Mathematical and experimental approaches to the dimer catastrophe theory [PDF]
Multicopy plasmids rely on random distribution for stable inheritance by daughter cells at division. Threats to plasmid copy number increase the probability of plasmid loss, which can be detrimental to both plasmid and host. Plasmid dimers emerge through

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important nosocomial pathogen that often complicates treatment because of its high level of resistance to antibiotics. Though plasmids can potentially introduce various genes into bacterial strains, compared to other Gram ...

Examination of plasmid stability in a recombinant organism used in continuous fermentation [PDF]
The gene for the enzyme D-GPA dehalogenase has been cloned into a multi-copy plasmid to produce the vector pTB316. It was transformed into two strains of Pseu- domonas putida , AJl-23 and NCIB11767 in the hope of increasing production of this enzyme. The

Enhanced transformation efficiency of recalcitrant Bacillus cereus and Bacillus weihenstephanensis isolates upon in vitro methylation of plasmid DNA [PDF]
Digestion patterns of chromosomal DNAs of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus weihenstephanensis strains suggest that Sau3AI-type restriction modification systems are widely present among the isolates tested.

Minimum Antibiotic Levels for Selecting a Resistance Plasmid in a Gnotobiotic Animal Model [PDF]
The minimum antibiotic concentrations for selecting an R plasmid in vivo were determined in germfree rates colonized by two isogenic strains of Escherichia coli, one of which carried an R plasmid.

The eradication of Listeria monocytogenes from food chains is still a great challenge for the food industry and control authorities since some clonal complexes (CCs) are either better adapted to food processing environments (FPEs) or are globally ...

Intracellular Delivery of DNA and Protein by a Novel Cell-Permeable Peptide Derived from DOT1L
Cellular uptake and intracellular release efficiency of biomacromolecules is low because of hurdles in the cell membrane that result in limited access to intra-cellular targets with few functional effects.
