摘要
Expression in mycobacteria of the structural gene sacB, which encodes the Bacillus subtilislis levansucrase, was investigated. sacB expression is lethal to Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG in the presence of 10% sucrose. sacB could thus be used as a counterselectable marker in mycobacteria.
