Eviction of the BlaI cassette by single crossover between the two direct repeat unit sequences (repfront and repback) to generate the BS1549S (ΔamyE) strain. The lysine auxotrophy of the BS1549 strain, linked to the presence of the blaI gene (conditional auxotrophy), was used to select the recombinant strain that had excised the BlaI cassette.
