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 instability of the recombinant plasmid pDS212, whose maintenance in the parental strain is known to be due to pZMO2...
