Construction of recombinant vectors. (A) Recombinant vector T2ΔbudC for budC knock-out. The vector contained a temperature-sensitive replicon from B. subtilis (194-Ori), Kanamycin-resistant gene (Kan), and the homologous arm A and B for homologous recombination. (B) Recombinant vector of pHYbudC for expression of budC in B. licheniformis. The vector contained budC expression cassette including P43 promoter, the budC gene and the α-amylase gene (amyL) transcription terminator of B. licheniformis WX-02.
