Deletion of larger gene clusters mediated by CCB-CIGE system derived from CRISPR-Cpf1. (A) Scheme showing the composition of the CIGE system for the deletion of larger gene clusters. (B) CIGE-mediated disruption of the sacA gene in the Bacillus subtilis 168 strain. The editing efficiency was 20/20. (C) Identification of bac operon deletion mutants. bac operon is composed of seven genes (bacABCDEFG), about 6688 bp. Ten transformants were selected and verified by colony PCR. M and ck represent the 2-kb DNA ladder and wild-type B. subtilis 168, respectively. (D) Confirmation of pps operon deletion using colony PCR. Lane M, the 5-kb DNA marker from Takara. Lane ck1 and ck2, PCR amplification with the B. subtilis 168 and B. subtilis comK genomic DNA (gDNA) using external primers, respectively. Lane 1-10, PCR amplification with the mutant gDNA using external primer. The editing efficiency was 8/10.
