Title: Methods for targetted mutagenesis in gram-positive bacteria

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1132802

The present invention provides a method of targeted mutagenesis in Gram-positive bacteria. In particular, the present invention provides a method that effectively integrates a suicide integrative vector into a target gene in the chromosome of a Gram-positive bacterium, resulting in inactivation of the target gene.
