Abstract:Background
Seamless modification of bacterial chromosomes is widely performed in both theoretical and practical research. For this purpose, excellent counter‐selection marker genes with high stringency are needed.
Main Methods and Major Results
The lysis gene E was first constructed under the control of the PL promoter and the cI857 repressor. At 42°C, it could effectively kill Escherichia coli and seamless modification in this bacterium using E as a counter‐selection marker was successfully conducted. It also… Show more
