Abstract

A shuttle vector autonomously replicable in bacteria belonging to the genera Gluconobacter and Escherichia is constructed from an endogenous plasmid of Gluconobacter oxydans IF03171 strain, which has a size of about 5.6 kb, or a part thereof, and a plasmid autonomously replicable in bacteria belonging to the genus Escherichia or a part thereof. The present invention provides a novel plasmid useful for gene manipulation of Gluconobacter bacteria, and a shuttle vector utilizing the plasmid.
