Genetics and genetic engineering ofZymomonas mobilis
World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1993Present knowledge on the genetics of the ethanologenic anaerobeZymomonas mobilis includes background information on: size, restriction, and to some extent hybridization, analysis of indigenous plasmids; mutagenesis and isolation of a wide variety of auxotrophic, drug resistant and conditional mutants; construction of shuttle cloning vectors able to ...

Genetically engineered kidneys
Pediatric Nephrology, 1993We review the available methods of creating genetically engineered kidneys. These include transgenic technology to introduce novel genes or delete existing genes and methods of gene transfer into the post-natal or adult kidney. The use of such technology has provided insights into renal development and growth and created new animal models of human ...

Genetic Engineering: Evolution
2010This entry traces the early evolution of genetic engineering from its beginnings, in unrelated fields of basic science, to the present day. The results of this fundamental scientific research have led to the development of a multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry, producing innovative human and animal health care products and improved varieties of ...

Genetically engineered vaccines
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2005The application of recombinant DNA technology to allergen research has provided the sequence information and genetic material to produce new types of allergy vaccines. One general strategy has been to use the knowledge to produce synthetic peptides that represent selected T-cell or B-cell epitopes.

One of the most powerful laboratory tools used in biotechnology is the engineering of specific genes. This chapter will cover methods of cutting double-stranded DNA, inserting it into plasmids, and sealing the plasmids. The use of plasmids allows for their amplification via prokaryotes such as E. coli.

Genetic engineering of bacilli
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1983Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a major cloning system. In this paper we analyse the vectors, vehicles and strategy for cloning. Solutions to current problems in genetic engineering including the development of standard fermentation strains are proposed.

Human Reproduction Update, 1995
Until now most research, and its funding, has been focused on animal and human health care as well as simple microbiological model systems such as Escherichia coli and yeast. Molecular plant studies have generally lagged behind, often simply adapting discoveries from the animal field to plants.

Genetic Engineering in Floriculture
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 2005The global flower industry thrives on novelty. Genetic engineering is providing a valuable means of expanding the floriculture gene pool so promoting the generation of new commercial varieties. Commercialisation of genetically engineered flowers is currently confined to novel coloured carnations.

Genetic Engineering of Livestock
Science, 1989Genetic engineering of livestock is expected to have a major effect on the agricultural industry. However, accurate assessment of the consequences of transgene expression is impossible without multigenerational studies. A systematic study of the beneficial and adverse consequences of long-term elevations in the plasma levels of bovine growth hormone ...
