| Abstract: | Three restriction enzymes ApaI, SalI and SmaI, among nine enzymes tested, were found to produce distributions of DNA fragments which were useful for analysis of chromosome-sized DNA from thermophilic Campylobacter laridis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. From experiments with C. laridis JCM2530T and four isolates of C. laridis, the size of the genome of C. laridis was calculated to range from 1,590 to 1,700 kb, with a mean of 1,640 kb. An SmaI restriction map was derived by the partial digestion of the DNA from C. laridis JCM2530T. |
