Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Microbiology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Development of novel cloning vectors is crucial for advancing genetic engineering and synthetic biology.
  • Existing vectors may have limitations in host range, stability, or transformation efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and characterize a new cloning vector, plasmid pRP9, with enhanced properties for gene cloning applications.
  • To evaluate the transformation efficiency and stability of pRP9 in various bacterial hosts.

Main Methods:

  • Plasmid construction based on the broad host-range plasmid pLM6.
  • Transformation assays in Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus stearothermophilus, and Escherichia coli.
  • Segregational and structural stability tests under selective pressure.

Main Results:

  • Plasmid pRP9 (2.9 kb) was successfully constructed and demonstrated efficient transformation in B. subtilis, B. stearothermophilus, and E. coli.
  • pRP9 exhibited very high segregational stability in Bacillus hosts.
  • High structural stability of pRP9 carrying a 3-kb fragment was observed in Bacillus strains under selective conditions.
  • No aberrant DNA forms (single-stranded or high-molecular weight) of pRP9 were detected in B. stearothermophilus.

Conclusions:

  • Plasmid pRP9 is a small, stable, and efficiently transformable cloning vector suitable for use in B. subtilis, B. stearothermophilus, and E. coli.
  • The developed host/vector systems possess the necessary properties for efficient gene cloning.
  • pRP9 represents a valuable tool for molecular biology research and biotechnological applications.
