Molecular characterization of an aberrant mercury resistance transposable element from an environmental Acinetobacter strain.

abstract：:Expression vectors for industrial production should be stable and allow tight control of protein synthesis. This is necessary to ensure plasmid transmission to daughter cells in order to achieve a stable population capable of synthesizing high amounts of the target protein. A high-copy-number plasmid, pAE, was previou...
