Abstract excerpt
We studied the segregational stability of plasmids based on pTB913, a 4.5-kb rolling-circle plasmid derived from the thermophilic Bacillus plasmid pTB19. In Bacillus stearothermophilus the stability of pTB913 derivatives appeared to be strain-dependent. In strain CU21 large amounts of single-stranded pTB913 DNA were found and the plasmid was highly unstable at 57 degrees C. In strain NUB3621, however, very low...
