Construction of a broad-host-range Tn7-based vector for single-copy P(BAD)-controlled gene expression in gram-negative bacteria.

ABSTRACT: We describe a mini-Tn7-based broad-host-range expression cassette for arabinose-inducible gene expression from the P(BAD) promoter. This delivery vector, pTJ1, can integrate a single copy of a gene into the chromosome of Gram-negative bacteria for diverse genetic applications, of which several are discussed, using Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the model host.
