How best to avoid the costs of bearing a plasmid? @rctwright @jpjhall &co find it's best for #bacteria to compensate plasmids by chromosomal (not plasmid-borne) mutations, resulting in 'hubs' for #plasmid accumulation evolution & dissemination #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3ODbXdN

Becoming a big fan of whole #plasmid sequencing for new constructs (Nanopore). Also a big fan of Q5 and Phusion polymerases for their accuracy and of the Hot Fusion variant of the Gibson assembly for its price and convenience (no ligation required!)

More than 90% of all people in industrialised nations carry a mysterious gene sequence in their gut flora. This #plasmid could serve as a biomarker, according to a team from @HIFMB_OL & @UChicago in @CellCellPress. @UniOldenburg

It's official, the final version of our newest research is out in The ISME Journal: "Bacteria use a catabolic patchwork pathway of apparently recent origin for degradation of the synthetic buffer compound TRIS"
Read all about how #Pseudomonas and other #bacteria have learned to eat our well-beloved #TRIS buffer.

CPE and plasmid transfer in hospitals – what can we do? A rapid reflection from ICPIC 2023
#AMR #microbiology #plasmid #CRO #CPE #IDMastodon #infectiousdeseases #infectioncontrol -
'Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a leading cause of sexually transmitted disease and a concern due to increasing AMR. It contains a restricted repertoire of plasmids, including a conjugative plasmid, pConj, which disseminates plasmid-mediated AMR. We show that, in contrast to broad host range plasmids, pConj is largely restricted to and adapted to N. gonorrhoeae, and has been remarkably conserved since it first emerged over 80 years ago.'

Bacteria as playgrounds for MGEs:
How it started - How it's going.
Who interacts with whom? Who defends from what? Things are getting complex...

A two-part resurrection tale (1|2)
by Christoph
Besides a resurrection tale that I'll relate to in the second part, this post will be about anti-defense systems of plasmids as an intrinsic part of the seemingly endless arms race between conjugative elements and their hosts. Still, I am not inclined to act as war correspondent, and certainly not at a time...Read more → https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2023/04/a-two-part-resurrection-tale-1-2.html

A great open-source #plasmid editor was packed as a desktop application for Linux, Mac or Windows. I am very impressed by the ergonomy and the available features and I hope the #teselagen company will maintain this software open source in the future.

...and the environment selects !
As someone with long term interests in #HorizontalGeneTransfer , I'm really interested in this new research exploring environment-specific selection of #plasmid adaptive traits in #bacteria
