Recovery of new integron classes from environmental DNA.
Integrons are genetic elements known for their role in the acquisition and expression of genes conferring antibiotic resistance. Such acquisition is mediated by an integron-encoded integrase, which captures genes that are part of gene cassettes. To test whether integrons occur in environments with no known history of antibiotic exposure, PCR primers were designed to conserved regions of the int...
متن کاملMethods to maximise recovery of environmental DNA from water samples
The environmental DNA (eDNA) method is a detection technique that is rapidly gaining credibility as a sensitive tool useful in the surveillance and monitoring of invasive and threatened species. Because eDNA analysis often deals with small quantities of short and degraded DNA fragments, methods that maximize eDNA recovery are required to increase detectability. In this study, we performed exper...
متن کاملNew classes of environmental tumor promoters: indole alkaloids and polyacetates.
Tumor promoters are known to induce ODC activity in mouse skin and that this induction can be inhibited by the application of 13-cis-retinoic acid. These two properties of tumor promoters were utilized for screening new tumor promoters in our environment. Two new classes of tumor promoters are presented: indole alkaloids (teleocidin and lyngbyatoxin A) and polyacetates (aplysiatoxin and debromo...
متن کاملNew classes of Extereme Shock Models
In industry or nature, there are systems subjected to a secuence of shocks ocurring randomly in time. these shocks are causing aging or failure of system. According to the type of shocks, shock models divided in two major groups, Extreme Shock Models and Cumulative Shock Models. In the extreme shock models just impact of last shock named fatal shock would be studied and in the cumul...
متن کاملIntegron integrase binds to bulged hairpin DNA.
Gene cassettes are short, monogenic DNA elements that translocate between integrons through site-specific excision and integration. These events require that an integron-coded tyrosine recombinase forms a reactive complex with two sites, at least one of which belongs to the attC class. An attC site can be divided into two pairs of short repeats flanking a palindromic central region. The nucleot...
