Members of two genera Gram‐negative bacteria, Serratia and Erwinia , produce a β‐lactam antibiotic, 1‐carbapen‐2‐em‐3‐carboxylic acid. We have reported previously the cloning sequencing genes responsible for production this carbapenem in carotovora . These are organized as an operon, carA–H controlled by LuxR‐type transcriptional activator, encoded linked carR gene. report paper genetic dissection putative operon to determine function each genes. demonstrate mutational analysis that products...
Aedes aegypti is a vector of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses. Current control strategies such as community engagement, source reduction, insecticides have not been sufficient to prevent viral outbreaks. Thus, interest in novel involving genetic engineering growing. Female mosquitoes rely on flight mate with males obtain bloodmeal from host. We hypothesized that knockout genes specifically expressed female associated the indirect muscles would result flightless mosquito. Using...
Abstract Increased usage of organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) has led to detectable levels in pregnant women and neonates, which is associated with negative neurological outcomes. Therefore, we investigated if maternal OPFR exposure altered adult offspring feeding, locomotor, anxiety‐like behaviors on a low‐fat (LFD) or high‐fat diet (HFD). Wild‐type C57Bl/6J dams were orally dosed vehicle (sesame oil) an mixture (1 mg/kg combination each tris(1,3‐dichloro‐2‐propyl)phosphate,...

Mosquito gene editing has become routine in several laboratories with the establishment of systems such as transcription-activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), zinc-finger (ZFNs), and homing endonucleases (HEs). More recently, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) technology offered an easier cheaper alternative for precision genome engineering. Following nuclease action, DNA repair pathways will fix broken ends, often...
