Depositor Comments

Despite multiple attempts, we could never clone the cat gene in pSEVA3b61 in the opposite orientation. We concluded that the cat promoter was not sufficient for chloramphenicol resistance in E. coli; rather, the gene was relying on read-through from the upstream repB promoter. We tried several variants extending the cmR promoter region without success. It is important to note that the cat gene works just fine in B. subtilis in either orientation. We found the following paper useful for background reading on this particular cat gene: Olson, D. G., & Lynd, L. R. (2012).
