FC(Flocculation gene, CP25 and CDS7)show sequence

The flocculation gene was successfully cloned from Bacillussp. F2.

While CP25 and CDS7 and the backbone sequence adjacent to them was synthesized by BGI Tech.And they are inserted in pMV.

We also used SOE PCR to splice flocculation gene and the rest ones.
