Detection of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid in an isolate of Lactobacillus acidophilus
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
|March 1, 1980
Abstract:
Eight strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus were examined for the presence of plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid, and one, a pig intestinal isolate, showed the presence of a 13.7- and a 6.3-megadalton plasmid. This is the first reported evidence for plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid in Lactobacillus acidophilus. The functions of these plasmids are presently unknown.
