Abstract excerpt

Plasmid pZMO2, a 1.9-kb natural plasmid of Zymomonas mobilis strain ATCC 10988, was found to be absent from the extract of a mutant isolate sensitive to ultraviolet irradiation, methyl methanesulfonic acid, and mitomycin C. This mutant, named uvs51, also exhibited extremely high segregational ins...
