Plasmid copy number control offers a versatile tool in synthetic biology applications.

Plasmids are typically regarded as static delivery vehicles for foreign DNA. Here, we expose the pivotal role that plasmid copy number (PCN) control can play in synthetic biology, not only in Escherichia coli but also in the next-generation bacterial workhorse Vibrio natriegens. We show that the antibiotic selection ma...
