Evolution of a Plasmid Regulatory Circuit Ameliorates Plasmid Fitness Cost

C. A. Elg, E. Mack, M. Rolfsmeier, T. C. McLean, O. Kosterlitz, E. Soderling, S. Narum, P. A. Rowley, C. M. Thomas, E. M. Top

This study shows that inactivating the upf31 gene in a plasmid improves its maintenance in E. coli by altering gene regulation, demonstrating how plasmid evolution can affect host range.

An apparent lack of synergy between degradative enzymes against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms

J. R. Ellis, P. A. Rowley

This study shows that low concentrations of degradative enzymes lack synergy in dispersing S. aureus biofilms, but a specific sequence of pepsin followed by zymolyase 20T shows synergy.
