Abstract excerpt
We have developed an efficient and precise method for genome manipulations in Bacillus subtilis that allows rapid alteration of gene sequence or multiple gene sequences without altering the chromosome in any other way. In our approach, the Escherichia coli toxin gene mazF, which was used as a counter-selectable marker, was placed under the control of a xylose-inducible expression system and associated with an...
