Newly-isolated marine methanogen harbors a small cryptic plasmid

Journal Article · · J. Bacteriol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5688118
Of 26 recently isolated strains of methanococci, one was found to harbor a small, cryptic, low copy number plasmid. Reproducible recovery was achieved using a modified alkaline lysis procedure. The plasmid was found to contain a single AvaI site. No homology was detected between the plasmid and DNA from any of the other new strains or from Methanococcus voltae. 10 references, 3 figures.
