Evidence for phage-mediated gene transfer among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains on the phylloplane
(American Society for Microbiology, 1994-02)
As the use of genetically engineered microorganisms for agricultural tasks becomes more frequent, the ability of bacteria to exchange genetic material in the agricultural setting must be assessed. Transduction (bacterial ...
Application of DNA probes to analysis of bacteriophage distribution patterns in the environment
(American Society for Microbiology, 1992-06)
Radiolabeled bacteriophage DNA probes have been used in this study to determine the distribution of Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infecting bacteriophages in natural samples of lake water, sediment, soil, and sewage. The sensitivity ...
Continuous culture model to examine factors that affect transduction among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains in freshwater environments
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995-09)
Transduction among Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains was observed in continuous cultures operated under environmentally relevant generation times, cell densities, and phage-to-bacterium ratios, suggesting its importance as a ...
Transduction of linked chromosomal genes between Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains during incubation in situ in a freshwater habitat
(American Society for Microbiology, 1990-01)
Both transduction of single chromosomal loci and cotransduction of closely linked loci were observed between lysogenic and nonlysogenic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a freshwater habitat. Transductants were recovered ...
Effects of suspended particulates on the frequency of transduction among Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a freshwater environment
(American Society for Microbiology, 1995-04)
Transduction has been shown to play a significant role in the transfer of plasmid and chromosomal DNA in aquatic ecosystems. Such ecosystems contain a multitude of environmental factors, any one of which may influence the ...
Study of the response of a biofilm bacterial community to UV radiation
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999-05)
We have developed a bioluminescent whole-cell biosensor that can be incorporated into biofilm ecosystems. RM4440 is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa FRD1 derivative that carries a plasmid-based recA-luxCDABE fusion. We immobilized ...
