Specifically, it is not known whether exposure to stressors may cause a community to alter its plasmid uptake ability. We assessed whether metals (Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn) and one metalloid (As), at ...

The measured plasmid numbers for total cellular and nuclear-associated fractions were normalized to the endogenous gene for β-actin. Uptake profiles for 25 kDa PEI and dodecylated 2 kDa PEI ...

Are DNA transformation and plasmid transformation the same? DNA transformation and plasmid transformation are the same thing: the uptake of genetic material from the environment by “competent” cells.

Researchers have developed PlasmidMaker, a versatile automated platform for plasmid design & construction. These circular DNA molecules are used by scientists to introduce new genes into a target ...

Genetically engineered plasmid can be used to fight antimicrobial resistance Date: September 16, 2019 Source: American Society for Microbiology Summary: Researchers have engineered a plasmid to ...
