Construction of an Expressible BAC Library of the Unculturable Insect Microorganism, Stink Bug Plautia stali Symbiont, for the Search of Biologically Active and Useful Symbiont Products

While gene products and metabolites of insect symbiotic bacteria may act as useful resources for insect-microbe studies and medicinal use, it is usually difficult to obtain the insect symbionts to some extent in quantity because most of them are unculturable. In this study, the possibility of using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries
