Dear Jim:
From my experience, you have two options. You could try
mating your construct into your recipient via conjugation from an r-m-
strain of E. coli. This would tell you whether you have a restriction
problem or a transformation problem. A second approach entails
isolating a restriction minus strain of your recipient. We did this with
Legionella and it is relatively easy. If you would like details, please
contact me at mintz at cnj.digex.com.
I hope this helps.
