All these vectors were kindly provided by Dr. Dan Ziegler, Director of the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center at Ohio State University.

Daniel Goodman 17:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC):I just put this table together, but I have yet to add the plasmid maps to these. For now, to see the maps, go to BGSC homepage and find them in the catalog. They are also in the black Turing Group binder under "ordered vectors and strains".

Integration Vectors

These vectors integrate into the chromosome and do not have a replication origin in Bacillus. They either integrate cassettes that require double crossovers and two homologous regions, or whole-plasmid insertions that only require one crossover and one corresponding region of homology.

Ectopic Integration

The integration site of these is pre-determined

Insert Integration

The user inserts a homologous piece of the Bacillus chromosome and the vector integrates there.

Plasmid Gels

  • We ran these plasmids on gels, using double and single digests, to check them
