Abstract: | A genetic and physical map of Escherichia coli plasmid R538-1 was constructed using restriction endonucleases and molecular cloning techniques. R538-1 DNA was cleaved into 12 fragments by endonuclease · R · EcoRI, 6 fragments by endonuclease R · HindIII, and 3 fragments by endonuclease R · BamHI. The order of these fragments was determined by standard restriction fragment mapping techniques. Endo · R · EcoRI, endo · R · HindIII, endo · R · BamHI, and endo · R · PstI fragments obtained from R538-1 and ColE1-derived plasmids (pMB9, ColE1Apr, and pBR322) were ligated in vitro and used to transform E. coli C600. Transformants were selected for antibiotic resistance markers carried by R538-1. Analysis of the R538-1 fragments contained in these hybrid plasmids permitted the construction of a genetic map of the R538-1 plasmid. The genetic map of this plasmid is very similar to that of plasmid R100. |
