Design and application of a new cryptic-plasmid-based shuttle vector for Magnetospirillum magneticum.

چکیده
A 3.7-kb cryptic plasmid designated pMGT was found in Magnetospirillum magneticum MGT-1. It was characterized and used for the development of an improved expression system in strain AMB-1 through the construction of a shuttle vector, pUMG. An electroporation method for magnetic bacteria that uses the cryptic plasmid was also developed.

Construction of a new Streptococcus pneumoniae-Escherichia coli shuttle vector based on the replicon of an indigenous pneumococcal cryptic plasmid.
The nucleotide sequence of a cryptic plasmid (pRMG1) isolated from a type 1 Streptococcus pneumoniae has been determined and two recombinant plasmids, pRMGE1 and pRMGE2, bearing the pRMG1 replicon have been constructed. pRMGE2 is a shuttle vector for Escherichia coli and S. pneumoniae. The important characteristics of this cloning vector are: a size of 5.5 kb including a 1.4 kb fragment of pRMG...
متن کاملApplication of bacterial shuttle vectors in designing new vaccines against infectious diseases: brief report
Background: Today, several vaccines have been developed to prevent infectious diseases. The older first-generation vaccines may have many problems. In this regard, genetic engineering plays an important role using tools such as shuttle vectors to develop recombinant DNA vaccines that usually include plasmid constructed so that can propagate in two different host species. The present study revie...
متن کاملConstruction of an integrative shuttle vector for Zymomonas mobilis.
An integrative shuttle vector, pZMOCP1, was constructed by ligating EcoRV digests of the plasmid cloning vector pBluescript and pZMP1, a cryptic plasmid of Zymomonas mobilis PROIMI A1. The 7.2-kb plasmid pZMOCP1 replicated in Escherichia coli and could also be transferred from this host by electroporation to Z. mobilis ATCC 29191. The transformants were selected by ampicillin resistance. The in...
متن کاملSiderophore production by the magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1.
Siderophore production by the magnetic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 is elicited by sufficient iron rather than by iron starvation. In order to clarify this unusual pattern, siderophore production was monitored in parallel to iron assimilation using the chrome azurol sulfonate assay and the ferrozine method respectively. Iron concentration lowered approximately five times less tha...
متن کاملIncompatibility of Lactobacillus Vectors with Replicons Derived from Small Cryptic Lactobacillus Plasmids and Segregational Instability of the Introduced Vectors.
Three new Lactobacillus vectors based on cryptic Lactobacillus plasmids were constructed. The shuttle vector pLP3537 consists of a 2.3-kb plasmid from Lactobacillus pentosus MD353, an erythromycin resistance gene from Staphylococcus aureus plasmid pE194, and pUC19 as a replicon for Escherichia coli. The vectors pLPE317 and pLPE323, which do not contain E. coli sequences, were generated by intro...
