Résumé
This protocol uses conditional plasmids carrying the open reading frame (orf) of either superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) or monomeric Cherry (mCherry) fused to a flippase (Flp) recognition target (FRT) site. In cells expressing the Flp enzyme, site-specific recombination between the plasmid-borne FRT and an FRT "scar" in a target gene in the bacterial chromosome results in chromosomal integration of the plasmid with the concomitant in-frame fusion of the target gene to the fluorescent protein orf. This event can be positively selected using an antibiotic-resistance marker (
