Using lambda phage Red recombinase mediated in vivo homologous recombination system, a 6.7 kb lambda PL operon sequence including the Red encoding genes was subcloned into pBR322 by gap repair technique, and generated a pBR322-Red recombinant plasmid that can provide the Red recombination function and can be transferred into many kinds of bacteria. To confirm the recombination functions of pBR322-Red, a single-stranded 70-bases oligo was introduced into W3110 by electroporation to create a single base T-->G mutation in galK gene on the bacterial chromosome. The result demonstrated that a new lambda Red-mediated recombineering system based on pBR322-Red was successfully established.
