The United States state from which each of the strains was isolated is indicated in parentheses next to the strain name. Probes were picked from E. coli pUC18 plasmid clones used in the genone sequencing project (6, 12). Values in table are sizes in kilobase pairs for plasmids that hybridize to the indicated DNA probes (accurate to about ±0.5, ±1.5, and ±3 kbp for 5 to 10, 10 to 30, and 30 to 60 kbp ranges, respectively). —, no hybridization was seen. Values in parentheses indicate relatively weak hybridization.
