摘要: Use of photosynthetic organisms is one the sustainable ways to produce high-value products. Marine purple bacteria are research focuses as microbial production hosts. Genetic transformation indispensable a biotechnology technique. However, only conjugation has been determined be an applicable method for marine so far. In this study, first time, dual peptide-based combining cell penetrating peptide (CPP), cationic and Tat-derived (dTat-Sar-EED) (containing D-amino acids Tat endosomal escape domain (EED) connected by sarcosine linkers) successfully delivered plasmid DNA into Rhodovulum sulfidophilum, bacterium. The delivery efficiency was greatly improved dTat-Sar-EED. concentrations dTat-Sar-EED, growth stage recovery duration affected delivery. inhibited at 4 °C A22, which inhibitor actin homolog MreB. This suggests that occurred via MreB-mediated energy dependent process. Additionally, peptide-mediated also E. coli cells. Thus, wide range could genetically transformed using novel method.
