In this paper, the influence of the combination of last sense codon and stop codon on expression efficiency was studied. By our study, for the last sense codon CCG, the RFI of GFP(CCG) was 2.1 fold when the stop codon was UAA, but in comparison, the RFI was 1.1 fold when the stop codon was changed from UAA to UAG. For last sense codon TAG, the RFI of GFP(TAG) with the stop codon UAG was stronger than that with the stop codons UAA and UGA.

Internalization of Escherichia coli O157:H7 into spinach plants through root uptake is a potential route of contamination. ATn7-based plasmid vector was used to insert a green fluorescent protein gene into the attTn7 site in the E. coli chromosome. Three green fluorescent protein–labeled E. coli inocula were used: produce outbreak O157:H7 strains RM4407 and RM5279 (inoculum 1), ground beef outbreak O157:H7 strain 86-24h11 (inoculum 2), and commensal strain HS (inoculum 3). These strains were cultivated in fecal slurries and applied at ca. 103 or 107 CFU/g to pasteurized soils in which baby spinach seedlings were planted. No E. coli was recovered by spiral plating from surface-sanitized internal tissues of spinach plants on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Inoculum 1 survived at significantly higher populations (P < 0.05) in the soil than did inoculum 3 after 14, 21, and 28 days, indicating that produce outbreak strains of E. coli O157:H7 may be less physiologically stressed in soils than are nonpathogenic E. coli isolates. Inoculum 2 applied at ca. 107 CFU/ml to hydroponic medium was consistently recovered by spiral plating from the shoot tissues of spinach plants after 14 days (3.73 log CFU per shoot) and 21 days (4.35 log CFU per shoot). Fluorescent E. coli cells were microscopically observed in root tissues in 23 (21%) of 108 spinach plants grown in inoculated soils. No internalized E. coli was microscopically observed in shoot tissue of plants grown in inoculated soil. These studies do not provide evidence for efficient uptake of E. coli O157:H7 from soil to internal plant tissue.

The effect of carbon starvation on the stress-resistant responses of a p-nitrophenol-mineralizing Moraxella strain was examined in both buffer and river water samples. The Moraxella strain showed optimal stress-resistant responses in a minimal salt buffer when carbon-starved for 1–2 d. In the buffer system, the 1- and 2-day carbon-starved Moraxella cultures survived about 150-, 200-, and 100-fold better than the non-starved cultures when exposed to 43.5 °C, 2.7 mol/L NaCl, and 500 µmol/L H2O2for 4 h, respectively. A green fluorescent protein gene- (gfp) labelled derivative of the Moraxella strain was used to examine the stress-resistant responses of the bacterium in natural river water microcosms. The carbon-starved gfp-labelled Moraxella strain also showed stress-resistant responses against heat, osmotic, and oxidative stresses in the river water samples. Despite the stress-tolerant capability of the carbon-starved gfp-labelled Moraxella cells, they did not exhibit any survival advantage over their non-starved counterparts when inoculated into river water microcosms and incubated at 10 and 22 °C for 14 d.Key words: carbon starvation, stress-survival responses, Moraxella, p-nitrophenol, green fluorescent protein gene.
