Figure Lengend Snippet: ku70 disruption of wild-type M. thermophila ATCC 42464. a Pattern of the ku70 knockout cassette integrating into the chromosomes of M. thermophila ATCC 42464 via ectopic insertion or homologous recombination. b PCR analysis of ku70 deletion transformants with one primer (ku70KO-F) located in the bar gene cassette and the other (ku70KO-R) located in the downstream of 3′ flank in the genomic DNA (expected product of 1872 bp) and c Southern blotting analysis of ku70 mutants with Xho I digested genomic DNA and the probe amplified from the 3′ flank. Lines 1–11 in ( b ) and ( c ), genomic DNA from ku70 mutants (expected product of 5056 bp). WT, genomic DNA from wild-type as negative control (expected product of 1703 bp). Primers are represented by solid black arrows. Abbreviations: gDNA, genomic DNA; RB and LB, right and left border of T-DNA, respectively
Article Snippet: The C1 strain is a patented strain, therefore the ATCC 42464 strain is predominantly used for public research as the general wild-type strain of M. thermophila .
