Copy numbers of coexisting plasmids in Escherichia coli K-12.
A strain of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying eight compatible and distinguishable plasmids was constructed. The amounts of plasmid DNA (measured as supercoiled molecules) per chromosome in this strain was about equal to the sum of the plasmid DNAs, extracted under controlled conditions, from strains each carrying one of the eight plasmids. Analysis of these DNA preparations showed that each plasm...
متن کاملCharacteristics of conjugative R-plasmids from pathogenic avian Escherichia coli.
Three of four virulent avian Escherichia coli isolates transferred a single large molecular-weight R-plasmid to two recipient E. coli strains. Antibiotic resistances transferred included streptomycin (two isolates) and streptomycin-tetracycline-sulfa (one isolate). Production of colicin and siderophores, complement resistance, and embryo lethality present in the virulent isolates were not trans...
متن کاملTranslocation of the tetracycline resistance determinant from R100-1 to the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome.
Pairs of normally incompatible derivatives of R100-1 (one ChlS TetR, the other ChilR TetS) were forced to coexist in a recA host by selection for ChlR TetR cells. After many generations stable derivatives were isolated. The analysis of none independent stabilization experiments showed that in each case TetR was translocated from the plasmid to the chromosome of the host. No evidence for the joi...
متن کاملbrain-derived neurotrophic factor is produced in escherichia coli using transforming plasmids
background and purpose: brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) is present in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex in high concentrations and has an important role in development, maintenance and regeneration of the nervous system. the aim of this study was to produce active bdnf in e.coli using transforming plasmid. methods: to construct an expression plasmid of bdnf, a gene coding for it was ...
متن کاملInhibition of cell division in Escherichia coli K-12 by the R-factor R1 and copy mutants of R1.
The effect of the copy number of plasmid R1drd-19 on cell division of Escherichia coli K-12 was studied in populations growing as steady-state cultures at different growth rates, the growth rate being varied by use of different carbon sources. The plasmid copy number was also varied by using copy mutants of the R-factor. The mean cell size was larger in populations carrying an R-factor than in ...
