Origin and direction of in vitro replication of Haemophilus ducreyi and Neisseria gonorrhoeae ampicillin resistance plasmids.
The origin of replication of Haemophilus ducreyi and Neisseria gonorrhoeae ampicillin resistance plasmids was located by cloning BamHI restriction fragments into vector plasmid pAT153 and a derivative plasmid, pAT2. Selection was made for plasmid maintenance in a polA mutant. Direction of replication was determined by in vitro replication of plasmid DNA in the presence of radiolabeled deoxynucleotide.
