Abstract excerpt
The gram-negative, purple nonsulfur, facultative photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus is a widely used model organism and has well-developed molecular genetics. In particular, interposon mutagenesis using selectable gene cartridges is frequently employed for construction of a variety of chromosomal knockout mutants. However, as the gene cartridges are often derived from antibiotic resistance-conferring...
