Plasmids in Leuconostoc oenos

Plasmid. 1987 Mar;17(2):173-5. doi: 10.1016/0147-619x(87)90025-4.

Abstract

A new procedure was used to isolate 11 plasmids from eight Leuconostoc oenos strains. Plasmid DNA was not detected in 34 other strains of this species. Plasmid sizes ranged from 2.47 to 4.61 kilobase pairs. This is the first report of extrachromosomal elements in L. oenos.
