Repetition, conservation, and variation: the multiple cp32 plasmids of Borrelia species.

Journal of molecular microbiology and biotechnology - 1 Oct 2000

Stevenson B, Zückert W R, Akins D R

Abstract excerpt

Members of the spirochete genus Borrelia contain large numbers of extrachromosomal DNAs. Sequence analysis of the B. burgdorferi strain B31 genome indicated that its many plasmids contain large quantities of repeated sequences, the most obvious of which are the cp32 plasmid family. Individual spirochetes may carry nine or more different, but homologous, cp32 plasmids. Every other species of Borrelia examined thus...
