Abstract

Following the restriction and ligation of pBD12 plasmid and phi 105 phage DNA and subsequent transformation, the insertion of pBD12 DNA into the phi 105 prophage region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome was achieved. The plasmid markers were linked with the region of prophage immunity and with the markers of the adjacent region of the B. subtilis chromosome. Their behaviour in transformation of cells and protoplasts of rec+ recipients and recE4 mutants was typical of chromosomal markers. The phenotypic expression (resistance to chloramphenicol and kanamycin) of plasmid genes inserted into the chromosome was preserved; however, the resistance levels were reduced.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Aminoglycosides (ASM)

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.
