Replication and stability of the linear plasmid pBSSB2
Plasmid pBSSB1 is a 27 kb linear DNA with proteins attached at the 5’ termini. It encodes the H: z66 flagellar antigen in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) isolated from Indonesia. Together with the H: j or H: d flagellar antigen encoded by the host chromosome, pBSSB1 renders expression …

Molecular Aspects of Nuclear Genome Involvement in S Cytoplasmic Male-Sterile Maize
… level, this thesis project asked if the linear, plasmid-like mitochondrial DNAs (plmtDNAs) S1 and S2, unique to plants carrying cms-S cytoplasms, are involved in the nuclear control phenomenon. Levels of S1 and S2 plmtDNAs were assayed electrophoretically and shown to have differing …

Investigation of a kalilo plasmid in Louisiana Neurospora tetrasperma
… in Neurospora is caused by the insertion of a linear plasmid, kalilo, into the host mitochondrial genome. Kalilo-related senescence has been studied extensively in Hawaiian field-isolated strains of Neurospora intermedia. This work, however, investigated the presence of a kalilo-like plasmid, …

The Relapsing Fever Spirochete, Borrelia Hermsii, and Complement Regulatory Proteins
… isolates possessing fhbA carry it on a 200 kb linear plasmid, whereas isolates that lack fhbA instead carry a 170 kb linear plasmid.To investigate the molecular basis of the interaction between FhbA and FH, truncated FhbA proteins were generated and tested for FH binding. Binding required both …

Genomic diversity of Lactobacillus salivarius
… genome architecture. The circular megaplasmids harboured by L. salivarius strains encode strain-specific traits for intestinal survival and probiotic activity. L. salivarius strains are increasingly being exploited for their probiotic properties in humans and animals. In terms of …

Investigating the genome complexity of Streptomyces clavuligerus
… S. clavuligerus includes a chromosome, and four linear plasmids pSCL1, pSCL2, pSCL3 and the megaplasmid pSCL4, which is the largest linear plasmid ever identified at 1.8 Mb in size. In order to study the genomic architecture of S. clavuligerus strains, we established an optimised method of …

Improvements in codon usage analysis for a more detailed understanding of genome content and horizontal gene transfer
… In A. tumefaciens we discover that the two plasmids are closely related, despite being independently conjugative. By using the mode algorithm on the B. burgdorferi genome, we are able to demonstrate a higher resolution of codon usage relationships than had been previously shown—we observe a …
