Abstract
Corynebacterium renale exhibits cephaloridine resistance and lactose m etabolism, a phenotype uncommon in corynebacteria. This strain possess es several small plasmids. However when these were eliminated, the cur ed strain still expressed the parent phenotype. Thus cephaloridine res istance and lactose metabolism are not plasmid-associated in C. renale .
