Structure of cloned ribosomal DNA cistrons from Bacillus thuringiensis.

چکیده
A library of B. thuringiensis DNA has been prepared by using the plasmid pBR322 as a cloning vehicle and E. coli as a host cell. By screening this collection with specific probes, 17 clones were identified whose hybrid plasmids contain rRNA genes of B. thuringiensis. Several of these plasmids have been mapped with restriction endonucleases and by DNA-RNA hybridization. By using maps of overlapping fragments, we have been able to establish an overall map of the ribosomal gene cluster.

Identification of quorum-quenching N-acyl homoserine lactonases from Bacillus species.
A range of gram-negative bacterial species use N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules as quorum-sensing signals to regulate different biological functions, including production of virulence factors. AHL is also known as an autoinducer. An autoinducer inactivation gene, aiiA, coding for an AHL lactonase, was cloned from a bacterial isolate, Bacillus sp. strain 240B1. Here we report identifica...

متن کاملCharacterization and comparative sequence analysis of replication origins from three large Bacillus thuringiensis plasmids.
The replication origins of three large Bacillus thuringiensis plasmids, derived from B. thuringiensis HD263 subsp. kurstaki, have been cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. The replication origins, designated ori 43, ori 44, and ori 60, were isolated from plasmids of 43, 44, and 60 MDa, respectively. Each cloned replication origin exhibits incompatibility with the resident B. thuringiensis ...
متن کاملCloning and nucleotide sequence analysis of gyrB of Bacillus cereus, B. thuringiensis, B. mycoides, and B. anthracis and their application to the detection of B. cereus in rice.
As 16S rRNA sequence analysis has proven inadequate for the differentiation of Bacillus cereus from closely related species, we employed the gyrase B gene (gyrB) as a molecular diagnostic marker. The gyrB genes of B. cereus JCM 2152(T), Bacillus thuringiensis IAM 12077(T), Bacillus mycoides ATCC 6462(T), and Bacillus anthracis Pasteur #2H were cloned and sequenced. Oligonucleotide PCR primer se...
متن کاملCloning and expression in Escherichia coli of Proteus vulgaris genes for 16S ribosomal RNA.
In contrast to the established systems of plasmid-coded homologous ribosomal DNA (rDNA) cistrons in Escherichia coli little is known about the fate of heterologous rRNA. In order to study expression of foreign rDNA, rRNA cistrons from Proteus vulgaris were cloned in phage vector Charon 35, subcloned in pBR322 and transformed in E. coli. The inserts of two clones (pPM2 and pPM14) were characteri...
