RESUMO
The cryptic Streptococcus cremoris Wg2 plasmid pWV01 (1.5 megadaltons) was genetically marked with the chloramphenicol resistance (Cmr) gene from pC194. The recombinant plasmid (pGK1, 2.4 megadaltons) replicated and expressed Cmr in Bacillus subtilis. From this plasmid an insertion-inactivation vector was constructed by inserting the erythromycin resistance (Emr) gene from pE194 cop-6. This plasmid (pGK12, 2.9 megadaltons) contained a unique BclI site in the Emr gene and unique ClaI and HpaII sites outside both resistance genes. It was stably maintained in B. subtilis at a copy number of approximately 5. pGK12 also transformed Escherichia coli competent cells to Cmr and Emr. The copy number in E. coli was about 60. Moreover, pGK12 transformed protoplasts of Streptococcus lactis. In this host both resistance genes are expressed. pGK12 is stably maintained in S. lactis at a copy number of 3.
