Genetic studies of Ochrobactrum anthropi are hindered by the lack of a suitable gene expression system. We constructed a set of vectors containing several promoters and a His tag fusion in the N terminus to facilitate protein detection and purification. The new vectors should significantly enhance the genetic manipulation and characterization of O. anthropi.
