High-frequency transformation of Brevibacterium lactofermentum protoplasts by plasmid DNA.
An efficient polyethylene glycol-assisted method for transformation of Brevibacterium lactofermentum protoplasts that uses plasmid vectors has been developed. Two small plasmids, pUL330 (5.2 kilobases) and pUL340 (5.8 kilobases), both containing the kanamycin resistance gene from transposon Tn5 and the replication origin of the natural plasmid pBL1 of B. lactofermentum, were selected as vectors...
متن کاملStructure and organization of the rrnD operon of 'Brevibacterium lactofermentum': analysis of the 16S rRNA gene.
Five rRNA operons (rrn) were found by hybridization in the genome of 'Brevibacterium lactofermentum' ATCC 13869 and Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032. 'B. lactofermentum' DSM 20412 differed from the other corynebacteria tested in showing six hybridizing BamHI bands. Two of the rrn operons (rrnD and rrnE) were located in a single cosmid. Sequencing of the rrnD operon showed that it contains ...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of genes responsible for m-fluoro-D,L-phenylalanine resistance in Brevibacterium lactofermentum.
Two kinds of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-hepturosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase genes were cloned from an L-Phe-producing mutant of Brevibacterium lactofermentum, AJ11957, which was resistant to m-fluoro-D,L-phenylalanine (mFP) and p-fluoro-D,L-phenylalanine (pFP) and which had DAHP synthase free from feedback inhibition. Both genes were cloned using a vector plasmid, pAJ1844, and the resulting recomb...
متن کاملConjugative DNA Transfer Is Enhanced by Plasmid R1 Partitioning Proteins
Bacterial conjugation is a form of type IV secretion used to transport protein and DNA directly to recipient bacteria. The process is cell contact-dependent, yet the mechanisms enabling extracellular events to trigger plasmid transfer to begin inside the cell remain obscure. In this study of plasmid R1 we investigated the role of plasmid proteins in the initiation of gene transfer. We find that...
متن کاملMultiple sigma factor genes in Brevibacterium lactofermentum: characterization of sigA and sigB.
Four rpoD hybridizing signals have been identified in the chromosome of Brevibacterium lactofermentum. Two rpoD-like genes, sigA and sigB, have been cloned and sequenced, and they encode principal sigma factors of the RNA polymerase. The deduced amino acid sequences of SigA and SigB showed very high similarities to those of Mycobacterium smegmatis MysA and MysB proteins, respectively, and also ...
