Vectors
- This vector constitutively expresses GFP using the Pupp promoter:
=
- This is the shuttle vector from last year
- New integration vector for high level, constitutive expression of cloned inserts
- From Bacillus Genetic Stock Center: Dr. Brian Jester of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland has kindly donated a novel vector, pBCJ164.3, to our collection. The plasmid contains the 5' and 3' ends of the Bacillus subtilis rpsD gene, together with its promoter and transcription terminator. An NdeI site within this cassette allows for inserted fragments to be placed under the control of the strong rpsD promoter. Like other integration vectors, pBCJ164.3 replicates in E. coli but not in B. subtilis. When a recombinant plasmid is isolated from E. coli and transformed into a recombination-proficient B. subtilis host with selection for chloramphenicol resistance, a non-mutagenic Campbell-type insertion even should take place within the host chromosomal rpsD locus.
