The Escherichia coli cysG gene was successfully subcloned and over-expressed to produce a 52 kDa protein that was purified to homogeneity. This protein was shown to catalyse the S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of uroporphyrinogen III to give a product identified as sirohydrochlorin on the basis of its absorption spectra, incorporation of 14C label from S-adenosyl[Me-14C]methionine and mass and 1H-n.m.r. spectra of its octamethyl ester. Further confirmation of the structure was obtained from a 14C-n.m.r. spectrum of the methyl ester produced by incubation of the methylase with uroporphyrinogen III, derived from [4.6-13C2]porphobilinogen, and S-adenosyl[Me-13C]methionine.

SUMMARYEscherichia coliK-12 mutants resistant to glutamyl-γ-methyl ester were isolated. A mutation leading to resistance of up to 1·4 mg/ml of the methionine analogue maps at min 63 and is 13% cotransducible withserAindicating an alteration in themetKgene. Another mutation leading to resistance to 3 mg/ml of the analogue and cross-resistance to other amino acid analogues maps at min 87. This mutation, which has the phenotype of MetJ−, is shown to be situated between theglpKandmetBgenes and thus indicates a different gene order from the published one.

<p>In this research we reported the synthesis of oligonucleotide-silver nanoparticle (OSN) conjugates and demonstrated their use along with magnetic beads as biosensor for Escherichia coli detection under magnetic field condition. Oligonucleotide DNA probes were conjugated on silver nanoparticles using alkanethiols linker. Two kinds of alkanethiols linker, 11-mercaptoundodecanoic acid (11-MUDA) and 16-mercaptophexadecanoic acid (16-MHDA) were compared to get the best probe conjugation yield and OSN UV-Vis absorption spectra properties. Three different methods of Escherichia coli DNA isolation i.e. Chen and Kuo (1993), Phenol Chloroform Isoamylalcohol (PCI) extraction and boiling lysis were also compared to explore the performance of the biosensor towards the DNA target purity. Detection process through hybridization between the DNA probe and the target was carried out at 55oC for 1 hour incubation time. The results showed that 16-MHDA gave higher conjugation yield and higher OSN UV-Vis absorption spectra than 11-MUDA. The biosensor was able to detect the presence of the DNA target which was isolated from the three isolation methods. The best detection signal was achieved by Chen and Kuo isolation method in which it could detect the presence of the DNA target up to 1.3 ng/µL.</p><p><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: DNA biosensor, Silver Nanoparticles, Escherichia coli</p>
