Native Plasmid-Encoded Mercury Resistance Genes Are Functional and Demonstrate Natural Transformation in Environmental Bacterial Isolates [PDF]

mSystems, 2019
Plasmid-mediated horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driver of genetic diversity in bacteria. We experimentally validated the function of a putative mercury resistance operon present on an abundant 8-kbp native plasmid found in groundwater samples ...

Identification of the Natural Transformation Genes in Riemerella anatipestifer by Random Transposon Mutagenesis [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
In our previous study, it was shown that Riemerella anatipestifer, a Gram-negative bacterium, is naturally competent, but the genes involved in the process of natural transformation remain largely unknown.

HopE and HopD Porin-Mediated Drug Influx Contributes to Intrinsic Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Inhibits Streptomycin Resistance Acquisition by Natural Transformation in Helicobacter pylori

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Helicobacter pylori is a human pathogen competent for natural transformation. Intrinsic and acquired antibiotic resistance contribute to the survival and multiplication of H. pylori under antibiotics.

Natural Competence in the Filamentous, Heterocystous Cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii PCC 6912

mSphere, 2022
Lateral gene transfer plays an important role in the evolution of genetic diversity in prokaryotes. DNA transfer via natural transformation depends on the ability of recipient cells to actively transport DNA from the environment into the cytoplasm ...

Automating Cloning by Natural Transformation [PDF]

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2020
Affordable and automated cloning platforms are essential to many synthetic biology studies. However, the traditional E. coli-based cloning is a major bottleneck as it requires heat shock or electroporation implemented in the robotic workflows. To overcome this problem, we explored bacterial natural transformation for automatic DNA cloning and ...
