Abstract

Recombinant chimeric plasmid constructed with Xba I digested pUBl10 and -pE194 was transformed by polyethylene glycol induced protoplast transformation system into Bacillus subtilis BR 151 on the mannitol regeneration media, and two genes of antibiotics resistance were expressed simultaneously in the transfromant. Transformation frequency of the recombinant plasmid was 6.5 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ on the mannitol regeneration agar plate containing neomycin and erythromycin. The replication of recombinant plasmid in the recipient cells was confirmed by the alkaline extraction method and agarose gel electrophoresis.

Mannitol hypertonic regeneration media를 사용하는 PEG-induced protoplast transformation system을 이용해서 pUB110과 pE194의 recombinant plasmid로 B. subtilis BR151을 transformation 시킴으로써 두 plasmid에서 유래되는 각각의 Neo$^{R}$와 Em$^{R}$을 동일한 recipient cell 내에서 동시에 발현시킬 수 있었다. Neomycin과 erythromycin을 함께 함유하는 mannitol regeneration media상에서 recombinant plasmid의 transformation frequency는 6.5 $\times$ $10^{-5}$이었다. 한편 transformant cell 내에서 recombinant plasmid의 replication이 agarose gel electrophoresis로 확인되었다.
