Abstract
A versatile plasmid marker rescue transformation system was developed for homology-facilitated cloning in Bacillus subtilis. It is based on the highly efficient host-vector system 6GM15-pHPS9, which allows the direct selection of recombinants by means of β-galactosidase α-complementation. The system offers several advantages over previously described cloning systems: (1) the convenient direct selection of recombinants; (2) the ability to effectively transform B. subtilis competent cells with plasmid monomers, which allows the forced cloning of DNA fragments with high efficiency; (3) the availability of 6 unique target sites, which can be used for direct clone selection, SphI, NdeI, NheI, BamHI, SmaI and EcoRI; and (4) the rapid segregational loss of the helper plasmid from the transformed cells.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
