Abstract excerpt
alpha-Complementation is the restoration of beta-galactosidase (beta-Gal) activity to a lacZ mutant via expression of a differentially altered mutant. Here we report the development of an alpha-complementation system for the mycobacteria. Mycobacterium smegmatis alpha-acceptor strains were constructed employing both a novel lacZ alpha-acceptor allele, termed lacZDeltaPvuII, and the widely exploited alpha-acceptor...
