Abstract: Objective To construct the plasmid for YPD1 knockout in Candida albicans.Methods The gene YPD1 of Candida albicnas was cloned in pBluescript II/SK+.The marker gene URA3 from plasmid p5921 was inserted into the YPD1 by restriction enzyme.Results The vector plasmid pBluescript-YPD1 and knockout plasmid pBluescript-YPD1-URA3 were successfully constructed.Conclusions The plasmid pBluescript-YPD1-URA3 is helpful for homologous recombination knockout of YPD1 in Candida albicans.
