Surface charges effects on the 2D conformation of supercoiled DNA [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
We have adsorbed plasmid PuC19 DNA on a supported bilayer. The mobility of the lipids within the bilayer ensured a 2D equilibrium of the DNA molecule. By varying the fraction of cationic lipids in the membrane, we have tuned the surface charge. Plasmids conformations were imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).We performed two sets of experiments ...

What traits are carried on mobile genetic elements, and why? [PDF]

, 2010
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally.

Auxotrophy-Independent Plasmid Shuttle Vectors for Applications in Diverse Yeasts

Applied Microbiology
Plasmid shuttle vectors are a common tool used to study yeast physiology. The majority of yeast plasmids have been optimized for Saccharomyces cerevisiae lab strain compatibility, relying on auxotrophic complementation as their selective property.

Genomic Evolution of Two Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Strains from ST-2 Clones Isolated in 2000 and 2010 (ST-2_clon_2000 and ST-2_clon_2010) [PDF]

, 2016
Acinetobacter baumannii is a successful nosocomial pathogen due to its ability to persist in hospital environments by acquiring mobile elements such as transposons, plasmids, and phages. In this study, we compared two genomes of A.

Antibiotic resistance begets more resistance: chromosomal resistance mutations mitigate fitness costs conferred by multi-resistant clinical plasmids

Microbiology Spectrum
Plasmids are the primary vectors of horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. Previous studies have shown that the spread and maintenance of plasmids among bacterial populations depend on the genetic makeup of both the plasmid ...

Degradative plasmids from sphingomonads.

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2014
Large plasmids ('megaplasmids') are commonly found in members of the Alphaproteobacterial family Sphingomonadaceae ('sphingomonads'). These plasmids contribute to the extraordinary catabolic flexibility of this group of organisms, which degrade a broad ...
