Abstract excerpt
Mycobacteria contain a large number of redundant genes whose functions are difficult to analyze in mutants, because there are only two efficient resistance markers available for allelic exchange experiments. We have established a system based on the Flp recombinase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use in the nonpathogenic model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis. This system consists of a hygromycin...
