Bacterial Evolution: Dynamic Genomes and the Power of Transformation
نویسنده
چکیده
Virulence and avirulence genes carried on large, unstable pathogenicity islands (PAI) strongly influence the course and fate of host-pathogen interactions. A recent study shows how one such PAI can be rapidly transferred between two closely related bacteria via transformation in vivo, and how this horizontal gene transfer affects the fitness of the recipient strain.

متن کاملEnhancement of Tropane Alkaloid Production among Several Clones and Explants Types of Hairy Root of Atropa belladonna L.
Agrobacterium rhizogenes (pRi), a causative agent of hairy root disease, effectively induces hairy root formation in a variety of plant species. In our study four bacterial strains AR15834, A4, 9435 and C318 and three explants types leaf, stems and roots, were examined. Hairy roots were induced from roots, stems and leaf explants. The highest transformation efficiency of 77% was achieved by usi...

متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF STRAINING BEFORE AND DURING AUSTENITE TO FERRITE TRANSFORMATION ON THE FINAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SI-MN TRIP STEELS
TRIP (TRansformation- lnduced- Plasticity) behavior is a powerful mechanism to improve mechanical properties. The basis of TRIP phenomena is the transformation of retained austenite with optimum characteristics (volume fraction, stability, size and morphology) to martensite during deformation at room temperature. Accordingly, the first requirement to obtain desired TRIP effects is to produce an...
