Plasmid Distribution and Evidence for a Proteinase Plasmid in Streptococcus lactis C21

PMCID: PMC187023  PMID: 804856

Abstract

Five plasmids, distinguishable by their molecular weights (106, 2 × 106, 5 × 106, 107, 3 × 107, respectively) were isolated from Streptococcus lactis C2. A spontaneous proteinase-negative derivative of this strain lacked the 107 plasmid.
