Abstract:We have developed several strain-specific, rapid, small-scale plasmid isolation procedures in order to characterize the plasmid profiles of 16 filamentous, nonheterocstous cyanobacteria. At least one distinct plasmid was found in eight strains, with seven of these containing two or more different plasmids. Eight strains were found to be without plasmid DNA. Both the large, 12.9 kb, and the small, 1.6 kb, plasmids fromPlectonema boryanum 581 were isolated, purified, and cloned. Southern blots of plasmid DNAs from the eight strains were probed with these cloned DNAs and also with ultra-pure plasmid DNA fromPhormidium liridum 426. Four strains ofP. boryanum (485, 581, 594, 1542) andP. luridum 426 have identical plasmid profiles, and plasmid homology is extensive.
