Journal ArticleDOI
DNA transfection of Escherichia coli by electroporation
TL;DR: In most strains tested, electroporation was far more efficient than Ca2+-dependent transfection (transformation), and various aspects of the Electroporation-mediated DNA uptake are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome structure of the Lactobacillus temperate phage Φg1e: the whole genome sequence and the putative promoter/repressor system
Ken-Ichi Kodaira,Masaya Oki,Makiko Kakikawa,Nobukatsu Watanabe,Machiko Hirakawa,Kazuyo Yamada,Akira Taketo +6 more
TL;DR: Based on comparative analysis with other related proteins of the Lactobacillus and Lactococcus phages as well as the Escherichia coli phages, functions were putatively assigned to several phi g1e ORFs: cng and cpg (encoding for repressors), hel (helicase), ntp (NTPase), and several ORFs (e.g., minor capsid proteins).
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative Degradation of Chitin by Extracellular and Cell Surface-Expressed Chitinases from Paenibacillus sp. Strain FPU-7
Takafumi Itoh,Takao Hibi,Yutaka Fujii,Ikumi Sugimoto,Akihiro Fujiwara,Fumiko Suzuki,Yukimoto Iwasaki,Jin-Kyung Kim,Akira Taketo,Hisashi Kimoto +9 more
TL;DR: The high chitinolytic activity of strain FPU-7 and the chitinases may be useful for environmentally friendly processing of chitIn in the manufacture of food and/or medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical and Genetic Properties of PaenibacillusGlycosyl Hydrolase Having Chitosanase Activity and Discoidin Domain
TL;DR: Examining cells of “Paenibacillus fukuinensis” D2 suggested that the active enzyme was, after removal of signal peptide, produced from inactive 81-kDa form by proteolysis at the carboxyl-terminal region, suggesting indispensability of an amino- terminal region spanning 425 residues adjacent to the signal peptides.
