Abstract

The transposon derivative has been placed on a transposition suicide vector to yield pDB30 in Escherichia coli WA803. A simple method, using a Tn5 derivative Tn5-Lux, has been successfully devised for the introduction and stable expression of the bioluminescence property in Pseudomonas sp., Agrobacterium sp., and Rhizobium sp. In this study, there was also successful mating between Escherichia coli WA803(pDB30) and strains of Acromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides. These bacteria emitted bioluminescence after they gained pDB30 by transconjugation.
