Infection of Mycobacterium Smegmatis with D29 Phage Dna
DNA extracted from D29 mycobacteriophage produced plaques when plated on Mycobacterium smegmatis 607. The host bacterium did not require alternation such as conversion to protoplasts; cells susceptible to infection with intact phage were susceptible to DNA. The bases found in calf thymus DNA constituted the bases of D29 DNA, adenine being paired with thymine and guanine with cytosine. The dissy...
متن کاملSpecific electrochemical phage sensing for Bacillus cereus and Mycobacterium smegmatis.
The rapid and reliable detection of pathogenic microorganisms is an important issue for the safety and security of our society. Here we describe the use of a sensitive, inexpensive, amperometric, phage-based biosensor for the detection of extremely low concentrations of Bacillus cereus and Mycobacterium smegmatis as models for Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax) and for Mycobact...
متن کاملMICROBIAL TRANSFORMATION OF CHOLESTEROL BY MYCOBACTERIUM SMEGMATIS
Mycobacterium smegmatis PTCC 1307 (CIP 73.26) was used as a microbial agent to produce androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD) and androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, two useful precursors in the synthesis of steroid drugs. The side chain of cholesterol, as the substrate, was selectively cleaved in the presence of five enzyme inhibitors. An intermediate structure with intact side chain, cholest-4-ene-3-one, ...
متن کاملDNA topoisomerase I from Mycobacterium smegmatis.
DNA topoisomerase I has been purified from Mycobacterium smegmatis to near homogeneity using different column chromatographic techniques. The enzyme activity relaxes form I DNA into form IV DNA, requiring Mg2+, but not ATP or any other cofactors for its activity. Several properties of the enzyme were found to be similar to that of the prototype enzyme, Escherichia coli topoisomerase I.
متن کاملFurther Studies of Infectious Dna Extracted from Mycobacteriophages
Results of the previous investigation in which it was found that DNA extracted from D29 mycobacteriophage was infectious for Mycobacterium smegmatis 607, have been extended. DNA extracted from mycobacteriophage D4 and D32 produced plaques when plated on their respective hosts; D28 DNA, extracted in the same manner and tested under similar conditions, failed to show infectivity. Species barriers...
