✦ Synopsis


The streptococcal plasmid ERL1 determining inducible resistance to erythromycin, lincomycin, and staphylomycin S was isolated by dye-buoyant density centrifugation and shown to have a molecular weight of about 17.5 Mdal, as revealed by sedimentation through neutral sucrose gradients. In SM60 cells entering the stationary phase its covalently closed circular form was present to the extent of 5 copies per chromosomal genome equivalent, ERL1 was subject to the DNA restriction and modification mechanism discovered in strain 56188. It did not appear to exercise restriction of phage DNA but mediated a partial release of the restricted growth of A25.

Specialized transducing lambda phages, 2 oriR1, harboring DNA from the resistance plasmid Rldrd-19 and its copy mutant pKN103 were isolated. From measurements of CCC-DNA content it is concluded that upon infection the phages can establish themselves as self-replicating plasmids in recA hosts lysogen
