Researchers led by Imperial College London have uncovered new insights into how bacteria hook up to exchange DNA that helps them resist antibiotics. Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial ...

Gene’rating antifungals via bacterial conjugation to yeast Scientists develop superior plasmids that can be transferred from bacteria to yeast via conjugation to create novel antifungal ...

Since the discovery of bacterial conjugation in the 1940s, much research has been done to show how two bacterial cells initially contact each other in preparation for transfer.

Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial conjugation could enable scientists to develop new approaches that slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance, the researchers pointed out.

Understanding the molecular basis of bacterial conjugation could enable researchers to develop new approaches that slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

The researchers first split the E. coli genome into 32 regions, each carrying 10 TAG codons, and used MAGE to replace 10 TAG codons with TAA codons in each of bacterial strains. This resulted in a ...

Conjugation has classically been considered a bacterium-to-bacterium DNA transfer driven by the donor cell and is typically plasmid-encoded. Theoretically it is possible that any type of cell can ...
