Statistical noise from recombinant plasmids can be abated via complementation of a ribosomal protein gene deletion.

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypes conferred by recombinant plasmids upon host cells often exhibit variability between replicate populations. This statistical noise is mostly a consequence of adaptive evolution in response to fitness burdens imposed by the plasmids themselves. We developed a novel strategy, 'ribosome pegging', to exclude common unwanted mutations that benefit host cells at the expense of heterologous gene...
