Plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus.
Two of eighteen strains of Bacillus subtilis examined contained covalently closed circular duplex deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of homogeneous size and buoyant density. Strain ATCC 15841 contained about 16 copies per chromosome of plasmid pPL1, a circular DNA element having a molecular weight of about 4.7 times 10(6) and a buoyant density of 1.700. Strain ATCC 7003 contained about one to two copi...
متن کاملToxin production by Bacillus pumilus.
Two strains of Bacillus pumilus (M11 and M38) and one strain each of Bacillus cereus (M27), Bacillus subtilis (M67), and Enterobacter agglomerans (M14) were identified from the air of Lancashire cotton mills. These strains were tested for cytopathic effects in Vero cells; B pumilus and B cereus strains were also examined for haemolytic activity, lecithinase production, and proteolytic action on...
متن کاملPlasmid in Bacillus pumilus and the enhanced sporulation of plasmid-negative variants.
Approximately 3% of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Bacillus pumilus NRS576 can be isolated as covalently closed, circular duplex molecules of homogeneous size. The mol wt of the 576 plasmid is approximately 30 million. NRS576 (plasmid(+)) is oligosporogenic; less than 1% of the cells form spores during incubation in liquid AK sporulation medium. Variants that form spores at a high frequency...
متن کاملThe expression of a plasmid-specified exported protein causes structural plasmid instability in Bacillus subtilis.
The rolling-circle plasmid pGP1 was used to study the effects of the expression of a plasmid-specified exported protein on structural plasmid stability in Bacillus subtilis. pGP1 contains a fusion between the Bacillus licheniformis penP gene, encoding a C-terminally truncated penicillinase, and the Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase (lacZ) gene. Two processes affected the accumulation of pGP1 ...
متن کاملSporulation-converting bacteriophages for Bacillus pumilus.
Thirty-three sporulation-converting bacteriophages for Bacillus pumilus NRS576 were assigned to two apparently unrelated groups on the basis of morphology and antiserum neutralization. Bacterial sporulation mutants responded similarly (conversion or nonconversion) to representatives of both phage groups. Evidence is presented indicating that PMB1 and related phages specify a restriction and/or ...
