UCLA scientists used DropSynth to make thousands of bacterial genes with different versions of phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase, or PPAT (pictured).

Fierer adds that it may be possible to retrieve useful amounts of bacterial gene sequences from textured surfaces that won't yield fingerprints.

Ten sets of bacterial genes have similar, newly discovered defense roles, researchers report online January 25 in Science.

But the rapid rise of bacterial genes for drug resistance stems from more than lucky mutation, Levy adds.

Rho, found in many bacteria, acts as a protein regulator of bacterial gene expression, determining which genes get turned on or off.

Nine groups of bacterial genes turned out to be antiphage defense systems, and one system protected against plasmids, another source of foreign DNA, the researchers found.

The structures of the halogenated compounds synthesized by seaweeds are similar to those of these substances so that they cause a blockade of the bacterial receptors and suppress the switchover of bacterial gene regulation to biofilm formation.

Here's why: When the DNA of a bacterial gene is being transcribed into RNA, and the molecular machinery of transcription gets stuck at a bulky adduct, Mfd appears on the scene, recruits other repair proteins that snip away the damaged section of DNA, and «un-sticks» the transcription machinery so that it can resume its work.

The message seems clear: antibiotics are losing their magic touch after decades of incautious prescription, improper use and the inevitable spread of bacterial genes that confer drug resistance.
