We developed a generic method for high-throughput cloning in bacteria that are less amenable to conventional DNA manipulations. The method involves ligation-independent cloning in an intermediary Escherichia coli vector, which is rapidly converted via vector-backbone exchange (VBEx) into an organism-specific plasmid ready for high-efficiency transformation. We demonstrated VBEx proof of principle for Lactococcus lactis, but the method can be adapted to all organisms for which plasmids are available.
我们开发了一种用于在不太适合常规DNA操作的细菌中进行高通量克隆的通用方法。该方法包括在中间大肠杆菌载体中进行不依赖连接的克隆,通过载体骨架交换(VBEx)将其快速转化为适合高效转化的特定生物体的质粒。我们展示了乳酸乳球菌的VBEx原理证明,但该方法可适用于所有有可用质粒的生物体。
