Abstract excerpt
The ability to genetically manipulate bacteria is a staple of modern molecular microbiology. Since the 2000s, marker-less mutants of Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) have been made by allelic exchange predominantly using the kanR-rpsL cassette known as "Janus." The conventional Janus protocol involves two transformation steps using multiple PCR-assembled products containing the Janus cassette and the target gene's...
