Abstract excerpt
The six plasmids of Rhizobium leguminosarum VF39SM comprise nearly 35% of the bacterium's genome and are all repABC replicons. The repABC operons of the three largest plasmids of VF39SM were found to have strong incompatibility determinants in the non-protein coding regions. However, in all three repABC operons, the intergenic region between repB and repC was the strongest incompatibility factor; this intergenic...
