(A) An overview of the strategy used to fuse a hyg-Pzear fragment amplified from the Pzear-GzMetE strain with the 5' flanking region and partial sequence of the ACS2 gene to provide a final construct that was introduced into an ACL2 deletion mutant. Southern blot hybridization assays confirmed that the wild-type strain, GZ03639 (lane 1), migrated as a 3.8 kb fragment, while the positive mutant clones (lanes 2 and 3) migrated as 5.9 kb bands.
