Toxicity of organic acids for repair-deficient strains of Escherichia coli.
The wild-type strain and four DNA repair-deficient strains (uvrA6, uvrB5, recA56, and polA1) of Escherichia coli K-12 were treated with acetic acid, lactic acid, and p-aminobenzoic acid at pH 3.5 during their stationary phase of growth. All three acids were highly toxic to the polymerase-deficient strain. The greater sensitivity of the strain carrying the polA1 gene than its isogenic pol+ deriv...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of Escherichia coli strains isolated from human samples
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a normal inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, including humans. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that E. coli is composed of four main phylogenetic groups (A, B1, B2 and D). Group A and B1 are generally associated with commensals, whereas group B2 is associated with extra-intestinal pathotypes. Most enteropathogenic isolates, however, are assigne...
متن کاملPostirradiation responses of ultraviolet irradiated Escherichia coli.
The phenomena of photoreactivation (Jagger, 1958) and dark reactivation (Ellison, Erlanger, and Allen, 1955; Heinmets et al., 1954; Roberts and Aldous, 1949), while raising questions concerning the mechanism of action of ultraviolet irradiation (Zelle and Hollaender, 1955; Kimball, 1957), have also been useful tools for the study of radiation effects on living systems. Many factors which alter ...
متن کاملAnimal Strains of Escherichia coli
One mechanism of plasmid-mediated resistance to gentamicin in Escherichia coli strains isolated from animals is due to the synthesis of the aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase type IV. A second mechanism of plasmid-mediated resistance to gentamicin was detected in animal strains of E. coli in France and is due to the production of the aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase type II. The molecular...
متن کاملEscherichia coli host strains.
To successfully perform molecular genetic techniques it is essential to have a full understanding of the properties of the various Escherichia coli host strains commonly used for the propagation and manipulation of recombinant DNA. E. coli is an enteric rod-shaped Gram-negative bacterium with a circular genome of 4.6 Mb (1). It was originally chosen as a model system because of its ability to g...
