2018) and have significant nucleotide divergence across their backbones (Harmer and Hall, 2015) and, thus, IncA [reference plasmid pRA1 (Fricke et al., 2009)] and IncC should be separated from IncA/C ...

For example, many antibiotic-resistance genes spread through plasmid transfer between bacteria. However, bacteria also have numerous defense mechanisms aimed at eliminating any foreign DNA ...

The reactions were terminated at 95°C for 5 min, followed by the addition of 20 times the volume of methanol, and analysis by UPLC-MS. For structure confirmation, the sample was purified with semi ...
