Construction and properties of chimeric plasmids in Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance chimeric plasmids have been constructed by in vitro enzymatic manipulation and introduced into Bacillus subtilis by transformation. The parental plasmids used had been introduced into B. subtiis from Staphylococcus aureus by transformation. Of the seven recombinant plasmids constructed using restriction endonucleases, one was made using EcoRI, another using Hpa II, and five with Xba I (from Xanthomonas badrii), demonstrating the utility of the latter enzyme for molecular cloning experimen… Show more

“…In some cases ifplasmid DNA from B. subtilis cells transformed with this plasmid is isolated immediately after transformation, plasmids indistinguishable in size from pJK50l are found, while after subcultivation large deletions are again observed. This clearly demonstrates that in this case the deletion event occurs after the uptake of the plasmid into the cell, as has also been proposed by others (Gryczan and Dubnau 1978).…”

“…coli hybrid plasmids of this type (pJID10, pJID12, pJID21, pJK521, and pJK523) (Goebel et al 1979; Kreft and Goebel, manuscript in preparation). Two of them, pJK310 (pUBllO + pBR325) (Gryczan et al 1978;Bolivar 1978) and pJK523 (p021 + pBR322) (Novick 1976;Bolivar et al 1977), express resistance to two antibiotics in B. subtilis and carry single restriction sites in these markers.…”

“…Preparation of competent cells (12) and PBS1 transduction (15) were performed as previously described. Measurement of ␤-galactosidase activity was done as described in the accompanying paper, and the activity was expressed as specific activity per milligram of protein (27).…”

“…For TSS media in which the only nitrogen source was glutamine or proline, NH4Cl was omitted from the TSS salts and glutamine or proline was added to the medium at a final concentration of 0.1%. The doubling times listed in Table 2 were obtained by monitoring the growth curves of liquid cultures and were calculated by the formula (18). The uses of SPI in specialized transduction and its propagation have been described previously (63).…”
