title: Isolation of plasmids from mycobacteria.
abstract: A procedure for preparing sodium dodecyl sulfate-salt-cleared lysates of mycobacteria was developed. Standard techniques were employed to demonstrate covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid in lysates of nine strains of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare.
