Distinct genealogies for plasmids and chromosome [PDF]

, 2014
An earlier perspective on the diversity of conjugative elements in microbes [1] attempted to provide a broad audience with an introductory overview of the arcane biology of mobile genetic elements and their terminologies. It might well have been entitled

PLSDB: a resource of complete bacterial plasmids

Nucleic Acids Res., 2018
The study of bacterial isolates or communities requires the analysis of the therein included plasmids in order to provide an extensive characterization of the organisms. Plasmids harboring resistance and virulence factors are of especial interest as they

Vaccination with DNA plasmids expressing Gn coupled to C3d or alphavirus replicons expressing Gn protects mice against rift valley fever virus [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arthropod-borne viral zoonosis. Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is an important biological threat with the potential to spread to new susceptible areas. In addition, it is a potential biowarfare agent. Methodology/

Potential of Bacillus pumilus Bp4185 and Bacillus thuringiensis Bt3971 for coffee berry borer biocontrol

Biotecnología Vegetal, 2020
Coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei), is one of the main pests affecting coffee production worldwide. This pest feeds and reproduces inside the berry reducing its weight and quality, causing losses up to 50%.

Eigensolutions and spectral analysis of a model for vertical gene transfer of plasmids [PDF]

, 2018
Plasmids are autonomously replicating genetic elements in bacteria. At cell division plasmids are distributed among the two daughter cells. This gene transfer from one generation to the next is called vertical gene transfer. We study the dynamics of a bacterial population carrying plasmids and are in particular interested in the long-time distribution ...

Mangrove microniches determine the structural and functional diversity of enriched petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading consortia [PDF]

, 2010
In this study, the combination of culture enrichments and molecular tools was used to identify bacterial guilds, plasmids and functional genes potentially important in the process of petroleum hydrocarbon (PH) decontamination in mangrove microniches ...

Phage-plasmids promote recombination and emergence of phages and plasmids

Nature Communications
Phages and plasmids are regarded as distinct types of mobile genetic elements that drive bacterial evolution by horizontal gene transfer. However, the distinction between both types is blurred by the existence of elements known as prophage-plasmids or ...

Nanopore MinION Sequencing Reveals Possible Transfer of blaKPC–2 Plasmid Across Bacterial Species in Two Healthcare Facilities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae are a major threat to global public health. Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC) is the most commonly identified carbapenemase in the United States and is frequently found on mobile genetic elements ...

Asymmetrical inheritance of plasmids depends on dynamic cellular geometry and volume exclusion effects [PDF]

, 2015
The asymmetrical inheritance of plasmid DNA, as well as other cellular components, has been shown to be involved in replicative aging. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, there is an ongoing debate regarding the mechanisms underlying this important asymmetry. Currently proposed models suggest it is established via diffusion, but differ on whether a diffusion ...
