Codon-improved fluorescent proteins in investigation of Staphylococcus aureus host pathogen interactions.

Abstract:

:Here we present the use of three fluorescent proteins in Staphylococcus aureus, Cerulean, PA-GFP, and mRFPmars. All molecules have an improved codon adaptation for expression in the A + T rich organisms and extend the fluorescent protein portfolio in staphylococcal research.
