man1-4GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc.Abbreviation BSA

Summary
Streptococcus thermophilus is a common dairy starter for which very few genetic exchange systems have been described. Here we report plasmid transduction by 17 and 56, two virulent phages of industrial yogurt starter strains. Several replicons could be transduced, independently of their size, with efficiencies which are high enough to allow gene transfer from a transformable intermediary strain of S. thermophilus to other hosts of the bacteriophages studied. 相似文献

The time constant of the process producing the delay in Na inactivation development as determined by the two pulse method (delay) was extracted and compared to that of the slowest Na activation process 3 for the I
Na during the conditioning pulse of that same determination. delay and two pulse inactivation c values were computer generated using a nonlinear least squares algorithm. h and single pulse inactivation h values were independently generated for each determination also with the aid of the computer using the same non-linear least squares algorithm. In one determination at 2 mV, c was 4.68 and delay 0.494 ms while h was 4.70 and 3 0.491 ms for a c/h of 0.996 and a delay/3 of 1.006. Mean delay/3 from five determinations in four axons, both Cs and K perfused, and spanning a potential range of-27 to 2mV was 1.068. The precursor process to inactivation is channel opening. Some fraction of channels presumably inactivate via another route where prior channel opening is not required. 相似文献

The low-copy-number and broad-host-range pSM19035-derived plasmid pBT233 is stably inherited in Bacillus subtilis cells. Two distinct regions, segA and segB, enhance the segregational stability of the plasmid. Both regions function in a replicon-independent manner. The maximization of random plasmid segregation is accomplished by the recombination proficiency of the host or the presence of the pBT233 segA region. The segA region contains two open reading frames (or) [ and ]. Inactivation or deletion of or results in SegA– plasmids. Better than random segregation requires an active segB region. The segB region contains two ors (or and or). Inactivation of either of the orfs does not lead to an increase in cell death, but or– plasmids are randomly segregated. These results suggest that pBT233 stabilization relies on a complex system involving resolution of plasmid oligomers (segA) and on the function(s) encoded by the segB region. 相似文献

Microbial transformation of ginsenoside Rb1 by Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Of 49 microbial strains screened for their capabilities to transform ginsenoside Rb1, Rhizopus stolonifer and Curvularia lunata produced four key metabolites: 3-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)--d-glucopyranosyl]- 20-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl]-3,12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (1), 3-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl-(1,2)--d- glucopyranosyl]-20-O-[-d-glucopyranosyl]-3,12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ol (2), 3-O-[-d-gluco- pyranosyl-(1,2)--d-glucopyranosyl]-3, 12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (3), and 3-O--d-glucopyranosyl-3, 12, 20(S)-trihydroxydammar-24-ene (4), identified by TOF-MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral data. Metabolites 1, 3 and 4 were from the incubation with R. stolonifer, and 1 and 2 from the incubation with C. lunata. Compound 2 was identified as a new compound. 相似文献

The limited proteolytic pattern of transducin,G
t
, and its purified subunits with chymotrypsin were analyzed and the cleavage sites on the
t
subunit were identified. The
t
subunit in the GTPS bound form was cleaved into a major 38 kD fragment, whereas
t
-GDP was progressively digested into 38, 23, 21, and 15 kD fragments. The
t
subunit was not very sensitive to proteolytic digestion with chymotrypsin. The
t
subunit was not cleaved and only a small portion of
t
was digested into several fragments. In order to determine which proteolytic fragment of
t
still contained the carboxyl terminal region, chymotrypsinization was carried out usingG
t
previously32P-labeled at Cys347 by petrussis toxin-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation. The32P-label was mainly associated with the
t
subunit and a 15 kD fragment. The 23 and 21 kD fragments were not32P-labeled. Analysis of amino terminal sequences of 38, 21, and 15 kD proteolytic bands allowed the identification of the major cleavage sites. Chymotrypsin had two cleavage sites in the amino terminal region of
t
, at Leu15 and Leu19. Chymotrypsin removed 15–19 amino acid residues from the amino terminus of
t
, generating two peptides (38 kD) which comigrates in gel electrophoresis. Chymotrypsin also cleaved at Trp207 in a conformation-dependent manner. Trp207 of
t
-GTPS was resistant to proteolysis but
t
-GDP and the 38 kD fragments of
t
-GDP produced the 23 and 21 kD fragments, respectively, and a 15 kD fragment containing the carboxyl terminus. This proves that the environment of Trp207 changes when GTP or GTPS is bound, leading to its inaccessibility to chymotrypsin. 相似文献

Summary The ochre mutant oc9 of bacteriophage X174 was irradiated with -rays and the revertants were assayed on unirradiated and UV-irradiated host bacteria carrying an amber suppressor. The yield of revertants (amber+wild type) was higher on UV-irradiated than on unirradiated bacteria, showing that -irradiated X174 was subjected to W-mutagenesis.For oc9 -irradiated in the presence of oxygen the fraction of amber mutants among the revertants was lower when mutants were scored on UV-irradiated bacteria than when assayed on unirradiated indicator cells. The same fraction of ambers was obtained when mutants were assayed on unirradiated and UV-irradiated samples of a recA indicator strain. UV-irradiated X174 showed a similar phenomenon. These results suggest that the specificity with regard to insertion of bases opposite radiation damage in X174 DNA is different for host cells in which SOS repair has been induced and cells in which SOS repair is not operative. 相似文献

Summary The -glucuronidase staining characteristics of isolated T cell populations and the T and T enriched fractions derived of them were studied. T lymphocytes were obtained from purified T lymphocytes by ox-IgG rosette sedimentation. The rosette-forming cells in the pellet were referred to as T lymphocytes, whereas the lymphocytes in the interface were referred to as T depleted or T lymphocytes. B cells were studied on rosetted mononuclear cells with either mouse erythrocytes or with Staphylococcus Aureus (Cowan I) bacteria, after a preceeding polyvalent anti-human Ig treatment of the cells. While B cells showed mostly no reactivity, T and T cells were respectively characterised by a dot-like and granular pattern of reactivity. These findings are in agreement with those observed by others after -naphthyl-acetate esterase or acid phosphatase staining. Within the T lymphocyte fraction, the T non-, non lymphocytes seemed to have a granular pattern of reactivity. The same staining pattern was found in non-B, non-T lymphocytes. 相似文献

Summary The depth distributions of krill density with the resolution of 0.435 m has been obtained on the basis of SIBEX hydroacoustic data. Krill was observed to be mainly in a layer from 20 to 100 m with the maximum of biomass migrating from the near surface area at night to greater depths during day. The krill migration pattern can be described by the function: H(t)=A+Bcos (2t/T+), where H is depth of the mass center of biomass, t-time, A-mean depth of krill occurrence, B-amplitude of diurnal changes, T=24 h and -phase of migration process. The parameters of migration pattern: A, B, T and depend on the body length of krill. 相似文献

Summary The total pigment and astaxanthin content ofPhaffia rhodozyma increased with increasing concentrations -pinene up to 500 l -pinene/l. Above this concentration the total pigment and astaxanthin content as well as the biomass production decreased. The addition of 500 l -pinene/l increased the total pigment content from 1652 g/g to 2201 g/g and the astaxanthin content from 1554 g/g to 1883 g/g. A sharp decrease in maximum specific growth rate occurred above 150 l -pinene/l. 相似文献

Summary Transforming growth factor- (TGF-) is a biologically active polypeptide present in normal tissues as well as transformed cells. Two structurally related forms of this peptide are TGF-
1 and TGF-
2. Using freshly isolated cardiomyocytes and non-myocyte heart cells, and a [32P]-labelled cDNA probe to human TGF-
1, we demonstrated that mRNA for TGF-
1 could be detected only in the nonmyocyte fraction of heart cells. In the present study, the distribution of TGF-
1 in the heart was determined by immunofluorescence staining by use of a polyclonal antibody to porcine TGF-
1 in cryostat sections of rat heart. Immunofluorescence staining was intense around the blood vessels and radially diffuse in the surrounding myocardium. 相似文献

Summary A method has been developed which enables the estimation of the plant gene flow parameters p (pollen dispersal), s (seed dispersal) and t (outcrossing rate) from a selection-free continuously structured population in equilibrium. The method uses Wright's F-coefficients and introduces a new F-function which describes the genetic similarity as a function of the spatial distance. The method has been elaborated for wind pollinated plant species but can be modified for insect pollination and for animal species. In practice allozymes will provide for the necessary neutral genetic variation. The more loci used and the more intermediate the gene frequencies, the more reliable the results. For the estimation of p and t together (when the outcrossing rate is not known) at least two chromosomally unlinked loci are required. The method for estimating s depends on whether the plant species is annual or perennial. The mechanism of selfing has been analysed by the explanation of the value of t by three components: population density (d), pollen flow (p) and relative fertilization potential of own pollen (Z). The concepts of neighbourhood size and isolation by distance, developed by Wright, who used a single gene flow parameter , have been extended to the situation which is realistic for seed plants, using all three parameters p, s and t. When p is large with respect to s, s largely determines the value of the neighbourhood size, whereas p is the most dominating factor in isolation by distance. The use of local effective population size and mean gene transport per generation instead of neighbourhood size and neighbourhood area, respectively, is proposed to avoid confusion. Computer simulations have been carried out to check the validity and the reliability of the method. Populations of 200 plants, using two or three loci with intermediate allele frequencies, gave good results in the calculation of p with known value of t and of s and Ne. With unknown t, especially with lower values of t, larger populations of at least 1,000 plants are necessary to obtain reasonably accurate results for p and mean gene transport per generation M.Grassland Species Research Group Publication No. 81 相似文献

A comparative study was conducted on the effect of NH4Cl on growth, vesicle formation and formation of nitrogenase of Frankia strains Cc1.17 and Cp1.2, derived from root nodules of Colletia cruciata and Comptonia peregrina, respectively. On a medium without combined nitrogen (P-N), both strains formed spherical cells, called vesicles, like many other Frankia strains. Data are presented on the number of vesicles per mg protein, after cultivation in media with sodium propionate as C-source without combined nitrogen (P-N) or with 0.2 g NH4Cl/l (P+N). Strain Cp1.2 as may other Frankia strains, showed on P+N medium a very strong reduction of vesicle formation of 99% relative to the number of vesicles formed on P-N medium, after 11 days growth. However, in strain Cc11.17 this reduction was only 70%. The occurence of relatively large numbers of vesicles in P+N media has not yet been reported for other Frankia strains. No acetylene reduction activity was found in NH
