TraA is required for megaplasmid conjugation in Rhodococcus erythropolis AN12.
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) revealed three previously uncharacterized megaplasmids in the genome of Rhodococcus erythropolis AN12. These megaplasmids, pREA400, pREA250, and pREA100, are approximately 400, 250, and 100kb, respectively, based on their migration in pulsed-field gels. Genetic screening of an AN12 transposon insertion library showed that two megaplasmids, pREA400, and pR...
متن کاملCharacterization of the mobilization determinants of pAN12, a small replicon from Rhodococcus erythropolis AN12.
Bacteria belonging to the Gram-positive actinomycete species, Rhodococcus erythropolis, are diverse not only in terms of metabolic potentials but the plasmids they encode. It was shown previously that the R. erythropolis AN12 genome harbors a 6.3kb cryptic plasmid called pAN12, which is a member of the pIJ101 family of plasmids. Here we show that pAN12 is conjugatively mobilizable into other rh...
متن کاملRhodococcus erythropolis Encephalitis in Patient Receiving Rituximab
To the Editor: Rhodococcus spp. infections occur predominantly in immunocompromised patients, and most infections are caused by Rhodococcus equi (1). Seven cases of R. erythropolis infections in humans have been described (2–8). None of these cases included a central nervous system infection (Table). We report a case of R. erythropolis meningoencephalitis in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis ...
متن کاملRhodococcus erythropolis DCL14 contains a novel degradation pathway for limonene.
Strain DCL14, which is able to grow on limonene as a sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated from a freshwater sediment sample. This organism was identified as a strain of Rhodococcus erythropolis by chemotaxonomic and genetic studies. R. erythropolis DCL14 also assimilated the terpenes limonene-1,2-epoxide, limonene-1,2-diol, carveol, carvone, and (-)-menthol, while perillyl alcohol was...
متن کاملTransposition of the IS21-related element IS1415 in Rhodococcus erythropolis.
Three copies of the IS21-related transposable element IS1415 were identified in Rhodococcus erythropolis NI86/21. Adjacent to one of the IS1415 copies, a 47-bp sequence nearly identical to the conserved 5' end of integrons was found. Accurate transposition of IS1415 carrying a chloramphenicol resistance gene (Tn5561) was demonstrated following delivery from a suicide vector to R. erythropolis SQ1.
