To facilitate the genetic engineering of diverse cyanobacterial strains, we have modified broad-host-range RSF1010-based plasmids to improve transmissibility, increase copy number, and facilitate cloning. RSF1010-based plasmids replicate in diverse bacterial strains but produce low amounts of useable DNA for cloning. We previously engineered a mobAY25F mutation in RSF1010-based plasmids that improved cloning but decreased conjugation efficiency. Here, we engineered RSF1010-based plasmids to restore conjugation efficiency, which was demonstrated in three diverse laboratory strains of cyanobacteria. We then used an improved RSF1010-based plasmid in mating experiments with cultured samples of wild cyanobacteria. This plasmid, which confers antibiotic resistance and carries a yfp reporter gene, allowed selection of exconjugant cyanobacteria and facilitated the isolation of genetically tractable strains from mixed wild cultures. Improved RSF1010 vectors can be used for bio-prospecting genetically tractable strains and are compatible with the CYANO-VECTOR cloning system, a versatile toolbox for constructing plasmids for cyanobacterial genetic engineering.
