Transfer of plasmid RP1 into chemolithotrophic Thiobacillus neapolitanus.
RP1, a broad-host-range incompatibility group P1 plasmid specifying multiple drug resistances, has been transferred into the chemolithotrophic bacterium Thiobacillus neapolitanus. The ability of T. neapolitanus to receive, express, and transmit RP1-encoded antibiotic resistances was examined. The data show that this obligate chemolithotroph can accept, replicate, and express heterologous plasmi...
متن کاملGenetic transformation of obligately chemolithotrophic thiobacilli.
Genetic transformation of Thiobacaillus thioparus auxotrophs to prototrophy was obtained at frequencies of up to 10(-2) when proliferating cell populations were exposed to chromosomal DNA from a nutritionally independent strain of the same bacterium. The rate at which transformation occurred depended on recipient growth rate and could be drastically reduced by depriving otherwise competent cell...
متن کاملAn Iron-Containing Superoxide Dismutase from the chemolithotrophic Thiobacillus denitrificans ˇ+ RT ˇ; Strain
Superoxide dismutase has been purified to homogeneity from aerobically grown Thiobacillus denitrijicarzs strain “RT”. It has a molecular weight of 43,000, is composed of two identical subunits which are not covalently bound, and contains 1.35 atom of iron per molecule. Absorption spectra and amino acid analysis are similar to those of other Fe-superoxide dismutases from bacteria. Aerobically an...
متن کاملThe amino acid sequence of the cytochrome c-554(547) from the chemolithotrophic bacterium Thiobacillus neapolitanus.
An amino acid sequence is proposed for the cytochrome c-554(547) from the bacterium Thiobacillus neapolitanus N.C.I.B. 8539). It consists of a polypeptide chain of 91 residues, with a pair of haem-attachment cysteine residues at positions 15 and 18. There is similarity in sequence with each of the halves of the sequence of the dihaem cytochromes c4 and with a cytochrome c-554(548) from a haloph...
متن کاملThe genome sequence of the obligately chemolithoautotrophic, facultatively anaerobic bacterium Thiobacillus denitrificans.
The complete genome sequence of Thiobacillus denitrificans ATCC 25259 is the first to become available for an obligately chemolithoautotrophic, sulfur-compound-oxidizing, beta-proteobacterium. Analysis of the 2,909,809-bp genome will facilitate our molecular and biochemical understanding of the unusual metabolic repertoire of this bacterium, including its ability to couple denitrification to su...
