TL;DR
A fast and very sensitive procedure is described for detecting plasmids in bacterial strains by agarose gel electrophoresis and the size of plasmid present in one or more copies per cell with a molecular mass ranging from 2 to over 150 megadaltons is identified.
Abstract
A fast and very sensitive procedure is described for detecting plasmids in bacterial strains. The size of plasmids is determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. Plasmids present in one or more copies per cell with a molecular mass ranging from 2 to over 150 megadaltons may be identified.

This work has shown that a trans-dominant gene product is involved in plasmid incompatibility and supports negative control rather than positive control models for regulation of the initiation of DNA replication.

A series of closed circular (I) plasmid DNAs has been derived from drug resistance factor R12, and the nicked circular (II) and linear (III) derivatives of these molecules prepared by irradiation in the presence of ethidium bromide and by treatment with restriction enzyme EcoRI, respectively.

A model for the fusion of the parental F prime factors is proposed in which recombination between γδ sequences bringsatt80 close to themetBJF genes, which can account for the genetic instability of KLF5 observed in bothrecA+ andrecA hosts.
