Rapid generation of directed and unmarked deletions in Xanthomonas.

We have devised a rapid four-step procedure for the generation of directed and unmarked chromosomal deletions in bacteria, based on the use of a novel cloning vector containing the Bacillus subtilis sacB gene that encodes levansucrase and confers sucrose sensitivity, which can be used for counter-selection. Using this technique, we describe the construction of a 6.5 kb directed and unmarked deletion in a phytopathogenicity region of the chromosome in Xanthomonas campestris. This procedure allows rapid and easy transfer of a wide variety of mutant allelic DNA to the bacterial chromosome, and should be adaptable to various bacteria besides Xanthomonas spp.[1]
