Abstract excerpt
We previously used a mycobacteriophage L5-derived integrating vector to demonstrate that glnE and aroK are essential genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by showing that we were unable to excise the integrated vector when it carried the only functional copy of these genes. We tested three systems to replace the integrated copy with alternative alleles. The most efficient method was to transform the strain with a...
