Comparative genomic analysis of Acinetobacter spp. plasmids originating from clinical settings and environmental habitats [PDF]
, 2018 Bacteria belonging to the genus Acinetobacter have become of clinical importance over the last decade due to the development of a multi-resistant phenotype and their ability to survive under multiple environmental conditions.

Conjugal Transfer of Genetic Information in Group N Streptococci [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1980 Streptococcus lactis strains ML3 and C 2 O and S. lactis subsp. diacetylactis strains DRC3, 11007, and WM 4 were found to transfer lactose-fermenting ability to LM0230, an S. lactis C2 lactose-negative (Lac

Midbiotics: conjugative plasmids for genetic engineering of natural gut flora [PDF]
Gut Microbes, 2019 The possibility to modify gut bacterial flora has become an important goal, and various approaches are used to achieve desirable communities. However, the genetic engineering of existing microbes in the gut, which are already compatible with the rest of the community and host immune system, has not received much attention.

Genetic Engineering and Chemical Conjugation of Potato Virus X [PDF]
, 2013 Here we report the genetic engineering and chemical modification of potato virus X (PVX) for the presentation of various peptides, proteins, and fluorescent dyes, or other chemical modifiers. Three different ways of genetic engineering are described and by these means, peptides are successfully expressed not only when the foot and mouth disease virus ...
