ABSTRACTFor small-copy-number pUC-type plasmids, theinc1andinc2mutations, which deregulate replication, were previously found to increase the plasmid copy number 6- to 7-fold. Because plasmids can exert a growth burden, it was not clear if further amplification of copy number would occur due toincmutations when the starting point for plasmid copy number was orders of magnitude higher. To investigate further the effects of theincmutations and the possible limits of plasmid synthesis, the parent plasmid pNTC8485 was used as a starting point. It lacks an antibiotic resistance gene and has a copy

In this study, the plasmid content and bacteriocin production of natural isolates of lactococci were investigated. Five bacteriocin producing lactococcal strains (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGMN1-2, BGMN1-3, BGMN1-5, BGMN1-6, and BGMN2-7) were isolated as nonstarter microflora of semi-hard homemade cheese and characterized. All isolates contained a number of plasmids. It was shown that lcnB structural genes for bacteriocin lactococcin B were located on large plasmids in all isolates.

ABSTRACTDuring the past 2 decades,Bacillus megateriumhas been systematically developed for the gram-per-liter scale production of recombinant proteins. The plasmid-based expression systems employed use a xylose-controlled promoter. Protein production analyses at the single-cell level using green fluorescent protein as a model product revealed cell culture heterogeneity characterized by a significant proportion of less productive bacteria. Due to the enormous size ofB. megaterium, such bistable behavior seen in subpopulations was readily analyzed by time lapse microscopy and flow cytometry. Cel

In our first attempt, insertional mutagenesis ofagaT by using a cassette carrying a kanamycin resistance gene led to bacterial inability to utilize melibiose (α-galactoside) and galactose as sole carbohydrate sources due to a polar effect of the insertional inactivation. A Gal+ phenotype was assumed to be essential for growth on melibiose.

Recombinant production of pharmaceutical proteins like antigen binding fragments (Fabs) in the commonly-used production host Escherichia coli presents several challenges.

Another strategy to stabilize production processes is lactose induction, leading to increased soluble product formation and cell fitness, as shown

The results of plasmid analysis and Southern blot hybridization revealed that the three bla KPC genes were located on transferable plasmids exhibiting three different patterns.

Abstract:
It is well established that plasmids are involved in the expression of lipopolysaccharide in certain species of Shigella. In Shigella sonnei, both the biosynthesis of oligosaccharide side chains (O antigen), and cell invasiveness are controlled exclusively by a 120 megadalton (MDa) plasmid. In Shigella dysenteriae 1, a 10 kilobase (kb) plasmid is required for O-antigen production. Shigella dysenteriae 1 strains devoid of this plasmid lose the ability to synthesize O antigen. Interestingly, this 10-kb plasmid is not stably maintained in Escherichia coli K-12 strains, where it is lost spontaneou

Bacteria produce a wide arsenal of toxic compounds in order to kill competing species. Bacteriocins, protein-based toxins produced by nearly all bacteria, have generally been considered a ubiquitous anti-competitor strategy, used to kill competing bacterial strains. Some of these bacteriocins are encoded on plasmids, which also code for closely linked immunity compounds (thereby rendering toxin producing cells immune to their own toxin). However, the production of bacteriocins can also be interpreted as a means to promote plasmid stability by preferentially selecting for cells carrying the pla
