Effect of MobM on the plasmid copy number. Total DNA was isolated from pneumococcal cells harbouring either pMVT (promoter-less mobM) or pMVT-PfcsK (mobM expression is induced by fucose; see Figure 5). Cells were grown in media containing (+) or not containing (−) fucose. Total DNA extracts (3, 6 and 12 μl) were analysed by agarose (0.8%) gel electrophoresis in the presence of ethidium bromide (1 μg/ml). Chromosomal DNA (chr), open circular plasmid DNA (FII) and covalently closed circular plasmid DNA (FI) are indicated. The average copy number of the plasmids (Nav) is indicated.
