[Conjugative transfer of the large plasmid p19 in various Bacillus subtilis strains]. 2005

E U Polyéktova, and E A Fedorina, and A A Prozorov

Cryptic conjugative plasmid p19 from the environmental Bacillus subtilis strain 19 was labeled with the cat gene conferring resistance to chloramphenicol. The resulting plasmid, p19cat, was used to estimate the transfer frequency, to study the dynamics of plasmid transfer, and to detect some specific features of conjugation between various B. subtilis strains.

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
D003227 Conjugation, Genetic A parasexual process in BACTERIA; ALGAE; FUNGI; and ciliate EUKARYOTA for achieving exchange of chromosome material during fusion of two cells. In bacteria, this is a uni-directional transfer of genetic material; in protozoa it is a bi-directional exchange. In algae and fungi, it is a form of sexual reproduction, with the union of male and female gametes. Bacterial Conjugation,Conjugation, Bacterial,Genetic Conjugation
D001412 Bacillus subtilis A species of gram-positive bacteria that is a common soil and water saprophyte. Natto Bacteria,Bacillus subtilis (natto),Bacillus subtilis subsp. natto,Bacillus subtilis var. natto
D015500 Chloramphenicol O-Acetyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the acetylation of chloramphenicol to yield chloramphenicol 3-acetate. Since chloramphenicol 3-acetate does not bind to bacterial ribosomes and is not an inhibitor of peptidyltransferase, the enzyme is responsible for the naturally occurring chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. The enzyme, for which variants are known, is found in both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. EC 2.3.1.28. CAT Enzyme,Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase,Chloramphenicol Transacetylase,Acetyltransferase, Chloramphenicol,Chloramphenicol O Acetyltransferase,Enzyme, CAT,O-Acetyltransferase, Chloramphenicol,Transacetylase, Chloramphenicol
