Abstract:
Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 2451-bp plasmid (pMCF1) from a cellulolytic Clostridium revealed that the protein specified by the largest open reading frame (ORF1) was homologous to RepB of Clostridium butyricum plasmid pCB101. The data suggest that pMCF1 belongs to the pC194 family of rolling-circle replicating plasmids and the ORF1 protein functions as its replication protein.
