Abstract excerpt
Various strains of Bacillus subtilis (natto) contain small cryptic plasmids that replicate via the rolling-circle mechanism. Like plasmids from other Gram-positive bacteria, these plasmids are composed of several distinct structural modules. A new structural module was identified on the B. subtilis plasmids pTA1015 and pTA1040. It is composed of two genes: one specifies an unidentified protein with a putative...
