Characterization of the cryptic plasmid pBGR1 from Bartonella grahamii and construction of a versatile Escherichia coli-Bartonella spp. shuttle cloning vector.

abstract：:The construction of a set of new plasmids that are suitable as general cloning vectors in Escherichia coli and Agrobacterium tumefaciens is described. Plasmid pUCD2 is amplifiable in E. coli, replicates in a wide range of gram-negative hosts and contains a number of useful restriction endonuclear cleavage sites and an...
