polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) are chlorinated biphenyl rings that due to their properties such as heat resistance and stability were widely used in different industries from 1920s to 1980s. due to their characteristics such as stability, resistance to decomposition and harmful effects on human health, their production was banned in 1980s., worldwide contamination of water and soil with pcbs ...

It is an increased interest in the therapeutic potential of Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana) for treatment of multiple sclerosis and HIV neuropathy. Because of limitation in cultivation of this plant, an efficient hairy root induction system for Cannabis sativa L. was developed in the present study. Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation performed by two different co-cultivation mediums...

Natural transformation is assumed to be the most likely mechanism by which DNA from transgenic plants could be horizontally transferred to bacteria. In order to determine the occurrence of naturally transformable bacteria amongst bulk and rhizosphere soil bacteria, different transformation strategies were employed using either plasmid DNA (IncQ plasmids pSM1890 and pSM1885, conferring GFP, Sm(r...

A rapid technique for purifying plasmids from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is described that yields high-quality DNA suitable for bacterial transformation, yeast transformation, and direct DNA sequencing. The method requires only small culture volumes and proprietary bacterial plasmid miniprep kits that allow one to simultaneously prepare a large number of samples in a very short period of ti...

Of the three dominant marine microalgal groups, dinoflagellates and diatoms can undergo genetic transformation; however, no transformation method has been established for haptophytes to date. Here, we report the first stable genetic transformation of a coccolithophore, Pleurochrysis carterae, by means of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transfer of a bacterial hygromycin B-resistance gene. To...

The process of bacterial transformation results from the introduction specific genetic material into bacteria cells and subsequent gene expression. This technology has significant applications in cloning technology, allows new possibilities for breeding. use cellulose babassu mesocarp to improve was not found literature. Thus, objective this work evaluate effect biopolymers (cellulose biopolyme...
