The effect of high hydrostatic pressure on the activities of type II restriction enzymes HindIII and XbaI in digesting plasmid pSPORT1 was studied. The endonuclease activity of HindIII and XbaI at 37 degrees were gradually inhibited by increasing pressure and completely inhibited at 200 and 180 MPa, respectively. No obvious irreversible effect was observed for HindIII after suffering high pressure, while a considerable irreversible inactivation was observed for XbaI. The standard molar volume changes for HindIII and XbaI estimated from the inhibition of endonuclease activity at different pressures were 213 and 103 ml/mol, respectively. It was also concluded that pressurization did not change the substrate sequence specificity of both HindIII and XbaI.

A significant cause of shigellosis in Bangladesh and other developing countries is Shigella flexneri serotype 6. This serotype has been subtyped, on the basis of the absence or presence of a group-specific antigen, E1037, into S. flexneri 6a and 6b, respectively.

Background: Anthrax is a particularly dangerous infectious disease that affects humans and livestock. Efficacious vaccines that can rapidly induce a long-term immune response are required to prevent anthrax infection in humans. Domains 4 and 1 of the protective antigen (PA) and lethal factor (LF), respectively, have very high antigenic properties.

We constructed a new Thermus thermophilus cloning vector which enables the colour selection of cloned DNA inserts in the T. thermophilus HB27 host strain (β-gal) on growth plates containing 3,4-cyclohexenoesculetin β-D-galactopyranoside (S-gal) in the medium. This vector harbors a modified β-galactosidase gene (TTP0042 of T.

Objectives: This study aimed at characterizing 23 Escherichia coli isolates from various sources and their respective bla SHV-12 -carrying plasmids and sequencing one of these plasmids completely.
Methods: Isolates were typed by XbaI-PFGE, MLST and PCR-based phylotyping. Transformed bla SHV-12 -carrying plasmids were examined by replicon typing, S1-nuclease, conjugation, EcoRI-HindIII-BamHI digests and plasmid MLST.
