A 6.56-kb V. cholerae eltor DNA fragment encoding hemolysin synthesis was cloned in pUC18. The resultant recombinant plasmid pES4H (9.25 kb) was mapped by restriction analysis and shown to express in different E. coli strains as well as in nonhemolytic V. cholerae strains. Application of the cloned fragment as a molecular probe revealed homologous sequences in all V. cholerae strains tested independently on their biotypes, hemolytic activity and presence of vct-genes in their genomes while none of other Vibrio species and related microorganisms contained such sequences. A recombinant E. coli strain, a V. cholerae eltor hemolysin producer, was constructed. The simultaneous expression of hemolytic and toxinogenic properties by the same V. cholerae strains is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004269 DNA, Bacterial Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria. Bacterial DNA
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
