The use of pAL5000 Replicon Vectors to Transform Rhodococcus and Gordonia Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
pAL5000 based vectors, conventionally used to transform Mycobacterium species were used in this study to transform Rhodococcus and Gordonia species. Adequate transformation efficiencies were obtained ranging between 4.5x10 3 – 2.8x10 6 . Additionally, a pAL5000 based vector with suicide function was generated. This vector was transformed into Rhodococcus, Mycobacterium and Gordonia species and was maintained as a stable construct.

Dear editor,I read with interest article that published entitled *Isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing Rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples {IJMCM/5(1) (2015) 463-468}* [1]. Some of the genus such as Nocardia, Gordonia, Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus are in actinomycete family and they are Gram-positive and partially acid-fast. Rhodococcus species usually stain Gra...

The complete nucleotide sequence of the 5936 bp cryptic plasmid pFAJ2600 from Rhodococcus erythropolis NI86/21 was determined. Based on the characteristics of its putative replication genes, repA and repB, pFAJ2600 was assigned to the family of pAL5000-related small replicons identified in Mycobacterium (pAL5000), Corynebacterium (pXZ10142), Brevibacterium (pRBL1), Bifidobacterium (pMB1) and Ne...
متن کاملBacteriophages of wastewater foaming-associated filamentous Gordonia reduce host levels in raw activated sludge
Filamentous bacteria are a normal and necessary component of the activated sludge wastewater treatment process, but the overgrowth of filamentous bacteria results in foaming and bulking associated disruptions. Bacteriophages, or phages, were investigated for their potential to reduce the titer of foaming bacteria in a mixed-microbial activated sludge matrix. Foaming-associated filamentous bacte...
متن کاملPrevention of Gordonia and Nocardia stabilized foam formation by using bacteriophage GTE7.
Most activated sludge treatment plants suffer from the presence of foams on the surfaces of their aeration reactors. These are often stabilized by hydrophobic mycolic acid-synthesizing actinobacterial species. A polyvalent Siphoviridae phage, GTE7, which lysed several Gordonia and Nocardia species, is described here. Its genome has a modular structure similar to that described for Rhodococcus p...
