PRIMER SET AND METHOD FOR HOMOLOGOUS RECOMBINATION

摘要

The objective of the present invention is to provide a primer set used in transformation imparting uracil-requiring properties by deleting or destroying the gene coding for orotidine-5-phosphate decarboxylase in a Moorella bacteria. The objective was resolved by means of a primer set that is used when producing a uracil-requiring strain of which the gene coding for orotidine-5-phosphate decarboxylase has been deleted or destroyed by means of homologous recombination in a Moorella bacteria, and that is characterized by being represented by sequence number 1 and sequence number 2, which amplify the upstream region neighboring the gene coding for orotidine-5-phosphate decarboxylase.
