Abstract:
A novel cloning vector that can be used to identify recombinant Escherichia coli colonies by activation of the green fluorescent protein gene (GFP) was constructed. Screening using the vector does not require special reagents. The recombinant plasmid activates GFP, and the rate of false-positive results is low.
