[Artificial Tn2551 transposon with replicative properties].
A hybrid plasmid, pBE10 was constructed. It consists of DNAs of RSF2124 (ColE1 :: Tn3) plasmid and pUB110 plasmid of Staphylococcus aureus. The latter can be stably maintained in Bacillus subtilis. BamHI cleaved pUB110 was introduced into the BamHI site of transposon Tn3 and the resulting enlarged Tn3 (Tn2551) was transposed from pBE10 onto phage lambda and than to pMB9 (Tc) and RSF1010(Sm Su) plasmids. Restriction and heteroduplex analysis of pMB9 :: Tn2551(pBE21) and RSF1010 :: :: TN2551(pBE32) was carried out. Plasmids pBE10, pBE21 and pBE32 demonstrated some kind of molecular instability when introduced by transformation into Bacillus subtilis.
