  3. Chloroform-free permeabilization for improved detection of β-galactosidase activity in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Publication date: Available online 21 March 2017


      Author(s): Charlotte Toulouse, Claudia C. Häse, Julia Steuber

      LacZ (β-galactosidase) is used to monitor the transcription of genes in reporter strains carrying the lacZ gene under the control of a promotor of interest. This protocol for LacZ activity determinations in Vibrio cholerae following detergent lysis results in 2.5-fold increase of LacZ activities compared to lysis with chloroform.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Bacterial lipoproteins are embedded in the cell membrane of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria where they serve numerous functions central to cell envelope physiology. Lipoproteins are tethered to the membrane by an N-acyl-S-(mono/di)-acyl-glyceryl-cysteine anchor that is variably acylated depending on genera.
