Abstract

A method is presented for the introduction of plasmids into Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 8052 by electroporation. A plasmid shuttle vector, pMTL500E, which contains the erythromycin resistance gene and replication machinery of plasmid pAMβ1, was constructed and introduced into C. acetobutylicum by electroporation. The vector was then used to introduce a 2.2 kb ClaI/SphI chromosomal fragment from C. pasteurianum into a leucine requiring mutant of C. acetobutylicum, SBA9, where complementation of auxotrophy was observed. Plasmid DNA indistinguishable from that introduced, on the basis of agarose gel electrophoresis, was observed in transformants containing either plasmid.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Some well-studied non-acetogenic clostridia, such as C. acetobutylicum, C. beijerinckii, C. difficile, and C. botulinum, have transformation protocols that were established as early as 1988.

    “Some of the well-studied, non-acetogenic clostridia, such as the ABE model organisms C. acetobutylicum (Mermelstein et al., 1992) and C. beijerinckii (Oultram et al., 1988), and important pathogens, such as C. difficile (Ackermann et al., 2001) and C. botulinum (Zhou and Johnson, 1993), have transformation protocols that were established as early as 1988.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
