Aminoglycoside antibiotic G418 can inhibit the growth of P. membranefaciens. Theminimal inhibitory concentration of G418 to P. membranefaciens in YPD medium was 100g mL-1. We constructed aphosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) promoter-driven neoR expression cassette, which was called pFL61-neo. The biocontrolyeast P. membranefaciens was transformed with pFL61-neo by lithium acetate method. Expression vector pFL61-neoconferred P. membranefaciens drug resistance to 100g mL-1 G418. The transformant could keep a high percentage ofplasmid-containing of transformant with 67.87% after 50 generations in non-selective medium. The result showed that P.membranefaciens could recognize the promoter and terminator of PGK and direct the expression of heterologous neoRgene. Expression vector pFL61-neo could exist stably in P. membranefaciens. Therefore, it is feasible to utilize G418-resistance as a dominant selectable marker for heterogenous gene expression in antagonist P. membranefaciens.展开更多
