---+ Bee Microbiome Toolkit

The Bee Microbiome Toolkit (BTK) is a Golden-Gate compatible toolkit of genetic parts designed for working with newly isolated, non-model bacteria. Like in the [[http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/sb500366v][yeast toolkit]], type IIS enzymatic assembly of parts with defined overhangs create complete vectors. Plasmid elements— promoters, coding sequences, antibiotic resistance genes— can be independently replaced. The toolkit includes broad-host-range promoters and a broad-host-range plasmid backbone that replicates in diverse Gram-negative and Gram-positive hosts. BTK plasmids possess an origin of transfer (oriT) and can be delivered by conjugation or electroporation. Here we describe example protocols and use cases of the BTK. BTK parts will soon be available from Addgene. If you use the BTK parts or these protocols in your work, please cite: 1.	Leonard, S. P. et al.

---+ BTK Protocols

[[Protocols BTK Design a new part][Design a new part]] Design overhangs for the amplification of a new custom part to be assembled into a part plasmid.

[[Protocols BTK Make a new part plasmid][Assemble a new part plasmid]] Assemble a new custom part plasmid following amplification with part specific overhangs.

[[Protocols BTK Assemble single TU plasmid][Build a first-stage plasmid from existing BTK parts]] If the BTK contains all the parts you need, you can build a complete plasmid with a single BsaI reaction.

[[Protocols BTK Assemble multiple TU plasmid][Build a second-stage plasmid]] Assemble multiple first-stage transcriptional unit plasmids.

[[Protocols BTK CRISPRi gene suppression][Build a plasmid for CRISPRi gene suppression]]

[[Protocols BTK gene disruption][Build a plasmid for disruption or knockout of bacterial genes]]

[[ProtocolsConjugation][Deliver plasmids via conjugation into new hosts]]
