Lactobacillus plantarum has been found to play a significant role in maintaining the balance of intestinal flora in the human gut. However, it is sensitive to commonly used antibiotics and is often incidentally killed during treatment. We attempted to id
A 437-bp full-length coding region ofcrdRwas amplified with PCR using the primer pairs crdR-1 and crdR-2 (Table2) with genomic ATCC31749 DNA. The amplifiedcrdRfragment, digested withBamHI andSacI, was ligated into the pBQ vector [38], creating the pBQcrdR vector (Table1). To constr...
Cyanobacteria evolved more then 2.0 billion years ago and were the first organisms to perform oxygenic photosynthesis [1,2]. They exist in many different shapes and forms e.g. unicellular, filamentous and colonial and can even form symbiosis with a variety of organisms [3]. Several cyanobacterial...

Full size image With the transcription start sites mapped, the regions upstream of the -35 elements of activated promoters (P cysIXHDNYZ , Pfpr 2, P ssuR , and Pcg 3372) were searched for the presence of conserved DNA motifs. In all four cases, two 10 bp motifs that form an inverted...
The full se- quence of the same strain was also deposited in 2012 by Chen et al. (NZ_CP003949) [15], who focused their re- search on the lipid droplets of this strain. Twenty strains of R. fascians were sequenced to understand the patho- genicity of this species for plants [21],...

Enterocin AS-48 is produced by Enterococcus faecalis S48 to compete with other bacteria in their environment. Due to its activity against various Gram positive and some Gram negative bacteria it has clear potential for use as a food preservative. Here, w
Full size image Discussion In this study, we present a high-quality whole genome assembly ofA. terreusATCC 20541 containing 10,410 protein coding genes with a total genome size of ~ 30 Mb. The largest scaffold size was 3.82 Mb and the N50 value of scaffolds was 1.58 Mb. In addition...
