  • Patent number: 6887702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new plasmid originated from (Bifidobacterium) a recombinant expression vector and transformation method using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a plasmid pMG1 having nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ.ID.NO.1; (Bifidobacterium longum) MG1 including the plasmid pMG1; and a shuttle vector which can be replicated in both (Bifidobacterium) and (E. coli), and comprises (Mob) gene having nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ.ID.NO.2. (Rep) gene having nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ.ID.NO.3 and a selection marker. The shuttle vector and the promoter of the present invention can be used for expressing target gene without additional purification process.
