The NCAA transfer portal is a window of unknowns for Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer and his staff, a time of year that proves to be unpredictable. “You never know this time of year," DeBoer ...

"This allowed us to track the movement of multiple plasmids in a single experiment and could be extended to study the dynamics of plasmid transfer in microbial communities and interactions between ...

Despite extensive knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of conjugation, the dynamics of plasmid transfer within spatially organized bacterial populations and the impact of community architecture on ...

However, plasmid copy numbers can fluctuate, causing inconsistent gene expression within bacterial populations. By balancing CRISPR-Cas-mediated cutting and gene transfer, ADEPT dynamically ...

we compared the delivery of a biodegradative gene using plasmid backbones pUC19 and RSF1010. These plasmids differ in copy number, replicative origin, and mobilization genes. We used an adapted ...

For example, many antibiotic-resistance genes are spread through plasmid transfer between bacteria, while bypassing numerous bacterial defense mechanisms aimed at eliminating any foreign DNA entering ...

This is the first time where we've discovered that zinc inhibits the process of plasmid transfer, and at lower concentrations it has minimal effect on bacteria." Melha Mellata, Ph.D ...

This important and novel study addresses the challenge of antimicrobial resistance by targeting plasmid proteins that interfere with plasmid transfer as a strategy to limit the spread of ...

The company’s commercial-scale production capabilities allow it to deliver an integrated programme from the development of optimal plasmid and its manufacturing process for seamless transfer into ...
