Plasmids available by request to Joe J. Harrison (jjharris@ucalgary.ca).
Plasmids available by request to Herbert Schweizer (hschweizer@ufl.edu).
Sequencing primers used to obtain DNA sequence deposited in Genbank are listed in Table S1.
Orignially named pEX18T.
Destination vectors can be designated either by a ‘pDEST’ prefix or ‘GW’ suffix. Both designations are equivalent and utilized in the literature. Antibiotic selection (E. coli/P. aeruginosa): Ap, ampicillin; Cb, carbenicillin; Cm, chloramphenicol, Gm, gentamicin; Tc, tetracycline. oriT, origin of transfer; sacB, levansucrase; lacZα, α-peptide of β-galactosidase.
