Bacteriophage lambda as a delivery vector for Tn10-derived transposons in Xenorhandus bovienii

Xenorhabdus bovienii wild-type strains lack a functional receptor protein (LamB) in the outer membrane and, consequently, are unable to adsorb coliphage lambda. The introduction of plasmids encoding LamB into X. bovienii T228 results in constitutive expression of LamB in the outer membrane of the or...

Description
Summary:Xenorhabdus bovienii wild-type strains lack a functional receptor protein (LamB) in the outer membrane and, consequently, are unable to adsorb coliphage lambda. The introduction of plasmids encoding LamB into X. bovienii T228 results in constitutive expression of LamB in the outer membrane of the organism.
