Cloning Vector Help !

[Richard C. Ogden]

HELP !!

       I am attempting to clone a gene from a Pseudomonad bacterial 
strain. Other anologues of the gene have been studied and it is reported 
to suffer deletion events and possible toxicity problems in high copy 
number vectors, such as pUC. They seem reasonably happy in pBR322 
derivatives or low copy number vectors such pKT230.

       The problem is pKT230 is not very nice to work with and I need a 
SmaI site in the vector, ruling out pBR322. Could anyone recommend a 
possible vector and a supplier ? Any help would be much appreciated !


                                       Cheers

                                              Richard
