Cloning of a multicopy plasmid from the actinorhizad nitrogen-fixing bacterium Frankia sp. and determination of its restriction map.
An 8.3-kb multicopy plasmid, pFQ31, from the nitrogen-fixing Frankia sp. strain ArI3, was cloned into Escherichia coli plasmid vectors and analysed physically. pFQ31 has no detectable sequence homology with another Frankia plasmid, pFQ32, which is present in the same host. Derivatives of pFQ31 with an antibotic resistance marker were introduced into Streptomyces lividans, which is taxonomically related to Frankia, but no stable replication could be achieved.
