A first approach to individual-based modeling of the bacterial conjugation dynamics
… a spatially explicit individual-based model of bacterial conjugation using use a discrete representation of time and space. The space is defined by a discrete grid where agents are place and evolve through their local interactions. Each agent is described by a state vector updated according the …

Transfer functions of Streptomyces plasmid pIJ101: insights into a novel bacterial conjugation system
… at two positions within Tra, one dispensable for conjugation, and one previously found to be important for chromosome mobilization; these epitopes allowed for identification of Tra in Western blots of E. coli and Streptomyces, as well as identification of the protein in Streptomyces by …

PATTERNED BIOFILM FORMATION TO INVESTIGATE BACTERIA-SURFACE INTERACTIONS
<p>Bacterial adhesion to surfaces and subsequent formation of microcolonies play important roles in biofilm formation, which is a major cause of chronic infections and persistent biofouling. Despite the significance, mechanistic understanding of biofilm formation is still hindered by the structural …

Towards in vivo editing of the human microbiome
… resistance and toxins. In addition to leveraging bacterial conjugation and the prokaryotic defense system CRISPR-Cas9, we employed bacteriophages for depleting native strains to empty the niche for an engineered version. Our work enables applications in engineering probiotic strains with augmented …

Development and Application of a Microfluidic Cultivation Platform for the Analysis and Control of Industrially Relevant Synthetic Microbial Co-Cultures
… Pseudomonas putida and Escherichia coli strains, bacterial conjugation and the direct cell contact required for it, were demonstrated at the single-cell level with the developed microfluidic devices.<br />For control of the consortium, a genetically modified C. glutamicum L-lysine producer was …

Acquisition and Exclusion of Pathogenicity Island 1 (PAPI-1) in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
… and is known to play an important role in bacterial evolution and adaptation. Conjugative transfer of genomic islands (GIs) has recently been reported in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PAPI-1, one of the largest pathogenicity islands of P. aeruginosa, encodes several …

Factors that affect horizontal gene transfer in enteric bacteria
… of genetic material containing resistance genes. Conjugation machinery offers an efficient method for acquisition of AMR and virulence genes, which may be responsible for propelling the evolution of pathogenic bacteria. This dissertation explores the factors, specifically catecholamines and …

Engineering Escherichia coli as a general genome synthesis platform
… of megabase-sized human genome sections. Bacterial conjugation permits the direct transfer of megabase-scale DNA segments between cells while preserving the structural integrity of the DNA, a key step in genome synthesis workflows. However, delivery of large helper plasmids encoding the …
