Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus replication associated protein (Rep) triggers transposition of IS426 in Agrobacterium
We report a high rate of IS426 transposition in Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the presence of the Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV) replication associated protein gene (Rep). Upon conjugal transfer of the binary plasmid pCam‐SLCMV‐Rep with the SLCMV Rep gene in the sense orientation under the transcriptional control of the Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter into the A. tumefaciens vir helper strain EHA105, the binary plasmid size increased in all 15 transconjugants studied. Southern blot analysis of the transconjugants with the binary plasmid probe revealed that the 35S promoter and its proximal sequenc...

5′‐coding sequence of the nasA gene of Azotobacter vinelandii is required for efficient expression
In this study, we continued expression analyses of the nasA gene and observed that the nasA 5′‐coding sequence plays an important role in gene expression, as demonstrated by the fact that deletions caused over sixfold reduction in the expression of the lacZ reporter gene. Further analysis suggests that the nasA 5′‐coding sequence promotes gene expression in a way that is not associated with weakened transcript folding around the translational initiation region or codon usage bias. The findings from this study imply that there exists potential to improve gene expression in A. vinelandii by optimizing 5′‐coding ...

Complete genome sequence of the bacteriophage YMC/09/04/R1988 MRSA BP: a lytic phage from a methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolate
Abstract
Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an increasing cause of serious infection, both in the community and hospital settings. Despite sophisticated strategies and efforts, the antibiotic options for treating MRSA infection have been narrowed due to the limited number of newly developed antimicrobials. Herein, we analyze the completely sequenced genome of a novel virulent phage YMC/09/04/R1988 MRSA BP as a potential alternative anti‐MRSA agent, which lysed clinical isolates from a patient admitted to the hospital due to hip disarticulation. The phage contains a linear double‐stranded DNA genome...

Comparison of in vivo and in vitro properties of capsulated and noncapsulated variants of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides strain Afadé: a potential new insight into the biology of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia
In this study, in vivo and in vitro assays were conducted to compare the virulence of the two variants and their abilities to resist host defence. Capsulated variants were shown, in a mouse model, to induce longer bacteraemia that was correlated with better serum resistance in vitro. In contrast, TR variants displayed better ability to adhere to an inert support, linked to the absence of a capsule, changes in cell surface hydrophobicity and increased resistance to antimicrobial peptide and hydrogen peroxide. The switch from one variant population to another, which was observed both in vivo and in vitro under stress conditi...
