title: Rapid method for isolation of high molecular weight plasmids suitable for digestion with restriction endonucleases.
abstract: The described method is a modification of the hot alkaline method (Kado and Liu, 1981). The modification lies in replacement of SDS with Triton X- 100. The DNA purified by this method was readily digested with restriction endonucleases for a variety of applications, e. g. restriction analysis of plasmid DNA in epidemiological studies, restriction mapping and cloning of high molecular weight plasmids, and for identification of transpozon mutants.
