Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces rochei 7434AN4 carries three linear plasmids, pSLA2-L (211 kb), pSLA2-M (113 kb) and pSLA2-S (18 kb), their complete nucleotide sequences having been determined. Restriction and sequencing analysis revealed that the telomere sequences at both ends of the linear chromosome are identical to each other, are 98.5% identical to the right end sequences of pSLA2-L and pSLA2-M up to 3.1 kb from the ends and...
