Characterization of the plasmids of Moraxella bovis
1989
Wilt, G.R. | Wu, G. | Bird, R.C.
Restriction endonuclease digestions were performed on plasmids purified from Moraxella bovis isolates GRS, Newport, and IBH64. It was determined from single and double digestions of plasmid DNA that GRS and Newport isolates carried 3 large plasmids having molecular sizes of 43.8, 41.3, and 32.8 kilobases (kb). Digestion of the 3 large plasmids and restriction endonucleases Hae III, HindIII, Nde I, and Ava I strongly indicated that these isolates shared structurally identical large plasmids. Timed single digestions with Ava I revealed that the IBH64 isolate carried 2 large plasmids having molecular sizes of 45 and 32.8 kb. The 32.8-kb plasmid was the only large plasmid that appeared to be shared by all 3 M bovis isolates. Two isolates, Newport and IBH64, carried small plasmids in addition to the large plasmids. Restriction maps were constructed for the 43.8-, 41.3-, and 32.8-kb plasmids.
