DSM No.:
8830 dsm-8830 dsm8830 dsm 8830 pGEc47
History:
<- J. van Beilen, ETH Zürich
Remarks:
The alkBFGHJKL genes and alkST genes have been cloned into the broad host range vector pLAFR1. Orientation of the alkR sequence reversed in comparison with pGEc41. pGEc47 and pGEc41 resemble the wild-type Alk phenotype of the OCT plasmid. pGEc47 endowed P. putida with a wild-type Alk phenotype implying that no other functions encoded by the OCT plasmid are required for alkane utilization. The cloned alk genes are covered by U.S. patent 5,173,428. For further information see pGEc41.
