We report two methods for isolation of plasmid DNA from the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The protoplast alkaline lysis procedure was developed for general use, and the protoplast alkaline lysis magic procedure was developed for isolation of DNA for sequencing. Both procedures yielded large amounts of high-quality DNA in less than 1 h, while current protocols require 4 to 7 h to perform and give lower yields and quality. Plasmid DNA was obtained from strains containing either high- or low-copy-number plasmids. In addition, the procedures were easily adapted to yield large amounts of plasmid DNA suitable for sequencing from another gram-positive organism, Staphylococcus aureus. Further, we demonstrated that neither chloramphenicol, used for plasmid selection, nor the mutation recE4 reduced plasmid DNA yield from the strains we examined. 相似文献

Plasmid yield from Acidiphilium strains always had been poor following various standard methods. We adopted some simple modifications in the alkaline lysis procedure to get a better yield of plasmid from these bacteria. An approximately 10- to 20-fold increase in the plasmid yield was achieved when harvested Acidiphilium cells were preincubated 16-20 h at pH 6 in nitrogen-free medium. Another independent approach showed that freezing (-18 to -20 degrees C) of the harvested cells initially and at two subsequent steps in the alkaline lysis procedure of plasmid DNA extraction improved the yield further by 1.5- to 3-fold. The combination of these changes yielded at least 15- to 30-fold more plasmid from various Acidiphilium strains as compared with standard methods. 相似文献

Homologous recombination and mutagenesis of gamma-irradiated plasmid DNA in Escherichia coli host cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Plasmid DNA was used to study gamma-radiation-induced recombination and mutagenesis in Escherichia coli host cells. Plasmid pBRP1, a derivative of pBR322 containing the lac operon of E. coli, was irradiated with 60Co gamma rays prior to transformation into E. coli strains of different recA and lac genotypes. Plasmid-chromosome recombination was assayed in lacY1 host cells, whereas plasmid mutagenesis was assayed in delta lac host cells lacking chromosomal sequences homologous to the plasmid. Both recombinant and mutant plasmids were identified by the phenotypic changes in lactose utilization, and confirmed by restriction analysis of isolated plasmids. Plasmid-chromosome recombination was induced to high levels (about 20% of survivors at 700 Gy) and was dependent on the host recA gene. Plasmid mutagenesis occurred at lower levels (about 1.5% of survivors at 600 Gy) and was relatively independent of the recA gene. Plasmid survival was unaffected by the presence or absence of host recA mutations or the potential for plasmid-chromosome recombination. 相似文献

Covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with a molecular weight of 20 X 10(6) was identified in strains of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) of various fertility types. Hybridization studies and digestion by various restriction endonucleases indicated that the circular DNAs (pSH1) were identical regardless of the fertility type (UF, IF, or NF) of the strain from which it was isolated. The pSH1 DNA was cleaved to many fragments by the endonucleases HincII, SmaI, and SalI and to three or four fragments by BamHI and PstI. Plasmid pSH1 carries single sites for each of the two restriction enzymes, EcoRI and HindIII. These sites are 7.6 X 10(6) daltons apart. Attempts to isolate the fertility factor SCP1 as covalently closed circular DNA were unsuccessful. These data suggest that the biochemically isolated plasmid pSH1 is not identical to the genetically characterized fertility factor SCP1, which has been identified in an autonomous state in IF-type strains and in an integrated state in NF-type strains. 相似文献

A general, reliable conjugation system for Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the absence of plant tissue is described in which A. tumefaciens can serve either as the donor or recipient of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid with reasonable efficiency. Plasmid RP4 was transferred from Escherichia coli to A. tumefaciens and from strain of A. tumefaciens. Both RP4 and the A. tumefaciens virulence-associated plasmids were detected by alkaline sucrose gradients in A. tumefaciens strains A6 and C58 after mating with E. coli J53(RP4). The pathogenicity (tumor foramtion) of strains A6 and C58 and the sensitivity of strain C58 to bacteriocin 84 were unaffected by the acquistion of RP4 by the Agrobacterium strains. Plasmid R1drd-19 was not transferred to A. tumefaciens. Transformation experiments with plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid were unsuccessful, even though, in the case of RP4, conjugation studies showed taht the deoxyribonucleic acid was compatible with that of the recipient strains. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare the plasmid contents of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains classified into different clonal clusters (CCs). The isolates were collected from 15 Czech hospitals in 2000-2008. Plasmid DNA was detected in 65 (89%) strains, and 33 of them harbored more than one plasmid type. Altogether 24 different types of plasmids were identified, ranging in size from 1.3 to 55 kb. Restriction endonuclease analysis, plasmid elimination, DNA hybridization, and sequencing were used for their further characterization. It has been found that the conjugative, erythromycin resistance and enterotoxin D encoding plasmids are harbored by strains from different CCs. On the other hand, chloramphenicol and tetracycline resistance plasmids, and most of the penicillinase and cryptic plasmids were only detected in certain CCs. Especially, the pUSA300-like plasmids were found exclusively in the USA300 clone strains. The high diversity in plasmid content detected in the study strains implies that plasmids play a major role in evolution of MRSA clonal lineages. 相似文献

Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from sediments in wells showed a greater bacteriocinogenic activity in those isolated from river and clinical specimens. More than half of all the strains examined had extrachromosomal DNA. Plasmid DNA was extracted from all the strains and in only 24/120, all from different origins, was the curing achieved; all these strains coded their bacteriocins in the chromosomal DNA. 相似文献

Three new Acetobacter strains were isolated from vinegar. By plasmid profiling they were recognized as genotypically different from each other.
Sequencing of the genes for 16S and 23S rRNA and DNA–DNA hybridization of total DNA against DNA of all type strains of Acetobacter identified Acetobacter strains JK2 and V3 as A. europaeus, and Acetobacter strain JK3 as A. intermedius. In contrast to the type strain of A. europaeus (DSM 6160), A. europaeus JK2 and V3 do not require acetic acid for growth and can be successfully transferred between media with and without acetic
acid. This phenotypic characteristic enables convenient handling of both strains in genetic studies. Plasmid pJK2-1 from A. europaeus JK2 was used as the basis for shuttle plasmid construction with the aim of developing an efficient vector system for these
strains. The entire nucleotide sequence of pJK2-1 was determined. High amino acid identities were found for three open reading
frames: Rep (replication protein); Dinj1 (DNA damage inducible enzyme); and Dinj2 proteins. A recombinant plasmid pUCJK2-1
(5.6 kb) consisting of the entire plasmid pJK2-1 and the entire plasmid pUC18 was successfully used in transformation experiments.
Plasmid pJT2 (5.8 kb) was constructed from pUCJK2-1 with the aim of reactivating the lacZ′ gene.

Plasmid constructs are described that carry retrievable DNA cassettes containing the origin of transfer region (oriT) from two broad-host-range plasmids. Restriction of these high copy number plasmids with any one of a variety of enzymes yields a linear DNA fragment of convenient size containing the oriT region of either pCUI or RK2. This DNA can be ligated into any vector or recombinant plasmid containing a compatible enzyme site and can be easily identified by size on an agarose gel. Any plasmid can therefore be mobilized using a number of helper strains or conjugative plasmids derived from the parental plasmids. In addition, the cassettes can be used for a variety of genetic manipulations including "selectable" linker mutagenesis. 相似文献

Increased production of a knotted form of plasmid pBR322 DNA in Escherichia coli DNA topoisomerase mutants 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Plasmid pBR322 prepared from Escherichia coli strains carrying deletion of the DNA topoisomerase I gene (delta topA) with a compensatory mutation of the DNA gyrase gene (gyrA or gyrB) and from their TopA+ transductants was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis followed by electron microscopy, and compared with that from isogenic wild-type strains. It was found that about 1% of the plasmid DNA molecules was a knotted species in the topA+ gyr+ strains W3110 and DM4100, while strains DM750 (delta topA gyrA224), DM800 (delta topA gyrB225), SD275 (topA+ gyrA224) and SD108 (topA+ gyrB225) produced six to ten times as much knotted DNA as the topA+ gyr+ controls. The results suggest that the increased production of knotted pBR322 DNA is closely related to mutations of the gyrase genes. 相似文献

Probiotic potential of enterococci isolated from canine feed 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Enterococci isolated from 28 different commercially available feeds (10-1000 CFU/mL) were identified and their probiotic potential was determined. Species identification of 22 selected strains was performed by intergenic length-polymorphism analysis (tRNA-PCR); PCR products were analyzed using capillary electrophoresis. Six strains were allotted to the species Enterococcus faecium, four to E. faecalis, one to E. hirae; the remaining strains were not classed. The strains were sensitive to vancomycin, ampicillin, tetracycline and rifampicin. They were able to adhere to human as well as canine intestinal mucus. They produced lactic acid (0.99-1.04 mmol/L) and most of them were urease-positive with sufficient survival in 5 % Oxgall-bile. They did not show any inhibitory activity due to antimicrobial substances. Plasmid DNA was detected in 8 strains, the bands responding to small molecular size (10 kbp). Considering all probiotically important properties, E. faecium strain EE3 was suggested as potential feed additive. 相似文献

Plasmid DNA was detected in Pseudomonas putida 141 and P. stutzeri AT strains which caused destruction of the ampholytic surfactants alkylamino-bis-propionate (AABP) and amidobetaine, respectively. As was demonstrated using genetic analytic procedures, the plasmids controlled AABP and amidobetaine destruction. No plasmid DNA was found in P. desmolytica C37 which caused cyclimide destruction or in Pseudomonas sp. 1 and Citrobacter freundii TO strains responsible for AABP destruction. Apparently, destruction of these xenobiotics was controlled by chromosomal genes. 相似文献

Five of fifty five strains of Salmonella typhimurium of human origin was hybridized with both the LT-A and LT-B gene of Escherichia coli. The remarkably erythromatous and indurated response on rabbit skin and significant elongation of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells indicated the production of enterotoxin of these isolates. The Salmonella enterotoxin is heat-labile and is not a secretory product. The LT gene of E. coli was used to analyze the chromosome and plasmid DNA from Salmonella typhimurium strains for toxin gene sequences. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that the toxin gene was located on the plasmid but not on the chromosome. Restriction enzymes BamHI, EcoRI, HindIII and PstI were used to analyze the DNA isolated from salmonella strains Nos.22, 52, 55 and 59. Three DNA fragments with size of 5.2 Kb of strain 22, 5.0 Kb of strain 52 and 8.6 Kb of strain 59 were identified as containing the enterotoxin gene. Plasmid pUC19 was used as the vector to clone these DNA fragments in E. coli. The rabbit skin permeability test indicated that Salmonella enterotoxin could be synthesized at readily detectable levels in these transformed E. coli. 相似文献

Plasmid profiles and curing of plasmids in Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from green olive fermentations. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Plasmid profiles of 35 Lactobacillus plantarum strains isolated from different green olive fermentors were obtained. A large number of plasmids in the CCC form (from 5 to 16) were present in all the tested strains as confirmed by a second dimension electrophoresis of DNA. These plasmids, all of which remain cryptic, ranged from 2.0 to 68 kb in size. Novobiocin, sodium dodecyl sulphate and ethidium bromide were used as plasmid-curing agents but only novobiocin induced loss of extrachromosomal DNA at a high frequency in these strains. 相似文献

G.W. PETTIBONE, J.P. MEAR AND B.M. SAMPSELL. 1996. Seventy-four strains of Aeromonas were isolated from skin, intestine, kidney and liver of 16 brown bullhead ( Ictalurus nebulosus ). All strains demonstrated multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) with most strains resistant to rifampin (97%), novobiocin (96%) and vancomycin (85%). The minimum inhibitory concentration of eight metals to selected strains of Aeromonas revealed an apparent toxicity of chromium > copper > cadmium > nickel > mercury > zinc > cobalt > lead, based on the percentage of isolates sensitive to each concentration of metal. Plasmid DNA was found in 36% (27) of the isolates and most plasmid-containing strains had multiple plasmids less than 12 kilobase pairs (kbp) in size. No relationship between plasmid content and antibiotic or metal resistance was found. Plasmid incidence in bacteria isolated from five fish indicated that plasmids were more likely to occur in strains isolated from kidney and liver than in strains isolated from skin and intestine. 相似文献
