Abstract excerpt
We isolated a mutant of plasmid pUB110 that has the following properties in Bacillus subtilis: (i) it is toxic for recA and add cells, particularly at elevated temperature; (ii) it has a copy number threefold higher than that of the parental plasmid, and the extra copies are present as multimers; and (iii) it can efficiently complement replication of a cmp- satellite plasmid, despite being cmp+. All these...
