Fig 1. Construction of M. smegmatis ΔhadC and ΔhadABC strains by recombineering.

Fig 1

(A) Genetic organization showing the replacement of the hadC gene and hadABC operon by a zeocin resistance cassette (Sh ble) and the primers a, b, c, d used for PCR verification of the constructions. (b+c) primer couple confirms the deletion of the hadC gene (B) and hadABC operon (D). Amplification with the (b+d) and (a+d) primer couples confirms the presence of the zeocin cassette in the ΔhadC (C) and ΔhadABC (E) strains, respectively. PCR was performed on cell lysates: wt (lane 1), ΔhadC (lane 2), ΔhadABC (lanes 3–6) carrying either the plasmid pABC (lane 3) or pAB (lane 4) or pBC (lane 5) or pB (lane 6).
