Quasi-realists can therefore hold that kicking dogs remains wrong in worlds at which our counterparts approve of it, for o

Practicing is a double-edged sword. Of course, you want to rehearse your talk, but if you rehearse it too much and have a ‘script’ memorized, it can sound robotic. It can also backfire because if you screw up one little bit of the script, it can cause a sort of domino effect and you can end up totally lost.

It is known that all plasmids transmissible by conjugation contain a known relaxase [42].

yeast assembly has been used

RP4 plasmid (also known as RK2, RP1, and the Birmingham plasmid) stands not only as a model of bacterial conjugation studied over the past 40 years, but also as one of the most conspicuous, broad-host range conjugative plasmids described in the literature. It mediates mating and plasmid transfer between a wide variety of Gram– donors/recipients (8) and is also capable of efficiently conjugating with Gram+, (9) yeast (10,11) and mammalian cells. (12)

Optimization parameters included: (i) molten agar media temperature, (ii) molten agar media agar concentration, and (iii) volumes of E. coli and S. cerevisiae cell suspensions harvested at various optical densities (ODs)

Some conjugation systems, such as IncF, IncH, and IncI plasmids, transfer DNA efficiently in liquid media, while others, including the IncN, IncM, IncP, and IncW plasmids, achieve higher DNA transfer frequencies on solid media [28]. It is suspected that the ability to transfer DNA in different environmental conditions is related to variation in pilus formation, structure, and stability of cells during the conjugation process.

such a protocol may permit more accurate enumeration of transconjugants by avoiding the use of a spreader while plating cells on selective media

may enhance the ability to transfer plasmids and chromosomes greater than 100 kbp

we developed a procedure for conjugation within solid media. Such a protocol may expand conjugation as a tool for DNA transfer to species that require semi-solid or solid media for growth
