[Cloning the asd and lysC genes from Cornyebacterium glutamicum]

Plasmids carrying an asd gene from a mutant. S-(2-aminoaethyl)-L-cysteine resistant strain of Corynebacterium glutamicum were selected from a clonoteque constructed on a plasmid cloning vector pSL5 by complementation of asd mutation in Escherichia coli. Evidence has been obtained that the cloned chromosomal DNA fragment contains also a complete sequence for feed-back-resistant aspartokinase lysC gene.
