Construction of superfolder green fluorescence protein (sfGFP) insertion in sacA. (A) Scheme showing the procedures for gene insertion into Bacillus subtilis 168 by AIO system. (B) cPCR results shown that 9% (lane 5 and lane 11) of colonies had the sfGFP insertion mutant. (C) Scheme showing the procedures for gene insertion into B. subtilis 168 by CCB-CIGE system. (D) CIGE enables highly efficient sfGFP insertion mutation in the B. subtilis 168 strain. The sacA gene was replaced by the sfgfp gene. The efficiency for sfgfp gene insertion was 17/23 in the B. subtilis 168 strain. Prolonged incubation time under selective pressure increased the mutation efficiency to 82%.
