Deletion of HindIIR and HindIIIR improves DNA transfer via electroporation to Haemophilus influenzae Rd
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Haemophilus influenzae is a bacterial species of interest for its medical relevance and utility as a model system. Despite its role in several landmark molecular and synthetic biology studies, H. influenzae remains underexplored as a potential chassis organism. The limited availability of reliable and convenient transformation methods and genetic tools for H. influenzae are obstacles to this end. However, a strain of H. influenzae Rd KW20 lacking the type II restriction endonucleases HindII and HindIII has previously been developed. Here, we show that this strain is more readily transformable by electroporation than wild-type Rd KW20. We also developed a series of multi-host plasmids carrying antibiotic selection and fluorescent visual markers based on the pSU20 vector. The availability of H. influenzae ΔHindII/III, paired with the electroporation method and plasmids presented here, will promote the exploration of H. influenzae as a host organism for synthetic biology applications.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
