Claims
- 1. A combination of two plasmids for cloning the nucleic acid molecule which encodes the proteins of the biosynthetic pathway of tetracycline, chlortetracycline, 6-demethylchlortetracycline, 6-demethyltetracycline, 7-chloro-5a,11a-dehydrotetracycline or 2-decarboxamido-2-acetyltetracycline, wherein said plasmids have characteristic structures in which one plasmid contains an origin of replication for replication in a host cell, an antibiotic resistance gene that is expressed in an actinomycete and at least three tandem cohesive end sites; and the second plasmid contains an origin of replication for replication in an actinomycete and at least three tandem cohesive end sites.
