title: [Simultaneous presence of three cryptic plasmids of various size in a soil strain of Bacillus subtilis].
abstract: The Bacillus subtilis 1387 soil strain, which contains three cryptic plasmids simultaneously, was described. Two small plasmids (6.3 and 8.5 kb) were homologous to each other, and a large plasmid (30 kb) had no homology with them. The plasmids were separately transmitted into cells of the Bac. subtilis 168 strain, and some plasmid characteristics were analyzed.
