The corynebacteria seem to be the most suitable microorganisms for cloning genes involved in the production of amino acids, nucleotides, and other products of industrial interest. A plasmid, pCC1, from Corynebacterium callunae has been found with a size of 4.3 kb. A physical map obtained with restri

β¦ Synopsis
Covalently closed circular DNA was isolated from a strain of Streptomyces coelicolor ATCC 10147 and from a strain of Streptomyces coelicolor subspecies flavus ATCC 19894, using two different methods. The two plasmids were of uniform monomer size: 8.9 kb for pS 10147, the plasmid from S. coelicolor ATCC 10147, and around 125 kb for the plasmid from S. coelicolor ATCC 19894. A restriction enzyme map was constructed for pS 10147, using seven enzymes. Four of the enzymes, (BamHI, Bgl,II, PvuII, and XhoI) cut pS 10147 once while PstI made two cuts. The GC content of this plasmid was calculated to be 72%. The possible utilisation of pS 10147 as a cloning vector in Streptomyces is discussed.

The antibiotic resistance plasmid R1drd19Km- which has spontaneously lost its kanamycin resistance marker, and its derivative pON5300, were analysed using the restriction endonucleases SalI, BamHI, HindIII and EcoRI. The fragment patterns were compared with that of the R1drd19 and the fragments resp
A method for the extraction of the high molecular weight plasmid AO 1 from the gram-positive soil bacterium Arthrobacter oxidans is presented. Following digestion of this DNA with the restriction endonucleases AccI, Bam HI, Eco RI and Hind III, an average molecular mass of 157.8 kb was estimated. T
