Abstract:
The Lactobacillus casei gene for dihydrofolate reductase has been cloned in Escherichia coli using the multicopy vector pBR322. A restriction map of the cloned DNA has been prepared. The cloned DNA directs the synthesis of L. casei dihydrofolate reductase in E. coli and confers trimethoprim and methotrexate resistance.
