Plasmid ColIb (61.5 Mdal) was digested with restriction enzymes EcoRI and HindIII. The DNA digestion products were separated by electrophoresis on 1.2% agarose gels. There were identified 22 fragments of ColIb DNA generated by the endonuclease EcoRI and 21 fragments produced by HindIII. Molecular weights of the fragments were estimated. The total molecular weight of the fragments generated by EcoRI was 61.42 Mdal and for HindIII fragments 62.79 Mdal.

Characterisation of IncI1 plasmids associated with change of phage type in isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

Background: Acquisition of IncI1 plasmids by members of the Enterobacteriaceae sometimes leads to transfer of antimicrobial resistance and colicinogeny as well as change of phage type in Salmonella Typhimurium. Isolates of S. Typhimurium from a 2015 outbreak of food poisoning were found to contain an IncI1 plasmid implicated in change of phage type from PT135a to U307 not previously reported.

Colicins are toxins produced and released by to kill competitors in the gut. While group A colicins employ a division of labor strategy to liberate the toxin into the environment via colicin-specific lysis, group B colicin systems lack cognate lysis genes. In serovar Typhimurium ( Tm), the group B colicin Ib (ColIb) is released by temperate phage-mediated bacteriolysis.

Article Synopsis
- pWB980 is a high-stability expression vector for Bacillus, but its low transformation rate limits its use; constructing an E. coli-B. subtilis shuttle plasmid can enhance transformation efficiency.
- Various shuttle plasmids were created to determine the best insertion site for the E. coli replication origin, revealing that different sites affect plasmid properties and stability.
- The optimal insertion site led to the development of two highly effective shuttle plasmids (pUC980-1 and pUC980-2) with high copy numbers and stability, demonstrating promising results in expressing beneficial genes in Bacillus.
The effects of histone-like protein H-NS on transcription of promoters of the Quorum Sensing regulated operons from marine luminescent mesophilic bacterium Aliivibrio fischeri and psychrophilic Aliivibrio logei, as well as from pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are studied. In the present work, the plasmids carrying DNA fragments with the promoters Pr1f (upstream of the luxICDABEG operon from A. fischeri), Pr1l (upstream of the luxCDABEG operon from A.

Characterization of genetic circuits and biosynthetic pathways in different hosts always requires promoter substitution and redesigning. Here, a strong, broad-spectrum promoter, P, for Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was constructed, and it was incorporated into the minimal E. coli-B.
