Toxin-antitoxin system from lactobacillus plantarum

This is a toxin-antitoxin system originating from plasmid p256 from lactobacillus plantarum strain NC7. It has been created without the natural promotor to allow for customisable strength of the system. The main use of the toxin-antitoxin system is to make the plasmid more stabile without having to rely on antibiotic resistance. The antitoxin has a shorter halflife then the antitoxin. If the cell were to lose the plasmid the toxin will remain longer in the cell and thereby kill it. It has been proven very efficient in previous studies.^[1]

[1] Plasmid p256 from Lactobacillus plantarum represents a new type of replicon in lactic acid bacteria, and contains a toxin–antitoxin-like plasmid maintenance system, Microbiology, Elisabeth Sorvig et al. September 30 2004
