Remarkable stability of an instability-prone lentiviral vector plasmid in Escherichia coli Stbl3 [PDF]

, 2012
Large-scale production of plasmid DNA to prepare therapeutic gene vectors or DNA-based vaccines requires a suitable bacterial host, which can stably maintain the plasmid DNA during industrial cultivation.

Structure-function studies reveal ComEA contains an oligomerization domain essential for transformation in gram-positive bacteria

Nature Communications, 2022
ComEA is a DNA-binding protein required for DNA uptake during bacterial transformation. Here, Ahmed et al. determine X-ray crystal structures of ComEA from Gram-positive bacteria, identifying a domain that is absent in Gram-negative bacteria and drives ...

The replication of DNA in Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 1958
Studies of bacterial transformation and bacteriaphage infection (1-5) strongly indicate that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) can carry and transmit hereditary information and can direct its own replication.

Transgene-free genome editing in marine algae by bacterial conjugation – comparison with biolistic CRISPR/Cas9 transformation

Scientific Reports, 2018
The CRISPR/Cas9 technology has opened the possibility for targeted genome editing in various organisms including diatom model organisms. One standard method for delivery of vectors to diatom cells is by biolistic particle bombardment.

Mechanism of transformation in Mycobacteria using a novel shockwave assisted technique driven by in-situ generated oxyhydrogen

Scientific Reports, 2017
We present a novel method for shockwave-assisted bacterial transformation using a miniature oxyhydrogen detonation-driven shock tube. We have obtained transformation efficiencies of about 1.28 × 106, 1.7 × 106, 5 × 106, 1 × 105, 1 × 105 and 2 × 105 ...

Lactobacillus bile salt hydrolase substrate specificity governs bacterial fitness and host colonization

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance The transformation of bile acids (BAs) by the gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as an important factor shaping host health. The prerequisite step of BA metabolism is carried out by bile salt hydrolases (BSHs), which are encoded by ...

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Metagenomic Insights into How Understory Vegetation Enhances Soil Nitrogen Availability via Microbial Nitrogen Transformation in Poplar Plantations

Agronomy
Long-term monoculture of poplar plantations for industrial material production has been widely reported to cause severe soil degradation, while the presence of understory vegetation might enhance soil nitrogen (N) transformation and supply.

Bacterial bioprinting on a flexible substrate for fabrication of a colorimetric temperature indicator by using a commercial inkjet printer

Journal of Medical Signals and Sensors, 2018
Background: Bacterial sensors are recommended for medical sciences, pharmaceutical industries, food industries, and environmental monitoring due to low cost, high sensitivity, and appropriate response time.

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.
