An Escherichia coli-Zymomonas mobilis shuttle vector was constructed from a 15.5 kb native plasmid of ZM6100 and the E. coli plasmid, pBR329. Integrative transfer of this shuttle vector from E. coli to Z. mobilis was achieved with the aid of the mobilizing plasmid, pRK2013. The shuttle vector was stable in Z. mobilis for at least 300 generations without antibiotic selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
