Heterogeneity of deoxyribonucleic acid molecules isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis. 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0 下载免费PDF全文
Bulk chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) of Mycobacterium smegmatis strains 607+ (wild type) and 607-1 (Strr) and orange-red pigmented variants (OR) were separated into two distinct bands (types 1 and 2) by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. Thermal denaturation analyses showed that type 1 and 2 DNA fragments of these strains possessed guanine plus cytosine contents averaging 69.2% and 60.8%, respectively. Type 1 and 2 DNAs from all strains tested were recovered in relatively equal quantities upon isolation and were found to have similar molecular weights (3.0 x 10(7)). Spectrophotometric assay of DNA reassociation showed that homology between any type 1 and 2 DNA fragments was always very low (29 to 33%), even within the same strain. Homologies among type 1 DNAs isolated from any strain were always high (92 to 98%), whereas homologies between type 2 DNA isolated from OR strains and that from their parental strain 607-1 were lower (51 to 55%). Transformation experiments revealed that methionine, leucine, folic acid, and streptomycin markers were found exclusively in type 1 DNA fragments. In addition to the two types of chromosomal DNA, plasmid DNA possessing a molecular weight of about 4 x 10(6) was found in strain 607-1. 相似文献

Physiological factors involved in the transformation of Mycobacterium smegmatis. 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
Transfer of streptomycin resistance and changes from methionine and leucine auxotrophy to prototrophy were achieved in Mycobacterium smegmatis by transformation. Recipient cells were more resistant to mitomycin C and methyl methlanesulfonate treatments than were wild-type cells. A high level of calcium ions was essential for transformation, especially during DNA adsorption, whereas the presence of magnesium ions and the exposure of recipient cells to mild doses of UV light enhanced recombination frequencies. Transformants were not isolated when recipient cell-DNA mixtures were first treated with deoxyribonuclease. Recipient cells at various stages of growth showed similar transformabilities. Transformation was successful only when recipient cells were incubated on rich agar medium after mixture with DNA. Exposure of recipient cells to Pronase before treatment with donor DNA did not affect transformation, suggesting the absence of a protein competence factor. Throughout the present experiments, cotransformation frequencies were very low and unselected-marker segregation patterns were independent, indicating that the methionine, leucine, and streptomycin markers are not closely linked in M. smegmatis. 相似文献

We demonstrate the value of the thermotolerant yeast Issatchenkia orientalis as a candidate microorganism for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass with the goal of consolidated bioprocessing.
The I. orientalis MF-121 strain is acid tolerant, ethanol tolerant, and thermotolerant, and is thus a multistress-tolerant yeast. To express
heterologous proteins in I. orientalis, we constructed a transformation system for the MF-121 strain and then isolated the promoters of TDH1 and PGK1, two genes that were found to be strongly expressed during ethanol fermentation. As a result, expression of β-glucosidase
from Aspergillus aculeatus could be achieved with I. orientalis, demonstrating successful heterologous gene expression in I. orientalis for the first time. The transformant could convert cellobiose to ethanol under acidic conditions and at high temperature.
Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was performed with the transformant, which produced 29 g l−1 of ethanol in 72 h at 40°C even without addition of β-glucosidase when SSF was carried out in medium containing 100 g l−1 of microcrystalline cellulose and a commercial cellulase preparation. These results suggest that using a genetically engineered
thermotolerant yeast such as I. orientalis in SSF could lead to cost reduction because less saccharification enzymes are required. 相似文献

DNA isolated from Mycobacterium leprae: genome size, base ratio, and homology with other related bacteria as determined by optical DNA-DNA reassociation 总被引:7,自引:2,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
DNA derived from Mycobacterium leprae (grown in armadillos) was isolated, purified, and analyzed spectrophotometrically. The genome size and the guanine-plus-cytosine content of M. leprae were 1.3 x 10(9) and 55.8%, respectively. Among selected strains of mycobacterial, nocardial, and corynebacterial species, Corynebacterium sp. 2628 LB, isolated from a human leprosy patient, showed the highest DNA homology with M. leprae. Of the DNAs derived from mycobacteria, those of M. tuberculosis and M. scrofulaceum showed a comparatively high reassociation with the DNMA of M. liprae. 相似文献
