Figure 1

(A) The dif-lacI dif cassette is shown with the dif sites as black and white squares. It was inserted at chosen loci of a Δ(xerC)Δ(dif)Δ(lacI) strain. Transformation with the XerC-producing plasmid pFC241 allows recombination, giving rise to blue colonies on indicator medium (right). (B) Map of the chromosome with the insertion loci used for insertion of the dif-lacI dif or parS-Kn cassettes. The replication origin (closed circle) and replication terminators (black flags) are indicated. Coordinates are in Kb.
