title: Two novel transposon delivery vectors based on mariner transposon for random mutagenesis of Bacillus thuringiensis.
abstract: Two new mariner transposon delivery vector systems, pMarA333 and pMarB333, had been constructed to randomly mutagenize Bacillus thuringiensis in vivo. The results showed that both systems could randomly insert into the genome of B. thuringiensis YBT881 (CCAM 020673). These systems could have potential for further construction of mutant libraries of B. thuringiensis and other Bacillus strains.
