Abstract excerpt
The linear plasmids frequently found in plants and filamentous fungi are associated with mitochondria or chloroplasts. In contrast, all the linear plasmids known in yeasts are cytoplasmic elements. From a strain of the yeast Pichia kluyveri, we have isolated a new linear plasmid, pPK2, which was found to be associated with mitochondria. This 7.1 kilobase pairs-long DNA contained only two genes, which code for DNA...
