S. Koul et al., PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A GLUCOSE DEHYDROGENASE-BEARING PLASMID FROM KETOACID-PRODUCING ERWINIA-HERBICOLA, World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 11(2), 1995, pp. 234-235
Erwinia herbicola (ATCC 21998), a facultative anaerobe, has two plasmi
ds: pVQ1 and pVQ2. Curing with mitomycin C indicated that pVQ2 was cry
ptic but pVQ1, a 7.4-kb plasmid, bears a 4.3 SacI fragment which stron
gly hybridized to the C-terminal region of the glucose dehydrogenase g
ene of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. A restriction map of plasmid pVQ1
is presented.
