A natural isolate of RP4 (PRC#116) acquired from the Stanford University Plasmid Reference Center differed from the wild-type Incompatibility Group P plasmid in several respects. Cells of Escherichia coli harboring PRC#116 were resistant to the IncP pili-specific bacteriophage PRD1 and GU5, and transferred this plasmid at a lower efficiency than the wild-type RP4. Phage sensitivity was restored, and transfer considerably improved in PRC#116+ bacteria transformed with plasmid constructs containing the origin of transfer (oriT region) of RP4. Mutant RP4 plasmids equivalent to PRC#116 were selected at a high frequency from an RP4+ E. coli population infected with PRD1 indicating that this RP4 variant may be the product of a very common mutation of the wild-type plasmid. 相似文献

Mild acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide of Citrobacter youngae O9, strain PCM 1538 released a homopolysaccharide of 4-acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (D-Rha4NAc, N-acetyl-D-perosamine). Studies by methylation analysis and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, using two-dimensional (1)H,(1)H COSY, TOCSY, NOESY and H-detected (1)H,(13)C HSQC experiments showed the presence of two structurally different polysaccharides consisting of the following units: -->)-alpha-D-Rhap4NAc-(1 --> and --> 3)-alpha-D-Rhap4NAc-(1 --> 3)-beta-D-Rhap4NAc-(1 -->. 相似文献

A GFPmut3b-tagged derivative of broad host-range plasmid RP4 was used to monitor the conjugative transfer of the plasmid from a Pseudomonas putida donor strain to indigenous bacteria in activated sludge. Transfer frequencies were determined to be in the range of 4 x 10(-6) to 1 x 10(-5) transconjugants per recipient. In situ hybridisation with fluorescently labeled, rRNA-targeted oligonucleotides was used to phylogenetically affiliate the bacteria that had received the plasmid. 相似文献

Summary After infection of sensitive cells in the absence of a helper phage, the satellite bacteriophage P4 enters a temporary phase of uncommitted replication followed by commitment to either the repressed-integrated condition or the derepressed-high copy number mode of replication. The transient phase and the stable plasmid condition differ from each other in the pattern of protein synthesis, in the rate of P4 DNA replication and in the expression of some gene functions. The regulatory condition characteristic of the P4 plasmid state affects a superinfecting genome, preventing the establishment of the P4 immune condition. 相似文献

Serological studies using SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting revealed that from five strains that are ascribed to Citrobacter serogroup O2, four strains, PCM 1494, PCM 1495, PCM 1496 and PCM 1507, are reactive with specific anti-Citrobacter O2 serum. In contrast, strain PCM 1573 did not react with anti-Citrobacter O2 serum and, hence, does not belong to serogroup O2. The LPS of Citrobacter youngae O2a,1b (strain PCM 1507) was degraded under mild acidic conditions and the O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) released was isolated by gel chromatography. Sugar and methylation analyses along with (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional (1)H,(1)H COSY, TOCSY, NOESY and (1)H,(13)C HSQC experiments, showed that the repeating unit of the OPS has the following structure: [structure: see text]. NMR spectroscopic studies demonstrated that Citrobacter werkmanii O20 and C. youngae O25 have the same OPS structure as C. youngae O2. Sugar and methylation analyses of the core oligosaccharide fractions demonstrated structural differences in the lipopolysaccharide core regions of these strains, which may substantiate their classification in different serogroups. 相似文献

Abstract The determinants for a haemolysin from an extraintestinal isolate of Citrobacter freundii have been cloned and expressed in both Escherichia coli K12 and phylogenetically related bacteria. Compared with E. coli , where the haemolytic determinants are encoded in 7.5 kb, the hemolysin determinants of C. freundii are located on a 2.5-kb Hin dIII fragment in the recombinant plasmid PJP71. Chicken embryo tests indicate that this haemolysin does contribute to the pathogenicity of C. freundii . 相似文献

Abstract The symbiotic plasmid pRHc1J of Rhizobium 'hedysari' has been transferred to different Rhizobium species. It expression and incompatibility with the recipient resident plasmids as well as the effect of the host plants on the selection of Rhizobium symbiotic information has been studied. When the symbiotic plasmid pRHc1J was transferred to Nod+ Fix+ Rhizobium species, it underwent specific deletions, either spontaneously or after the passage of transconjugants through plants, leading to the loss of some essential nod genes. 相似文献

The large conjugative multidrug resistance (MDR) plasmid pOLA52 was sequenced and annotated. The plasmid encodes two phenotypes normally associated with the chromosomes of opportunistic pathogens, namely MDR via a resistance-nodulation-division (RND)-type efflux-pump (oqxAB), and the formation of type 3 fimbriae (mrkABCDF). The plasmid was found to be 51,602 bp long with 68 putative genes. About half of the plasmid constituted a conserved IncX1-type backbone with predicted regions for conjugation, replication and partitioning, as well as a toxin/antitoxin (TA) plasmid addiction system. The plasmid was also classified as IncX1 with incompatibility testing. The conjugal transfer and plasmid maintenance regions of pOLA52 therefore seem to represent IncX1 orthologues of the well-characterized IncX2 plasmid R6K. Sequence homology searches in GenBank also suggested a considerably higher prevalence of IncX1 group plasmids than IncX2. The 21 kb 'genetic load' region of pOLA52 was shown to consist of a mosaic, among other things a fragmented Tn3 transposon encoding ampicillin resistance. Most notably the oqxAB and mrkABCDF cassettes were contained within two composite transposons (Tn6010 and Tn6011) that seemed to originate from Klebsiella pneumoniae, thus demonstrating the capability of IncX1 plasmids of facilitating lateral transfer of gene cassettes between different Enterobacteriaceae. 相似文献

Mass production of glucosamine (GlcN) using microbial cells is a worthy approach to increase added values and keep safety problems in GlcN production process. Prior to set up a microbial cellular platform, this study was to assess acetate metabolism in Citrobacter sp. BL-4 (BL-4) which has produced a polyglucosamine PGB-2. The LC-MS analysis was conducted after protein separation on the 1D-PAGE to accomplish the purpose of this study. 280 proteins were totally identified and 188 proteins were separated as acetate-related proteins in BL-4. Acetate was converted to acetyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA synthetase up-regulated in the acetate medium. The glyoxylate bypass in the acetate medium was up-regulated with over-expression of isocitrate lyases and 2D-PAGE confirmed this differential expression. Using (1)H-NMR analysis, the product of isocitrate lyases, succinate, increased about 15 times in the acetate medium. During acetate metabolism proteins involved in the lipid metabolism and hexosamine biosynthesis were over-expressed in the acetate medium, while proteins involved in TCA cycle, pentose phosphate cycle and purine metabolism were down-regulated. Taken together, the results from the proteomic analysis can be applied to improve GlcN production and to develop metabolic engineering in BL-4. 相似文献

Postbloom fruit drop (PFD) of citrus is caused by Colletotrichum acutatum. PFD isolates infect flower petals, induce abscission of small fruit and can cause severe yield loss on most citrus cultivars. Isolates from Key lime anthracnose (KLA) cause that disease on the Mexican lime, but also cause PFD on sweet orange. Both PFD and KLA isolates exhibited resistance to the common selection agents including hygromycin, bialaphos, benomyl and geneticin/G418. A genetic transformation system was developed for C. acutatum to confer resistance to sulfonylurea (chlorimuron ethyl) by expressing an acetolactate synthase gene (sur) cassette from Magnaporthe grisea. The protocol was tested on 11 different KLA and PFD isolates. The transformation frequencies were highly variable among isolates and among experiments (0-17.9 per microg circular DNA using 10(7) protoplasts). Southern blot analysis of transformants indicated that the plasmid vector was randomly integrated in multiple copies into the genome of C. acutatum. Addition of restriction enzymes or use of a vector with homologous sequences did not change the transformation frequencies, but tended to reduce the number integrated. Over 97% of the transformants retained the sulfonylurea resistance phenotype under non-selective conditions. Of 300 transformants tested, three were unable to cause necrotic lesions on detached Key lime leaves. The transformation method opens up opportunities for the genetic manipulation of C. acutatum. 相似文献

Summary We have tested for the presence of the receptor for the Escherichia coli phage T4 in different isolates of the plant pathogenic enterobacteria Erwinia carotora subsp. carotovora and subsp. atroseptica. Several of the isolates appeared to contain a functional T4 receptor as shown by phage adsorption and phage-induced lysis of the bacteria. Two of the isolates could even sustain lytic growth of T4. In addition, we show that the transducing derivative of T4, T4GT7, can be employed to transfer plasmids from E. coli to E. carotovora thus opening up new possibilities for genetic analysis of Erwinia. 相似文献

Identification of components of a new stability system of plasmid R1, ParD, that is close to the origin of replication of this plasmid 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

Summary We provide evidence that a mutation which derepresses an autoregulated system that is located in the vicinity of the basic replicon of R1, stabilizes the ParA- and ParB- miniplasmid of R1 pKN1562, without increasing its copy number. The system, which we have called ParD, maps inside the 1.45-kb PstI-EcoRI fragment that is adjacent to the origin of replication of the plasmid. Two protiens whose expression is coordinated are components of the system. The sequence of the PstI-EcoRI fragment was obtained. The wild-type ParD system determines in cis a basal but detectable stability. 相似文献

The first research paper on photosynthesis in China was published by T.T. Li2 in 1929. Two photosynthesis laboratories were established in Shanghai and Beijing in the 1950s and the 1960s, respectively.
A photophosphorylation `intermediate' was discovered after the energy conversion process was separated into light and dark
phases in the 1960s. Since the 1980s, research has accelerated at several different levels through efforts of a large number
of scientists in China.
This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Abstract A cryptic plasmid, pUCL287, was isolated from Tetragenococcus halophila (Pediococcus halophilus) ATCC 33315. It had a theta-type mechanism of replication in its natural host. Its minimal replicon, Rep 281, was isolated on a 1.6-kb Eco RI fragment. The Rep 287 host range included the genera Pediococcus, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc but not genus Lactococcus . Plasmids hybridizing to pUCL287 are rare among lactic acid bacteria. As assessed by hybridization, Rep2Sl is dissimilar to pAMβ1, pIP50l and pUCL22, representatives of the most common theta-type replicon groups in Gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, pUCL287 appears to represent a new theta-type replicon family from lactic acid bacteria. 相似文献
