Bacteria can be considered as biological nanofactories that manufacture a cornucopia of bioproducts most notably recombinant proteins. As such, they must perfectly match with appropriate plasmid vectors to ensure successful overexpression of target genes. Among many parameters that correlate positively with protein productivity plasmid copy number plays pivotal role. Therefore, development of n...

BACKGROUND Whilst undergoing differentiation, Streptomyces produce a large quantity of hydrolytic enzymes and secondary metabolites, and it is this very ability that has focussed increasing interest on the use of these bacteria as hosts for the production of various heterologous proteins. However, within this genus, the exploration and understanding of the metabolic burden associated with such ...

DNA marker is commonly used to determine the size of fragments by electrophoresis in routine molecular biology laboratories. In this study, we report a new procedure prepare recombinant plasmids pSY-60 which was partially digested one restriction enzyme for generating markers 7 from 60 420 bp. The included synthesis bp fragment with EcoRI sites at both ends using PCR extension, self-ligation an...

Using the DNA recombination technique, a new bacterial strain Escherichia coli DAC-22 was derived, whose cells are able to carry out heterologous expression of Bacillus thuringiensis diadenylate cyclase – enzyme catalyzing reaction adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) transformation into cyclic 3′,5′-diadenylate (cyclo-di-AMP). To derive strain, E. “Rosetta (DE3) pLysS” were originally used as recip...

The growing bacterial resistance to antibiotics calls for the elaboration of new pathogens elimination strategies. Some of these methods are based on the conjugative transfer of recombinant plasmids able to eliminate pathogenic recipients by plasmid run-away replication or by killing activity of plasmid-encoded bacteriocins. Using live bacteria as donors of plasmid vectors carrying killing dete...

A recombinant plasmid, designated pUC1002, was constructed by ligation of a HindIII restriction endonuclease fragment of Escherichia coli chromosomal DNA to vector plasmid pMB9. Strains carrying this plasmid were selected by transformation of an E. coli strain bearing the xyl-7 mutation to a xylose-positive (Xyl+) phenotype. Strains containing pUC1002 produced coordinately elevated levels of D-...
