Identification of a potential membrane-targeting region of the replication initiator protein (TrfA) of broad-host-range plasmid RK2.

abstract：:A new plasmid, pNQ116, was constructed in Bacillus sphaericus by cloning a promoter fragment from B. sphaericus Ts-1 into pNQ112. The plasmid (CmrKmr, 5.23 kb) contains a restriction endonuclease polylinker used for cloning foreign genes, and its cat-86 gene is expressed at high levels from the Ts-1 promoter. This pla...
