자연계에서 분리한 Pseudomonas에서 크기가 매우 큰 plasmid (약 180 megadaltons:를 분리하였다. 이 plasmid는 기존의 plasmid 검출방법보다 더 온화한 조건에서 분리되었다. Alkalin., sodium dodecyl sulfate (pH 12. 45)를 사용하여 chromosomal DNA를 변성시킨 뒤 $55^{\circ}C$로 열처리 하여 covalently closed circular DNA 의 손실을 최대한으로 방지하였고, polyethylene glycol을 최종농도 10%로 첨가하여 plasmid DNA를 선택적으로 농축하였다. 한편, 이 plasmid는 mitomycin C를 처리하여 얻은 cured sitrains에서는 나타나지 않아 salicylate를 분해하는 새로운 plasmid로 확인되었다.

This paper dealt with plasmid DNA profile in 98 Salmonella(S) isolated from pigs and cattle sources in Taegu, Gyeongbook and Gyeongnam during the period from 1984 to 1987. Also we were studied for restriction enzyme analysis of the plasmid DNA, and mouse infection, Sereny test and normal setum resistance test in guinea pig for S typhimurium and S enteritidis harbored or cured 60 megadalton(Md) plasmid and 36 Md plasmid, respectively. Of the 13 Salmonella isolated from cattle, 7 Salmonella harbored one or more plasmids and molecular sizes of the large plasmids were 60 Md for S typhimurium and 36 Md for S enteritidis. Of the 85 Salmonella isolated from pigs, 47 Salmonella were confirmed as being one or more plasmids, and all the S typimurium stains harbored 60 Md plasmid. In enzyme digestion with 8 types of restriction endonuclease for 60 Md plasmid DNA of S typhimurium, cleavage patterns were varied to enzymes, and the DNA was segmented into 4 to 15 fragments. In restriction enzyme analysis of 36 Md plasmid DNA obtained from four strains of S. enteritidis, the DNA showed the same cleavage patterns obtained with Eco RI, Hind III and Bam H I, and was segmented into 3 to 5 fragments. In virulence for mice by measuring the 50% lethal dose ($LD_{50}$), the $LD_{50}$ values obtained for 60 Md virulence-associated plasmid harbored strains of S typhimurium and 36 Md virulence-associated plasmid of S enteritidis were up to $10^4$-fold lower than the values obtained for the plasmid-cured strains of the same serotype. Only the plasmid harbored strains were resistant to the bactericidal activity of 90% guinea pig serum, and only they gave positive responses in sereny test. We suggested that their plasmid DNA might be associated with virulence for mice.

An aniline-utilizing microorganism identified as a species of Pseudomonas was isolated from soil contaminated highly with aniline and urea-herbicide. This strain was able to utilize aniline as the sole source of carbon and energy, and was shown to harbor a single large plasmid mediating the aniline assimilation. Subsequent plasmid-curing of this bacterium resulted in the abolishment of the aniline utilizing phenotype and the loss of catechol-C2,3O-oxygenase. The reestablishment of the plasmid, denoted pB10, in cured Pseudomonas sp. via filter surface mating, resulted in restoration of the aniline assimilation abilities and enzyme activity.

수계환경에서 세균의 접합에 의해 나타난 conjugant 에서 plasmid 의 재배열과 $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 행방을 조사하기 위하여 자연계 분리균주와 유전공학적 변형균주(GMM)의 $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 전이빈도를 조사하는 동시에 3.9 kb 의 $Km^{r}$ 유전자를 DNA probe 로 사용하여 Southern analysis 를 실시하였다. $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 전이빈도는 실험실 환경에서 GMM 균주가 자연계균주(DK1) 보다 100배 더 높게 나타났으나, 무심천에서는 균주에 따라 차이가 없었다. 실험실환경에서 DK1 균주를 donor 로 하여 LB 나 FW 에서 얻은 conjugant 들은 모두 같은 수의 plasmid 를 가지고 있었으나 크기는 다르게 재배열하였다으며, $Km^{r}$ 유전자는 donor 의 R plasmid 인 pDK101 과 비슷한 위치에서 발견되었다. GMM 균주가 donor 일 때에는 180 kb 의 plasmid 가 새로 나타났으며, 특히 FW 수질에서 donor 가 DKC600 일 때는 $Km^{r}$ 유전자가 염색체에 삽입되어 있었다. 무심천의 자연계 수질환경에서는 DK1 이나 DKB701 이 donor 일 때 4개 및 8개의 plasmid 가 새로 나타났으며, $Km^{r}$ 유전자는 재배열된 4개의 plasmid 와 염색체에서 발견되었다. DKC600 이 donor 일 때는 recipient 의 작은 plasmid 가 모두 소실되었으나, $Km^{r}$ 유전자는 새로 나타난 plasmid 와 염색체에서 발견되었다. 그러므로 자연환경에서의 수질에서는 plasmid 의 재배열이 더 다양했으며, $Km^{r}$ 유전자도 다양한 크기로 재배열된 plasmid 에서 발견되었다.

To investigate the epidemiological trait of intestinal diseases of animals caused by thermophilic Campyllobacter spp., isolation of etiological agent was carried out and the profiles of plasmids and the transfer of resistance plasmid in the isolated Campylobacter spp. were examined. The results were as follows. 1. A total of 110 isolates of C jejuni and C coli were subjected to the test for the presence of plasmid DNA. Of the isolates examined, 60% of the isolates were noted to harbor plasmid DNA. Plasmid occurrencer ate from pigs, chickens and cattle were 76.2%, 61.7% and 37.7%, respectively. The plasmids of a large molecular weight, ranging from 36 Md to 86Md, were identified with the strains of tetracycline resistant. 2. Transfer frequency of tetracycline resistant plasmids was higher in the case of the filter mating method than in the broth mating method by the factor of 10~1,000. 3. Tetracycline resistant plasmids of C jejuni were transferrable to C jejuni and C coli by conjugation. In a low frequency, the transfer of tetracycline plasmid was also possible to Vibrio parahemolyticus. However, it was impossible to transfer to Streptococcus fecalis, E coli and Vibrio cholerae. 4. Tetracycline resistant plasmids of C jejuni were impossible to transfer to Campylobacter spp. and related bacteria by transformation.

Characteristics of the food isolates and the clinical specimens isolates of E. coli harboring virulence factor and their correlations were analyzed. The predominant serogroup were 08 and 027 in the food isolates and 06 and 018 in the clinical isolates, respectively, showing the different patterns in serogrouping between them. In the test of antibiotic susceptibility, the food isolates were resistant to cephalothin, streptomycin, tetracycline and minocycline, and the clinical isolates were resistant to ampicillin, carbenicillin, streptomycin, cephalothin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, tetracyclino and minocycline, respectively. It shows that E.coli isolated from food sources and clinical specimens might be correlated. Plasmid profile in the food and clinical isolates showed wide diversity. Especially, large sized plasmid DNA such as 60 MDa, 90 MDa and 120 MDa were observed. The plasmid DNA (60 MDa) containing a gene encoding hemolysin was found in 43% of the food isolates and 35% of the clinical isolates. To study chromosomal homology, PFGE analysis was performed, showing different restriction patterns by Xbal. This result indicates that there were no genetic correlations between the foods and the clinical isolates.

Higher plant transformation vector systems are mainly developed based on the natural biosystems which infecting higher plants. Two major groups attracting much of the research are Cauliflower mosaic virus and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Cauliflower mosaic virus has a double stranded genome, and a portion of the genome can be substituted for a foreign DNA segment without loosing the ability of infection. A. tumefaciens carries a large plasmid. Ti plasmid whose portion can be substitute and trasferred into the plant chromosome.

최근 전세계적으로 문제가 되고 있는 장출형성 대장균 O157:H7을 분리배양 및 동정 없이 바로 시료를 분석하여 신속하게 검출하기 위한 다중 중합효소 연쇄반응 (multiplex PCR) 기법을 확립하고, 이 기법을 이용하여 국내 분리 균주 중에서 SLT-I.II, eaeA, 60-MDa plasmid gene을 가지고 있는 대장균을 유전자 수준에서 검출하고자 하였다. 장출혈성 대장균 O157:H7이 가진 SLT-I.II, 60-MDa plasmid 유전자들에 대한 특이 oligonucleotide primers (MK1'-MK2', NAE19-NAE20, MFSIF-MFSIR)를 함께 동시에 반응 완충액에 넣어 다중 중합효소 연쇄반응을 시행한 결과 317bp (eaeA), 228bp (SLT-I.II), 167bp (60-MDa plasmid)의 PCR 증폭 DNA생성물을 표준균주 (E. coli ATCC 35150)에서는 확인할 수 있었지만, 기타 다른 병원성 장내세균 13세균 13균주에서는 band를 확인할 수 없었다. 한편 다중 중합효소 연쇄반응의 template DNA 추출 방법에 따른 PCR 결과를 비교하였다. 각각의 DNA 추출 방법 중 boiling lysis 방법이 신속하고 간편하여 장출혈성 대장균 O157:H7에 의한 식중독의 임상진단에 다중 중합효소 연쇄반응 (multiplex PCR) 적용하는 데에는 boiling lysis법을 이용하는 것이 가장 적합한 방법으로 확인되었다.

The IncP plasmid R995 has been a useful self-transmissible, broad-host-range vector for a number of applications including the recombinase/conjugation-based cloning of large genomic DNA segments. However, R995 derivatives (or related plasmids) expressing a wide range of different resistance markers and Flp recombinase target sites do not exist in the literature. In addition, documented strategies for applying such plasmids in cloning applications that take advantage of conjugation for the convenient isolation and recovery of constructs are extremely limited. Here, we report a new series of R995 plasmids with alternative markers to increase options for applications in backgrounds already expressing resistance to a particular antibiotic(s). These R995 plasmids have been engineered to contain FRT sites that can be used for recombinase-based cloning. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by cloning 20 kb regions from the Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli genomes and by cloning DNA from an exogenous plasmid source. To our knowledge, this represents the first systematic engineering of an intact, self-transmissible IncP plasmid with a series of alternative antibiotic markers and FRT sites.
