Plasmids in Several Strains of Deinococcus radiodurans

Deinococcus radiodurans is known as a radioresistant bacterium. For the construction of the shuttle vector, plasmids of this bacterium were isolated and investigated. At least two new plasmids in the cells of D. radiodurans ${\rm MR}_{1}$, ${\rm KR}_{1}$ and Sark were found in this experiment. Howev...

Description
Summary:Deinococcus radiodurans is known as a radioresistant bacterium. For the construction of the shuttle vector, plasmids of this bacterium were isolated and investigated. At least two new plasmids in the cells of D. radiodurans ${\rm MR}_{1}$, ${\rm KR}_{1}$ and Sark were found in this experiment. However, a common plasmid among ${\rm MR}_{1}$, ${\rm KR}_{1}$ and Sark strains could not be found. These plasmids would be useful for the construction of the shuttle vector for cloning radioresistant genes of this bacterium.
