چکیده

Transformation of untreated vegetative cells of Bacillus cereus 569 with plasmid pC194 (1.8 megadaltons) by high-voltage electroporation resulted in a maximum of 2 x 10(-5) transformants per viable cell. Transformation of a 130-megadalton plasmid occurred at a comparable frequency. The method was simple, rapid, and yielded transformant colonies in 14 to 24 h. Transformation was obtained with unpurified total plasmid DNA.

Comparison Survey of Receiving the Plasmid 253pil by Bacillus Cereusatcc1098 and Bacillus Cereus Atcc14579 by Using of Electroporation and Thermal Shock Method

According to the studies conducted, Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive aerobic bacterium which is able to produce spores. B. cereus is involved in formation of microflora. Currently, some strains of B. cereus are used as probiotics in animal and poultry feed. Genetic investigation is considered as an important objective of biotechnological and microbiological studies. This study compares the re...

Enhanced transformation efficiency of recalcitrant Bacillus cereus and Bacillus weihenstephanensis isolates upon in vitro methylation of plasmid DNA.

Digestion patterns of chromosomal DNAs of Bacillus cereus and Bacillus weihenstephanensis strains suggest that Sau3AI-type restriction modification systems are widely present among the isolates tested. In vitro methylation of plasmid DNA was used to enhance poor plasmid transfer upon electroporation to recalcitrant strains that carry Sau3AI restriction barriers.

Transformation of vegetative cells of Bacillus anthracis with plasmid DNA.

Methods have been developed for chemical transformation and electro-transformation (electroporation) of vegetative cells of Bacillus anthracis with supercoiled plasmid DNA. Chemical transformation was dependent on incubation in Tris/HCl with osmotic support and transformation with plasmid DNA was effected by treatment with polyethylene glycol 3350. Maximum transformation frequencies were 3.8 x ...

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against vegetative cells of Bacillus cereus.

Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against Bacillus cereus were produced. The MAbs (8D3 and 9B7) were selected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for their reactivity with B. cereus vegetative cells. They reacted with B. cereus vegetative cells while failing to recognize B. cereus spores. Immunoblotting revealed that MAb 8D3 recognized a 22-kDa antigen, while MAb 9B7 recognized two antigens wit...

Inactivation of Bacillus cereus vegetative cells by gastric acid and bile during in vitro gastrointestinal transit

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The foodborne pathogen Bacillus cereus can cause diarrhoeal food poisoning by production of enterotoxins in the small intestine. The prerequisite for diarrhoeal disease is thus survival during gastrointestinal passage. METHODS Vegetative cells of 3 different B. cereus strains were cultivated in a real composite food matrix, lasagne verde, and their survival during sub...
