Abstract
Abstract A screening of plasmids in 25 nonpathogenic coryneform bacteria was carried out. 11 Strains showed at least one plasmid, ranging in size from 4.2 to 55 kb. These plasmids did not encode bacteriocin production or resistance to a number of antibiotics or to ions such as arsenite, mercury(II) and cobalt(II). A detailed study of plasmid pBL100 from Brevibacterium linens is presented. pBL100 has a size of 7.75 kb, and contains single sites for the endonucleases: HindIII; PstI, BglII, EcoRI and BamHI. B. linens is easily and efficiently transformed with vectors derived from pBL1 isolated from Brevibacterium lactofermentum.
