Abstract

A fragment of λ phage DNA containing terminator of transcription (t0) and terminal part of the oop-RNA gene was inserted into the polylinker area of M13 mp8 filamentous phage. The obtained phage was used to clone a BglII fragment of pJC703 cosmid, containing E. coli genes rpIJ, rpIL and rpoB together with promoters PJ and Pβ. Stability of the obtained mp8t /rpoB recombinant phages increased up to 93 % and an orientation of the cloned BglII-fragment opposite to the previously observed one became possible.
