Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen, which today represents one of the leading aetiologic agents of nosocomial infections and, increasingly, of implant infections. Here, in a collection of 43 E. faecalis isolated from implant orthopaedic infections, virulence-related phenotypes (biofi

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultures were selected to determine the effects of plasmid size on host growth kinetics and plasmid copy number. A complete synthetic medium was verified and the effects of yeast nitrogen base without amino acids medium and leucine selection were established for the strain.
In order to better understand the high plasmid stability in immobilized recombinant E. coli cells, the effects of dilution rate on the pTG201 plasmid stability, the copy number, and the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (encoded by XyIE gene) production were, at first, studied in free E. coli W3101 continuou
