The
ccdC sequence of FZB42 and its flanking regions were amplified with the primers szz38, szz39, and PrimeSTAR
® Max DNA Polymerase (Takara, Maebashi, Japan). The PCR product was added to a -A-tail using Taq DNA polymerase and then inserted into the commercial pMD-19 vector, resulting in the plasmid pMD-19-
ccdC, which was named pSZZ11. The restriction endonuclease
Nru I (Takara, Maebashi, Japan) was used to cut pSZZ11. The primers szz46 +
Nru I and szz47 +
Nru I were used to amplify the
speR gene from pFB103. The
speR gene was also cut by
Nru I and then ligated to the pSZZ11 enzyme digestion product, yielding pSZZ17 (pMD-19-
ccdC-
speR), which was transformed into FZB42 as described previously. The transformants were verified with the primers szz01 and szz02, and the resulting strain was named SZZ15, the
ccdC knockout strain.
The
ccdC sequence of FZB42 and its flanking regions were amplified with the primers szz44 +
Kpn I,
szz45 +
Cla I, and PrimeSTAR
® Max DNA Polymerase (Takara, Maebashi, Japan). The PCR product and plasmid pFB01 [65 (
link)] were both cut with
Cla I and then ligated to obtain pSZZ13 (pFB01-
ccdC), which was transformed into FZB42 as described previously. The transformants were verified correctly with the primers FBO550 and FBO16, which were named SZZ18, the
ccdC complement strain.
