Plasmid Transfer into the Homoacetogen Acetobacterium woodii by Electroporation and Conjugation
Open accessAbstract
Shuttle vectors (pMS3 and pMS4) which replicated in Escherichia coli and in gram-positive Acetobacterium woodii were constructed by ligating the replication origin of plasmid pAMbeta1 with the E. coli cloning vector pUC19 and the tetM gene of streptococcal transposon Tn916. Electrotransformation of A. woodii was achieved at frequencies of 4.5 x 10 transformants per mug of plasmid DNA. For conjugal plasmid transfer, the mobilizable shuttle vector pKV12 was constructed by cloning the tetM gene into pAT187. Mating of E. coli containing pKV12 with A. woodii resulted in transfer frequencies of 3 x 10 to 7 x 10 per donor or recipient.

Conjugation was reported for C. autoethanogenum using E. coli strain HB101 as donor and for A. woodii using E. coli strain S17-1 as donor.
“Conjugation was reported for C. autoethanogenum (using E. coli strain HB101 as donor) (Mock et al., 2015), and A. woodii (using E. coli strain S17-1 as donor) (Strätz et al., 1994).”

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.
