Abstract
The present invention relates to a DNA derived from microorganisms of the genus Rhodococcus and conferring kanamycin resistance on hosts with a DNA sequence coding for the amino acid sequence of Sequence No. 1 or a polypeptide containing a partial sequence thereof. The kanamycin resistance gene of the present invention is useful to construct vectors for microorganisms of the genus Rhodococcus, particularly vectors for self-cloning of Rhodococcus rhodochrous.
