Shrinking the Bacterial Genome
نویسنده
چکیده
Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science, combining engineering and biological principles to design and construct new biological entities. Not only is synthetic biology useful for understanding life’s complex circuitries, this discipline has many practical applications such as modifying biological pathways to produce nanoparticles, proteins and other molecules for specific uses. As a rapidly evolving field, particularly due to recent advances in DNA sequencing and synthesis, synthetic biology holds great potential for transforming the future of biological research.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Clinically Isolated Antibiotic-Resistant Enterococcus faecium EntfacYE
Background and Objective: Enterococcal infections are considered the most common nosocomial infections. Nowadays, enterococci show high resistance to common antibiotics, especially vancomycin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium is one of the most common nosocomial infections, which is included in the World Health Organization priority pathogens list for research and development of new an...

Abstract Background and objectives: Genomic DNA extraction of bacterial cells is of processes performed normally in most biological laboratories therefore, various methods have been offered, manually and kit, which may be time consuming and costly. In this paper, genomic DNA extraction of Staphylococcus aureus was investigated using some laundry detergent brands available in Iran to achieve ...
متن کاملSnapshots of a shrinking partner: Genome reduction in Serratia symbiotica
Genome reduction is pervasive among maternally-inherited endosymbiotic organisms, from bacteriocyte- to gut-associated ones. This genome erosion is a step-wise process in which once free-living organisms evolve to become obligate associates, thereby losing non-essential or redundant genes/functions. Serratia symbiotica (Gammaproteobacteria), a secondary endosymbiont present in many aphids (Hemi...
متن کاملThe incredible shrinking organelle.
considering its central role in energy metabolism in almost all eukaryotes, the mitochondrion is an amazingly plastic organelle, both evolutionarily and functionally. the few genes that the mitochondrial genome (mito chondrial DNa; mtDNa) encodes are clearly bacterial in origin —emanating from the α-proteobacterial lineage—supporting the widely held view that the mitochondrion is the evolutiona...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamics Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer over a Permeable Shrinking Sheet with Joule dissipation: Analytical Approach
A laminar, two dimensional, steady boundary layer Newtonian conducting fluid flow passes over a permeable shrinking sheet in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is investigated. The governing equations have converted to ordinary nonlinear differential equations (ODE) by using appropriate similarity transformations. The main idea is to transform ODE with infinite boundary condition into oth...
