Mycoplasma
New findings reported from Huazhong Agricultural University describe advances in mycoplasma
August 27th, 2008
"The S-layer protein CTC surface-display system of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was used to test the possibility of displaying the protein of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) agglutinin (pMGA) on the Bt cell surface. By fusing part ofpmgal.2 (pmgal.2p) with the surface-anchoring motif of ctc, two recombinant plasmids, pCTC-PMGA1.2P and pCSPMGA1.2P, were constructed," scientists in Wuhan, People's Republic of China report. "They harboured the fusion genes ctc-pntgal.2p and csa-ctc-pmga1.2p (csa represents csaAB operon, important in anchoring the S-layer protein on the cell surface), respectively. Two recombinant Bt strains were constructed by electro-transferring recombinant...
