Plasmids containing the same origin of replication are useful tools to perform biotechnological studies in Pseudomonas putida U and in E. coli DH10B
Journal Title: Canadian Journal of Biotechnology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Plasmids containing the same origin of replication (pBBR1MCS-2 KmR and pBBR1MCS-3 TcR) have been used to express simultaneous and independently different proteins in P. putida U and in E. coli. Thus, when P. putida was transformed with different genetic constructions made in the same plasmid (pBBR1MCS-3 TcR), or with plasmids containing the same replication origin but with different antibiotic resistant genes (KmR and TcR), they co-existed inside the same microbe. Furthermore, when E. coli DH10B was transformed with the plasmids recovered from the recombinant P. putida U, we noticed that all the bacteria isolated from single colonies are resistant to Km and Tc, suggesting that these plasmids were also present in E. coli. This observation facilitates the genetic manipulation of these strains (i.e. avoiding the use of different plasmids in double or multiple complementation experiments), and could be an interesting tool to approach many metabolic and biotechnological studies.

Influence of coating developed from oligomer isolated from lac resin on post-harvest quality and shelf life of peaches (Prunuspersica L.)
Large quantities of fresh fruits are produced that never reach the consumers due to heavy post-harvest losses, lack of storage, transportation care and less acceptable quality. These losses are not only concerned in term...

Infusion of herbal plant extracts for insomnia and anxiety causes a dose-dependent increase of NO and has a protective effect on the renal cellular stress caused by hypoxia and reoxygenation
Background: Herbal plant extracts are a more common alternative to conventional medicine to treat sleep disorders and intermittent hypoxia. Notably, obstructive sleep apnea causes injuries similar to those observed in mo...
