Dual-Plasmid Mini-Tn5 System to Stably Integrate Multicopy of Target Genes in Escherichia coli

The efficiency of valuable metabolite production by engineered microorganisms underscores the importance of stable and controllable gene expression. While plasmid-based methods offer flexibility, integrating genes into host chromosomes can establish stability without selection pressure. However, achieving site-directed multicopy integration presents challenges, including site selection and stability. We introduced a stable multicopy integration method by using a novel dual-plasmid mini-Tn5 system to insert genes into
