Contribution of mobile genetic elements to Desulfovibrio vulgaris genome plasticity.
The genome of Desulfovibrio vulgaris strain DePue, a sulfate-reducing Deltaproteobacterium isolated from heavy metal-impacted lake sediment, was completely sequenced and compared with the type strain D. vulgaris Hildenborough. The two genomes share a high degree of relatedness and synteny, but harbour distinct prophage and signatures of past phage encounters. In addition to a highly variable ph...
متن کاملContribution of mobile genetic elements on variation in gene content among bacteria
Bacterial genomes vary widely in gene content [1]. This variation can be the result of different evolutionary events including gene loss, gene duplication, and horizontal gene transfer [2]. Mobile genetic elements such as plasmids and viruses are major vehicles to transfer genes between different cells, and thus play a key role in the evolution and diversification of bacteria [3]. To understand...
متن کاملMobile Genetic Elements of Nosocomial Pathogens
A significant increase in the isolation frequency of ciprofloxacin-resistant Escherichia coli was observed in the haematology departments of two university hospitals in The Netherlands. Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis revealed that this increase was not caused by the emergence of unique ciprofloxacinresistant clones. Determination of the presence of class 1 integrons indicated t...
متن کاملIn this issue of Mobile Genetic Elements
Because transposons are able to self-excise and self-insert into the genome, they can also be used as a tool for altering gene expression, especially in the case of transposon mutagenesis. Here, Meredith et al. describe a robust transposon mutagenesis system that they have created allowing for the creation of a large range of expression genotypes in S. aureus. This collection has allowed for th...
متن کاملACLAME: A CLAssification of Mobile genetic Elements
The ACLAME database (http://aclame.ulb.ac.be) is a collection and classification of prokaryotic mobile genetic elements (MGEs) from various sources, comprising all known phage genomes, plasmids and transposons. In addition to providing information on the full genomes and genetic entities, it aims to build a comprehensive classification of the functional modules of MGEs at the protein, gene and ...
