Glass bead transformation method for gram-positive bacteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple, inexpensive and reproducible transformation method was developed for Gram-positive bacteria. It was based on agitation of bacterial protoplasts with glass beads in the presence of DNA and polyethylene glycol. By using this method, introduction of pGK12 into protoplasts of several strains of Gram-positive bacteria was achieved.

Miniaturized bead-beating device to automate full DNA sample preparation processes for gram-positive bacteria.
We have developed a miniaturized bead-beating device to automate nucleic acids extraction from Gram-positive bacteria for molecular diagnostics. The microfluidic device was fabricated by sandwiching a monolithic flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane between two glass wafers (i.e., glass-PDMS-glass), which acted as an actuator for bead collision via its pneumatic vibration without additi...

Objective(s): In this work, pomegranate juice was used as a capping agent for self- assembly to form particles-like Au nanostructures in the presence of AuHCl4.3H2O as aurate source. Besides, to investigate the concentration effect of pomegranate juice as the green capping agent on the morphology and particle size of final products several experiments were...
متن کاملCell lysis and DNA extraction of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria from whole blood in a disposable microfluidic chip.
Sepsis caused by gram positive and gram negative bacteria is the leading cause of death in noncoronary ICUs and the tenth leading cause of death in the United States. We have developed a microfluidic sample preparation platform for rapid on-chip detection of infectious organisms for point-of-care diagnostics. The microfluidic chips are made of a robust thermoplastic and can be easily multiplexe...
متن کاملOptimal Bacterial DNA Isolation Method Using Bead-Beating Technique
Extraction of nucleic acids from Gram-positive bacteria is normally hampered by a thick and resistant cell wall. This paper presents procedures based on mechanical cell breakage to extract DNA from Staphylococcus aureus. The proposed system for DNA extraction involves bead-beating treatment and the GES method. These two steps allow a consistent extraction from the bacterium resistant to the GES...
