Highlights
• We have made the templates with flanking sequences of Magnetosome Forming Operons (MFO) for homologous recombination. The templates were successfully integrated into Azotobacter vinelandii genome and successfully expressed.
• The insertion kit has been made as a biobrick BBa_K1648006. Also, GFP-nanobody gene has been added to Insertion Kit for characterization of it. Other teams who are working with magnetosome could employ the present Insertion Kit to express various proteins on magnetosome!
