The CRISPR-Cas12a system is functional in Amycolatopsis sp. CCTCC NO: M2011265. (A) Structure of the pULcrRNAkm-Cas12a plasmid. Cas12a: Cas12a from Francisella novicida, driven by the constitutive promotor Pkm; crRNA: the crRNA expression cassette driven by the constitutive promotor Phsp60; pA-rep: the replicon used in CCTCC NO: M2011265; ColE1: the replicon used in E. coli; and Apr: apramycin resistance gene. (B) Effects of Cas gene expression on the growth of CCTCC NO: M2011265 determined by OD600 measurement. Error bars (mean ± SD) were derived from triplicate samples. (C) Number of transformant colonies obtained with plasmid pULΔvdh (vdh guide sequence inserted in pULcrRNAkm-Cas12a) and control plasmid pULcrRNA-km-Cas12a (no vdh guide sequence). The data were obtained from three independent transformation experiments.
