Abstract
R27, an IncHI1 plasmid of 182 kilobases (kb), which was originally isolated fromSalmonella typhimurium, was found to contain two copies of IS1 in direct orientation. Deletion derivatives constructed in vitro were of two types: a maxi-derivative of 110 kb (pDT1047) with a single complete copy of IS1, and mini-derivatives of 5–6 kb which contained less than a complete copy of IS1. The IncHI1 miniplasmids also contained a portion of the tetracycline resistance determinant from R27 and a replication region related to the RepFIA replicon. Electron microscopic homoduplex studies demonstrated the presence of two other inverted repeat sequences within the miniplasmid that were unrelated to IS1.
