Bioprospecting For Genes That Confer Biofuel Tolerance To Escherichia Coli Using A Genomic Library Approach

Timothy Tomko
TL;DR: The results suggest that by controlling the expression of appropriate heterologous sigma factors, the authors can greatly increase the searchable genomic space within transgenic libraries, and shows how tolerance genes can improve bacterial growth in the presence of toxic biofuel compounds.

Studies on transformation of Escherichia coli with plasmids

TL;DR: Competition with both transforming and non-transforming plasmids indicates that each cell is capable of taking up many DNA molecules, and that the establishment of a transformation event is neither helped nor hindered significantly by the presence of multiple plasmid molecules.
