pJP1 plasmid in Bacillus sphaericus

67080

This clone contains the complete coding sequence (nt 245-1414 of Genbank M15686) of the gene lysostaphin from Staphylococcus simulans. It was constructed by excising the insert of pRG5 (ATCC 67076) with an EcoRI/HindIII digest, and blunt-ending the vector and insert with the Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase before ligation.

Handling information

Host
Bacillus sphaericus
Medium
Handling procedure
  1. Open vial according to instructions.
  2. Asceptically add 0.3 to 0.4 mL of liquid medium to the freeze-dried pellet and mix well.  Transfer 100 µL to a test tube containing 5 mLVY Medium (*see below) + erythromycin (5 µg/mL). A loopful of culture can also be streaked on an agar plate of the same. Incubate cultures at 30°C.
  3. Isolate DNA using standard plasmid preparation procedures for Bacillus sp.
Handling notes
Restriction digests of the clone gave the following sizes (in kb): EcoRI/HindIII – 8.0 ; PstI – uncut ; Sph – 8.9.
