Mutagenesis by homologous recombination was evaluated in Xylella fastidiosa by using the bga gene, coding for beta-galactosidase, as a model. Integration of replicative plasmids by homologous recombination between the cloned truncated copy of bga and the endogenous gene was produced by one or two crossover events leading to beta-galactosidase mutants. A promoterless chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene was used to monitor the expression of the target gene and to select a cvaB mutant.
通过使用编码β-半乳糖苷酶的bga基因作为模型,评估了在桑黄杆菌中通过同源重组进行的诱变。通过克隆的bga截短拷贝与内源基因之间的同源重组,复制质粒的整合是由一到两个交叉事件产生的,从而导致β-半乳糖苷酶突变体。使用无启动子的氯霉素乙酰转移酶基因来监测靶基因的表达并选择cvaB突变体。
