Abstract

A phage lambda cloning vector has been constructed which contains a single site for the restriction endonuclease BamHI. Since Sau3A and Bg/II produce the same cohesive ends as BamHI, this vector can also be used to clone DNA fragments generated with either of these enzymes. We have used this vector to construct an Escherichia coli library using partial digestion with Sau3A. This vector will be most useful for applications requiring genetic analysis of cloned E. coli genes.
