ABSTRACT:
Improved cloning vectors derived from pRO1614 are described. One of these vectors, pRO1727, is suitable for cloning using DNA cleaved with the restriction endonuclease, PstI, and allows selection for the recovery of recombinant plasmids using tetracycline resistance. The cloning efficiency observed for pRO1727 is higher than described previously for pRO1614 and the host range of this vector is now restricted to Pseudomonas bacteria. Another vector, designated pRO1729, is described and developed from pRO1727 by deletion of a portion of its DNA and incorporation of a segment of DNA which encodes for resistance to the antibiotic, chloramphenicol. The chloramphenicol resistance determinant has a cleavage site for restriction endonuclease EcoRI within its chloramphenicol resistance determinant. Thus, DNA cloned into this site results in the loss of chloramphenicol resistance which can be detected subsequent to a cloning experiment. Both pRO1727 and pRO1729 are more useful in Pseudomonas for cloning than pRO1614.
