This paper deals with the 0 groups of citrate utilizing variants of Escherichia coli (Cit+ E. Coli) isolated from cattle, the production of colicin, hemolysin, K99 antigen, heat stable enterotoxin, and the isolation of plasmid DNA. Among 42 Cit + E. Coli, 12 strains were 020, 9 strains 08, 5 strains 045, 3 strains 0115, 1 strain 064, 1 strain 0139 and remaining strains (11) were untypable. Thirty-nine(81.3%)out of 48 Cit + E. Coli produced colicin and 13(27.0%) produced hemolysin. Of 12 cit + E. coli bearing K99 antigen, 6(50.0%) produced heat stable enterotoxin. In gel electrophoresis for the isolation of plasmid DNA, the number of plasmids varied from 1 to 7 in 10 Cit+ E. Coli. Its molecular weight ranged from 2 to 50 Mdalton, and 50 Mdalton plasmid commonly existed in all strains
