Abstract
A method for the extraction of the high molecular weight plasmid AO 1 from the gram-positive soil bacterium Arthrobacter oxidans is presented. Following digestion of this DNA with the restriction endonucleases AccI, Bam HI, Eco RI and Hind III, an average molecular mass of 157.8 kb was estimated. This value is in good agreement with the 160 kb size determined previously by electron microscopy (Brandsch et al. 1982). Using the same method, no plasmid DNA was found in strains of the genus Arthrobacter which do not degrade nicotine, e.g., A. albidus, A. globiformis and A. auricans.Entities:
