pMG36ET

This is a plasmid backbone consisting of a modified version of the S. thermophilus expression vector pMG36ET. The multiple cloning site was replaced with the biobrick prefix and suffix. The backbone contains the pWV01 broad-host range origin of replication, making it a suitable shuttle vector for use within E. coli and lactic acid bacteria such as S. thermophilus. The backbone also contains an erythromycin resistance gene as selectable marker.

<p<We were able to transform both E. coli and S. thermophilus with this plasmid, resulting in erythromycin-resistant colonies. By using this plasmid as a shuttle vector, we were able to clone BioBrick constructs in E. coli, and then purify the DNA for transformation of S. thermophilus. We successfully transformed S. thermophilus with an amilCP BioBrick construct in this shuttle vector,confirming that the plasmid is suitable for use in both E. coli and S. thermophilus</p>

The part contains BBa_J04450 as is required by iGEM for submission of plasmid backbones.
