We constructed a 7.9-kilobase-pair recombinant shuttle plasmid, designated pHR106, by combining desired segments of three plasmids: an Escherichia coli plasmid (pSL100) which provides a multiple cloning site, a Clostridium perfringens plasmid (pJU122) which provides a clostridial origin of replication, and an E. coli plasmid (pJIR62) which provides an E. coli origin of replication, an ampicillin resistance gene, and a chloramphenicol resistance gene of clostridial origin. The shuttle plasmid transformed E. coli HB101 with a frequency of 1 transformant per 10(4) viable cells and C. perfringens L-phase strain L-13 with a frequency of approximately 1 transformant per 10(6) viable cells. Because of the set of unique cloning sites and the chloramphenicol resistance marker, this shuttle plasmid should be particularly useful for studies of gene regulation and for enzyme production with C. perfringens.

In this work, we developed a plasmid-based CRISPR-Cas9 strategy for editing Lactococcus cremoris, which allows easy generation of plasmid-free strains with the desired modification. We constructed versatile shuttle vectors based on the theta-type pAMβ1 promiscuous replicon and p15A ori, expressing both the Cas9 nuclease gene (under pH-regulated promoters derived from P170) and a single-guide RNA for specific targeting (under a strong constitutive promoter). The vectors designed for plasmid targeting were very effective for low- and high-copy-number plasmid curing in L.

CRISPR are adaptive immunity systems that protect bacteria and archaea from viruses and other mobile genetic elements (MGE) via an RNA-guided interference mechanism. However, in the course of the host-parasite co-evolution, CRISPR systems have been recruited by MGE themselves for counter-defense or other functions. Some bacteriophages encode fully functional CRISPR systems that target host defense systems, and many others recruited individual components of CRISPR systems, such as single repeat units that inhibit host CRISPR systems and CRISPR mini-arrays that target related viruses contributing to inter-virus competition.

, prevalent in the oral cavity, is significantly linked to overall human health. Our molecular comprehension of its role in oral biofilm formation and its interactions with the host under various pathological circumstances has seen considerable advancements in recent years, primarily due to the development of various genetic tools for DNA manipulation in this bacterium. Of these, counterselection-based unmarked in-frame mutation methods have proved notably effective.

(MPS), caused by (Mhp), is a chronic, airborne respiratory disease that poses a significant threat to the global swine industry. The P97 and P46 proteins are major antigens of Mhp, with the R1 region of P97 possessing full adhesive capability. Studies have shown that the main antigenic regions of Mhp P42 and P65 proteins exhibit strong immunogenicity.

is a prevalent bacterial taxon in the human gut that comprises over 10 (sub)species. Previous studies suggest that these species use evolutionarily distinct strategies for symbiosis with their hosts. However, the underlying species-specific mechanisms remain unclear due to the lack of efficient gene knockout systems applicable across different species.
