Abstract:
A series of Bifidobacterium-Escherichia coli shuttle vectors (pKO403-lacZ'-Cm, pKO403-lacZ'-Sp, pKO403-lacZ'-p15A) were constructed based on the pKO403 backbone, which carries a temperature-sensitive replication origin. These vectors carry the lacZ'α fragment, overhung by two facing type IIS restriction sites, for blue-white selection and seamless gene cloning. These vectors are useful for gene knockout or multigene integration into the chromosome of Bifidobacterium.
