E. coli Strain Modifications

How can Red/ET Recombination help you to optimize E. coli strains?

Escherichia coli is frequently used as model organism and functions as microbial factory in biotechnology. Recombination with Red/ET enables a defined and rapid access to chromosomal modifications:

• Gene disruption, deletion, insertion, modification
• Reporter gene or tag integration
• Promoter fine tuning

Use the modular system of our Red/ET Recombination kits and functional cassettes to prepare optimized E. coli strains or use our service facility in Heidelberg, Germany.

Markerless knock-out of E. coli genes
In combination with Flp/Cre technology multiple markerless genome modifications can be achieved.
