Abstract excerpt
The presence of a multicopy chromosome, with each copy containing two rRNA operons (rrnA and rrnB), has been an obstacle to analysing mutated rRNA in Synechococcus PCC 7942. To create a system for expressing homogeneous mutated rRNA, the chromosomal rrn operons were sequentially inactivated and a final strain was successfully obtained with all the chromosomal rrn operons inactivated but carrying a replaceable...
