A new type of haem-deficient mutant was isolated in Escherichia coli K12 by neomycin selection. The mutant, designated SASX38, accumulated uroporphyrin, coproporphyrin and protoporphyrin. Since it possessed normal ferrochelatase activity, it was assumed to be deficient in protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity. The gene affected in the mutant was designated hemG. Mapping of the hemG gene by phage P1-mediated transduction showed that it was located very close to the chlB gene (frequency of cotransduction 78.7%), between the metE and rha markers. This location is distinct from the other known hem loci in E. coli K12.

Metals have been used throughout history to manage disease. With the rising incidence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, metal-based antimicrobials (MBAs) have re-emerged as an alternative to combat infections. Gallium nitrate has shown promising efficacy against several pathogens.

Introduction: Considering that plant biostimulants can be sprayed multiple times on leafy crops even just before harvest, it is relevant to know the impact of biostimulant applications on population dynamics of lettuce leaves to ensure food safety. Two trials were carried out to investigate whether the applications of a seaweed extract and a vegetal-derived protein hydrolysate (PH) could affect the growth in shake flasks (Exp. 1) and plant growth and survival of artificially inoculated on the leaf surface of lettuce grown in a floating system (Exp.

Carbapenemase producing (CPEs) represent a group of multidrug resistant pathogens for which few, if any, therapeutics options remain available. CPEs generally harbor plasmids that encode resistance to last resort carbapenems and many other antibiotics. We previously performed a high throughput screen to identify compounds that can disrupt the maintenance and replication of resistance conferring plasmids through use of a synthetic screening plasmid introduced into K-12 cells.

Article Synopsis
- Mapping where genes start transcribing and measuring their activity can be tough, even in well-studied organisms.
- This study introduces Cappable-seq RNA sequencing data for the K-12 MG1655 strain after exposure to three different antibiotics.
- The results could help identify more transcription start sites, potentially giving better insights into how genes are expressed in this model organism.
