A broad host range cloning vehicle that can be mobilized at high frequency into gram-negative bacteria was constructed from the naturally occurring antibiotic resistance plasmid RK2. The vehicle is 20 kbase pairs in size, encodes tetracycline resistance, and contains 2 single restriction enzyme sites suitable for cloning. Mobilization is effected by a helper plasmid consisting of the RK2 transfer genes linked to a ColE1 replicon. By use of this plasmid vehicle, a gene bank of the DNA from a wild-type strain of R. meliloti was constructed and established in Escherichia coli. One of the hybrid plasmids in the bank contains a DNA insert of approximately 26 kbase pairs which has homology to the nitrogenase structural gene region of Klebsiella pneumoniae.
