Shuttle vector for E. coli and B. subtilis

The shuttle vector of 6,5kb is Ampicillin resistant in E. coli and Erythromycin resistant in B. subtilis. It is a high plasmid copy number in both B. subtilis and E.coli. It has a polylinker containing all 4 of the iGEM sites.


Usage and Biology

It can be used to transform E. coli and Bacillus strains. However, it is highly recommended to amplify the plasmid before transforming a Bacillus strain because the transformation yield is low compared to E. coli.

Functional Parameters

The tests showed that in the NM522 E. coli strain there is bacterial growth in LB media having an Ampicillin concetration up to 1,2 mg/mL. Concerning the 168 B. subtilis strain transformed with this plasmid the maximal concentration of Erythromycin at wich there is bacterial growth is ????

Characterization

Transformation yield

In the NM522 E.coli strain the average yield was 3,3XE06 cells/µg.The transformed cells were selected on LB media supplemented with Ampicillin at a concentration of 100µg/mL.

In the BS168 B.subtilis strain the maximum yield was 70 cells/µg. The transformed cells were selected on LB media supplemented with Erythromycin at a concentration of 15µg/mL.
