Evaluation of vectors for gene expression in <i>Pseudovibrio</i> marine bacteria.

ABSTRACT: α-Proteobacteria belonging to the Pseudovibrio genus have been isolated from different marine organisms including marine sponges, corals, and algae. This genus was first described in 2004 and has since garnered attention due to the potential ecological relevance and biotechnological application of its metabolites. For instance, we recently reported specialized metabolites that we named pseudovibriamides from Pseudovibrio brasiliensis Ab134. The pseudovibriamide encoding ppp gene cluster is found in two-thirds of Pseudovibrio genomes. Pseudovibriamides coordinate motility and biofilm formation, behaviors that are known to be important for host colonization. Although we previously established reverse genetics methods to delete genes via homologous recombination, n
