Chlorine disinfection promotes the exchange of antibiotic resistance genes across bacterial genera by natural transformation

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2020
Chlorine disinfection to drinking water plays an important role in preventing and controlling waterborne disease outbreaks globally. Nevertheless, little is known about why it enriches the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in bacteria after chlorination.

Bacterial Inactivation of Transforming Deoxyribonucleate [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1971
Competent and noncompetent bacteria are able to bind deoxyribonucleate (DNA). The consequence of this binding is different for the two types of bacteria. Competent bacteria are able to utilize the DNA for transformation. DNA exposed to noncompetent bacteria loses its biological activity with a coincident reduction in the double-stranded molecular ...

Non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals enhance the transmission of exogenous antibiotic resistance genes through bacterial transformation

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2020
Antibiotic resistance is a serious global threat for public health. Considering the high abundance of cell-free DNA encoding antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in both clinical and environmental settings, natural transformation is an important horizontal

A DNase encoded by integrated element CJIE1 inhibits natural transformation of Campylobacter jejuni [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The species Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is considered naturally competent for DNA uptake and displays strong genetic diversity. Nevertheless, non-naturally transformable strains and several relatively stable clonal lineages exist.

The bacterial transformation of abietic acid [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1968
An Alcaligenes species, which was isolated from soil, can utilize abietic acid as its sole carbon source. During growth, the bacterium transforms abietic acid into 5α-hydroxyabietic acid (I, R=OH), a product considered to be 7β-hydroxy-13-isopropyl-8ξ-podocarp-13-en-15-oic acid (II, R=H) and a compound, C20H28O3, which is believed to be an epoxy-γ ...

Bacterial community and arsenic functional genes diversity in arsenic contaminated soils from different geographic locations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
To understand how soil microbial communities and arsenic (As) functional genes respond to soil arsenic (As) contamination, five soils contaminated with As at different levels were collected from diverse geographic locations, incubated for 54 days under ...

Bacterial Transformation of Aromatic Monomers in Softwood Black Liquor

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The valorization of lignin, a major component of plant-derived biomass, is essential to sustainable biorefining. We identified the major monoaromatic compounds present in black liquor, a lignin-rich stream generated in the kraft pulping process, and ...
