Generation of Small Colony Variants in Biofilms by Escherichia coli Harboring a Conjugative F Plasmid
A conjugative F plasmid induces mature biofilm formation by Escherichia coli by promoting F-pili-mediated cell-cell interactions and increasing the expression of biofilm-related genes. We herein demonstrated another function for the F plasmid in E. coli biofilms; it contributes to the emergence of genetic and phenotypic variations by spontaneous mutations. Small colony variants (SCVs) were more...
متن کاملSmall-colony variants of Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus remains a versatile and dangerous pathogen. Small-colony variants (SCVs) of S. aureus are a naturally occurring sub-population, first described nearly 100 years ago. These variants, of which there are different classes, grow slowly and have many atypical characteristics thought to be due to defective electron transport, and include minute colony forms. SCVs have been isola...
متن کاملExpression Cloning of Recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ Genes Encoding Cytoplasmic and Nuclear P-galactosidase Variants
Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide-producing variants of Escherichia coli.
Seventeen strains of H(2)S-producing variants of Escherichia coli were isolated from specimens submitted for microbiological study (ten from stool, five from urine, and two from postmortem material). Production of H(2)S was unstable in several strains; however, other than their production of H(2)S, all strains closely resembled typical E. coli in their biochemical reactions. In vitro susceptibi...
متن کاملEfficient Process Development of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (rh-GCSF) Production in Escherichia coli
Background: The protein hormone granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) stimulates the production of white blood cells and plays an important role in medical treatment of cancer patients. Methods: An efficient process was developed for heterologous expression of human GCSF in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The feeding rate was adjusted to achieve the maximum attainable specific growth rate under crit...
