All these vectors were kindly provided by Dr. Dan Ziegler, Director of the Bacillus Genetic Stock Center at Ohio State University.

Integration Vectors

These vectors integrate into the chromosome and do not have a replication origin in Bacillus. They either integrate cassettes that require double crossovers and two homologous regions, or whole-plasmid insertions that only require one crossover and one corresponding region of homology.

Ectopic Integration

The integration site of these is pre-determined
