Plasmid visualization and nif gene location in nitrogen-fixing Azospirillum strains.

Abstract:

:A modified gel electrophoresis technique provided a reproducible way of detecting and isolating plasmids with molecular weights ranging from 12 X 10(6) to 370 X 10(6) for Azospirillum species. Analysis with the nifHD region of Rhizobium trifolii showed that the Azospirillum nif genes were chromosomally located in all eight strains investigated and not on endogenous plasmids.

  • Construction of an Enterococcus faecalis Tn917-mediated-gene-disruption library offers insight into Tn917 insertion patterns.

    abstract::Sequencing the insertion sites of 8,865 Tn917 insertions in Enterococcus faecalis strain OG1RF identified a hot spot in the replication terminus region corresponding to 6% of the genome where 65% of the transposons had inserted.
