Abstract
Amycolatopsis methanolica contains a 13.3-kb plasmid (pMEA300) which i s present both in the free state and integrated at a unique genomic lo cation. A 2.1-kb pMEA300 DNA fragment was sequenced, revealing the put ative attP site and two open reading frames, xis and int, showing simi larity to genes encoding excisionases and integrases, respectively.
